Official Game Thread: Orlando @ Toronto (2/7/07)

Yea, Rasho was real disappointing tonight. Especially since we'd seen him play well against Dwight last time. Our defense never really stepped it up (except for a few timely steals here or there) and Orlando just stopped making them for a while.

Bosh was amazing in the 2nd half. I've never seen the dude so assertive and productive on the offensive end. And he continued his new habit of passing out of the double team, so the Magic had to be more honest than they probably would've preferred.

I thought TJ and Jose's stats were very interesting. Almost indentical in every way, right down to the minutes. And it just shows how we don't lose a step when we sub off one of them.

 

Up next:

Friday: the Lakers are intown for their 2nd game in two nights. Lakers' play Detroit on Thursday

Saturday: Raptors play their second game in two nights againts the Pistons

Tuesday: Raptors play in Chicago

Wednesday: Another back to back game this time at home against the Nets

These last four games prior to the all-star break could give some perspective as to whether or not the Raptors are an upper echelon eastern conference team or not. I don't think its a matter of winning all of them or anything; obviously the Nets game is a key divisional game @ home and the Lakers should be tired and weary after battling the Pistons the night before. ButI would just like to see the raptors play compettitive ball especially against Chicago and Detroit who seem to always hammer us.

 

That sucks, we have 2 back to backs coming up.

And the 2nd game of the 2nd back to back, is a very important game against New Jersey. Not to mention the game before isn't at home, (Chicago)

 

Nice win for the Raps. 4th straight.

41 points from CB4 is sick, but I have to mention D12's 32 points, too.


CB is just awesome.

 

Here it is:
Friday: Against Lakers.... W
Sat: Against Detriot... L
Tues: Against Chicago.. L
Wed: Against Nets... W

Going into the Allstar Break... we will be at (28-25) attainable for sure.

But u never know if we manage to win one on the road or perhaps both, we could be looking at 8 games winning streak and a record of (30 - 23), which is also attainable especially with the way we playing right now.

 

My guesses:

Friday: Lakers .... close Loss
Sat Detroit ... medium Loss

Tues: Chicago ... close Win
Wed: Nets ... big Loss

At Allstar break: 27-26

 

vs Lakers - big loss.
vs Detroit - close loss.

vs Chicago - medium win.
vs Nets - big win.

 

vs. Lakers - W. Should be cloes but i think we can pull it off
vs. Detroit - L. Doubt well be very competitive in this one. 2nd game in two nights and against a team we don't match up well with.

vs. Chicago - L. I dunno how you guys see us winning this one. There's always someone on chicago hot enough to kill us. There defense usually shuts our offense down then Mitchell doesn't have the brain power to start the offensive sets up again.
vs. Nets - ? - It's hard to say how this one will play out, I'm hoping we win. If we can get good contributions from our bench hopefully we'll pull it out.

Same pics I have as well. I'm not sure the people who have picked us to win against Chicago are familliar with our recent history against them. They've had our number for at least a couple years now. They keep beating us, and I'm not confident we'll keep up the winning against them. I think looking at the next 3 games, the Lakers are really our best chance to get a W. Followed by a 2 game loosing streak, and get back in the win column against the Nets.
