Lets just say, Okafor >>> Chandler

Hornets might want revenge!!!

[Gurk]

We will lose. WE will come back to where we were. Hence I never got excited after last nnight's victory

Not sure because of the early start if Raps Fan is going to do the Raptors Republic one.

[Dave]

This is a very winnable game ... Raps should beat the Hornets.

The Hornets are under-performing pretty badly (mostly defense, offense too though) at the moment.

[Doc]

Good 1st half. Little concerned on how many offensive boards the Hornets are getting, but I like how we went to the paint in the 2nd quarter. I'd like to see Jack work CP3's ankle a little bit more though.

[Gurk]

I missed most of the first half cuz I forgot about the game. I was having too much fun playing MW2 . Anyways from what I say the Raps are playing good but need to get on the glass

You know your losing interest in the Raptors when you forget about a game.

Nah, I missed the 1st quarter because I was playing some FIFA 10 on the Xbox.

[Gurk]

LOL. I just got the PS3 aday ao and I wanted to beat MW2 so badly that I just forgot. Don't worry I doubt it'll happen again
