Game #34: Toronto Raptors 104 - Charlotte Hornets 94

[raptors999]

Vucevic is playing really well. Smiles is a really good coach.

Not just smiles, but pats on the backs go a long way with multimillionare professional athletes

[raptors999]

Jeremy Lin will miss tonight's @hornets game in Toronto. No decision yet on Nic Batum or Spencer Hawes.

NOP deja vu

Lol. Skiles not smiles.

This will undoubtedly be THE most crucial game of the year thus far.

By far the most must-win game of the year so far.

LOL You guys think you are SOO clever ... I giggled.. take your likes.

[Abbas]

guys remember to vote Demar and kyle

especially Demar hes killing it

10 Minutes to tip... Its a new Year....

Raps start 2016 with a win including myself and perhaps CB4Champ somewhere in that soliloquy clocking in @ 8

Our time is now!
DOWN WITH CHARLOTTE!!!

The team is at full strength now. Hopefully that results in a better outcome than last time.
No Jeremy Lin game winners please

They're dealing with a lot of injuries. Jefferson's out another 6 weeks and Lin missed tonight's game.
I think we can handle Kemba and Batum. Jonas should feast on Zeller.
Not worried about Williams or Hairston, but the wildcard is Frank the Tank.

Carroll being back might really help us on the perimeter. Biz will be motivated to play his old team like he was in the first match up and JV should have the feel for the game back. Raptors edge them out.

Raps are gonna crush them. I'm in full homer mode after the holidays and with JV back.

Yeah. This is a huge game for us. We MUST find a away to win.

No Lin equals easy win

Somehow, someway still scared about the curse of the Hornets or fearing that Lin Haircut.. tied for worst in the league with those skunk cuts in Boston on Smart and Sullinger @ 6

we can never beat the hornets. even if lowry scores a billion points, somehow the hornets will score a billion and 1.

I fear this game... I went to the game last Jan 8 and it was bad, real bad. We really struggle vs Charlotte for some reason, even lose when they don't have Jefferson or Batum. The Raps really need to take this one because Chicago and Cleveland afterwards doesn't get easier. I don't mind a loss to the Cavs, but I really want these games vs the Horncats and Bulls.

2 of the 3 would be great. hornets always have our number. i would like to get the bulls back as well.

Lin is a certified Raptor killer. I'm not confident in this game.

Charlotte could replace they're starting 5 with D league players and they'll still beat us.

They could play Kaminsky against us 1-on-5 the whole game and they'd win.

Feed the big man the ball. JV can destroy Zeller on that end of the floor.

Athletes shouldn't play on New Years day (England Football Championship):

Brighton vs Wolves 3pm local time.

He's actually been sick for the past 6 days apparently... but yeah that looks bad.

[rocwell]

OK, my eyes are still durnk, but I think Jonas looks slimmer

[GLF]

If they dont beat Charlotte tonight they are never going to beat them. Carroll already looks horrible. His D has been horrendous this season so far

[JWash]

The game is on Jan 1.

That joke went way over my head lol sorry.

[A.I]

Nice pass JV.

[tDotted]

So JV can pass.. players just need to be cutting

Jv will score like 8pts in the 1st and get 2 shots for the remaining 3 quarters

Our offball movement usually sucks. Big men mostly get assists from off-ball cuts.
