Turnovers: The Raptors have to limit the turnovers they give up they did a good job last game and won so this is going to be important in this game as well. Get Back On D: The Raptors did a good job on defence late in the game against the Magic they have to do that and not the let Rockets get open shots and if the Raptors run get back on D. <font size="5">....</font> <font color="green">Key Injuries</font> Houston: Out a couple of weeks - Toe Out indefinatly - Broken Finger Raptors: Questionable - Heel Questionable - Calf <font size=""5"">.....</font> <font color="red">Prediction:</font> This should be a close game the Raptors can win. <font size=""5"">.....</font></div>
Well even with Yao out, Tmac can win games by himself, he had been doing it before with the Magic, so it's nothing new. I expect a close game, but a breakdown at the end leading to a loss.
I think it's gonna be a close game till the star of the 4th and than the rockets push the lead .. Rockets by 8-12
well...tmac with only 6 points and we're almost at half...leading scorer for raps:bosh/bonner 9 points rockets leading scorer: JUWAN HOWARD...OMGWTFBBQ?
Ya Raps are in control. TMac is playing like garbage and Swift is also playing brutal. CB4 isn't even playing that well.
T-Mac looked like the last year in Orlando version: waaay too passive. Swift looks like one of the most overrated signings in a while.
TMac was too disinterested to cause any serious harm. Sure, he did get 13 assists or something, but it doesn't mean squat because he didn't look to shoot. When you got guys around you who can't create for themselves, you have to take over and lead the team. He wasn't looking to shoot the ball 90% of the time and just passed it away as if he's the big brother not wanting to keep the ball away from his little brothers. Now's not the time to be unselfish, SCORE THE GODDAMN BALL!
