    This here is the opening paragraph on Yahoo Sports this morning for tonight's game review:</p>

    Orlando's Dwight Howard has four straight double-doubles and is coming off his best effort of the young season. That could be bad news for Toronto, as its own All-Star forward still is recovering from an injury. http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nba/preview?gid=2007110728</p>

    ....I think the home croud and the depth of the team will give us a good chance!</p>

    I would think Bargnani/Rasho would be defending Howard. Bosh is too much of a liability when it comes to man defense. Either way, the frontcourt doesn't worry me the most. Both Bargnani and Bosh played excellent against Orlando last season, so this would be a good game for either to bounce back. The small forward matchup is the real problem so far this season. That article rightly pointed out that the player guarded by Kapono has gone off on us in every single game: Iguodala (23), Jefferson (27), Allen (33), Mason (21). Delfino needs to be starting. I've believed this since the pre-season, but its all the more clear at this point of the season. I just hope Smitch isn't too stubborn/stupid to make the change.

    Game thread should be coming up soon.

    And welcome to the site Willy.</p>

    D-Ho certainly has a chance for another big game tonight but like Chutney I worry about the swing positions and their ability to defend and hold their own on offense.</p>

    Hopefully, Chris is fired up about this game and is ready for a challenge!</p>

    Thanks for the welcoming words Chutney!!</p>

    I agree that Kapono would benifit us better playingoff the bench!! He seems too tensefor the starting role... Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and I think he'll make some game winning 3's for us this year, but Delfino has really impressed me defensively and he's only going to get better as the season progresses!!!</p>
