The Raptors have to be agressive and hit there shots early. Rebounding: Bobcats have a big team up front everyone of the Raptors has to contribute to rebounding and not let the Bobcats get second chance point off them. Pass the Ball: Good things have happened when the Raptors share the ball and swing it around they got away from that agaisnt the Lakers and did not get good shots. <font size="5">....</font> <font color="green">The X-Factor</font> Joey Graham has shown flashes of the player he was in Oklahoma now he has to put it together and start performing for the Raptors. He is a agressive defender and the Raptors need that the lack defence right know. <font size=""5"">.....</font> <font color="red">Prediction:</font> This is a very winnable game for the Raptors if they can share the ball I think they can leave Charlotte with a win. <font size=""5"">.....</font></div> PS. hasnt been a preview in a while so i thought id make one hope its ok
Nice preview. You have a similar style to another irresistable member in this forum. Anyways, this game is winable, but it's losable as well. If we don't come out with intensity, the BET Cats will abuse us. They have a solid front court. P.S- If you're interested to continue doing several previews, pm so we can arrange the games. Good job
nice preview well this is really a game which we can win we just have to start off strong and finish off strong aswell I predict Raps by 15
^^ i agree this is a make or break situation for the raps...mo pete is playing horrible he is so streaky it seems and yet he hides it so well...... i always wante to trade mo away..... i dont care if he's been playing well the past couple games. we shoulda traded the guy away to some lowly team and gotten david west in return or something like that. now look! mo is inconsistent and West is a MIP candidate. he is a great 3.

well i cant speak for Sam but i think he likes the fact that Bonner has a good shot so he keeps putting him on to hit 3 pointers.

The Raptors out rebounded the Bobcats and kept there turnovers to 2 in the second half. The Raptors played a strong 3rd quater and the Bobcats could not come back from being down 10 points.CV was great again with 19 points and 9 brounds off the bench in 28 minutes. The Raptors next game will be on Weds.
Bosh killed the Bobcat's frontline tonight. He was doing it all: driving, dunking, dishing out of double teams. Also liked Mike James's play. He was aggressive at taking it to the basket and found the open man. Also a great job of orchestrating the break.
