    If we lose to the worse road team in the NBA tonight, we may as well pack it in and get ready for next season.

    Predict and discuss!

    This is a MUST win. We can't lose to a 15-46 team that has the worst road record in the league. I say the Raptors come out with a strong effort and win 101-93.

    If Juan Dixon starts again (which he probably will), he'll be guarding Miller. That's a recipe for disaster. Prediction: Miller with 32 pts.

    If we play the same way we did in Washington (in terms of rebounding and defense), it won't even matter that we're playing one of the worst teams in the NBA, we're still going to lose.

    I'm loving the Bargnani-Gasol matchup. Andrea's been holding his own against him.

    Dixon with another good game. Great pickup by BC.

    you were dissin dixon couple hours ago and praising him now..lol

    I agree with u tho. I would rather have dixon instead of peterson.

    Even though he's short, he plays hard and can create his own shot which

    mo-pete can't do.

    I think we should trade peterson for athletic center this off season.

    Based on araujo and fred jones trade, I am 99% sure BC will make great trade

    this off season.

    lol, how was that a diss? Juan Dixon on Mike Miller was a potential matchup problem, but Miller didn't shoot particularly well tonight.

    Anyways, nice bounce back game. Bosh still didn't play as great as I was expecting, though. He was a bit too hesitant and turned over the ball a few times. Bargnani was our best player tonight. I was especially impressed with how he was up to the challenge of defending Gasol. Especially considering he's gone through some family issues, a flight, and it was a back-to-back.

    btw, did anyone else notice Leo giving Gasol the Steve Nash treatment?
