v

Battle of the Power Forwards. For the Nets to compete and try to win this game, Yi will have to do a good job defending Chris Bosh, who leads the Raptors with 25.5 PPG. Yi will also need to contribute on the points board for the Nets to win this.

</td></tr><tr class="sectHeader"><td colspan="2" height="127">X Factors!

</td></tr><tr class="x factor"></tr><tr><td>Devin Harris

We've all seen Devin in action and can expect 20+ points. He'll need to use his speed and agility to create easy opportunities for himself and his teammates. If he can attract the fouls, he'll give the Nets a good chance to win.
</td><td>Jermaine O'neal

Off-Season acquisition Jermaine O'neal is a proven veteran in the league. He's currently averaging 13.5 PPG, but we know he can erupt for points. If his game is on tonight, the Raptors will be in good position.
</td></tr><tr class="sectHeader"><td colspan="2">Prediction

</td></tr><tr class="prediction"><td colspan="2">

This game is all about stopping Chris Bosh, as well as having that 3rd scorer for the Nets. I expect a good contribution from Yi tonight.

98-94 Nets win</td></tr></tbody></table>

 

Nets > Raptors

 

I expect a Najera on Bosh defensive battle. Bosh doesn't do to well when guarded by smaller players like him. Hope it's a good match.

 

there was a game last year where Yi had 12pts against the raps and held bosh to only 2pts. I think that was Yi's first time scoring in double figures...

If Vince doesnt score 40+ against Raptors, He should be ashamed

 

"basketball, nets vs raptors, SLAUGHTER!"

raptors win in a slaughtering of the nets. the ACC crowd is too pumped and energized. raptors are too strong up front. nets are too young. I just cant see any way we can win this one.

i hope ill be proven wrong

 

I know were going to loose this.I just want Vince to have a monstrous game and i will be happy

 

Raptors are not all that now.

6-5 so far, Nets have a chance.

 

going to be an ugly game for us I think. remember the first time the raps played us last season?

 

Lopez is starting to foul like Sean

 

I think I have OCD. I just fixed the spacing on your X-Factors section.

 

Man how's that riddiculous foul call on Yi on the rebound?

 

Yi has gotten 2 fouls and caused 1 fould for both carter and lopez.

 

The ref's hate the Nets

 

Stream link?

 

Fuck YI i said it. He fucking sucks and doesn't deserve to start

 

we may see the Nets forfeit because all their players foul out

 

Yi just having a tough with Bosh. VC with a great dunk.

 

Yi makes the weakest fouls in the NBA

 

tank that shit
