Do you guys think Raptors are gonna beat the Wizards? Well I think so as they got the home court advantag and they're awesome at home. But Arenas is an awesome player and might win at the buzzer lol.Damn we gotta wait until Wednesday!
I don't really know if we will win this game because don't forget we blew a huge lead when they were trapping us and we had lots of turn overs to let them catch up. If they watch videos, the Wizards may pull out a win by just trapping again. And even when the first time they experienced it, they continue to make the same mistakes. The Raptors will only win if they can handle all the trap and double team and hold down Arenas. So right now I would say Wizards would win even though the Raptors are on a role. But the Raptors played horrible against the Pacers today which was suppose to be a winnable game and bring us above 500.
Raptors always mess up at the end. They have a good first half, and then in the 3rd quarter they mess up. Then sometimes they suddenly come back at the 4th and win it, or they don't. They need to keep the lead to win.

Yeah the Pacers were on fire. I hope nothing like that happens in the Wizards game. They need this win. I want them over .500.
It will be tough. The Wizards have an amazing offense. Bosh will have to get 30, and other guys will have to take advantage of their terrible defense also.
yeah the Pacers game was just ridiculous as they were hitting every shot...like common armstrong hitting 3s and faders off the screen? what is that? Anyways I beleive we could beat the Wizards we just have to step up defensively and we should have a 100% healthy roster by then with Ford hopefully coming back and Andrea being 100% which should be the X-Factor.
Great. The game is today. I really hope they win this and the next to get over damn .500. And Carter got the game winning shot for the Nets and are now tied with the Raptors. They need this win.

Wonder why Calderon isn't in the rookie-sophmore game, sophmore too stacked with PGs though.. Bosh was real good, 14 straight shots? + midcourt one haha gg.
Hell yeah! Raptors win. Beat the Wizards. won by 10 but were leading by like 19. Arenas didn't play very good. Bosh with over 30 points, Calderon was amazing. Better than T.J. Ford imo. Awesome game.
Bosh had a 65 foot shot at the end of the 3rd quarter. Amazing shot and Mitchell went bananas. Jose had career night, nice to see him still producing in the efforts to take up TJ's spot until he's back to 100%. Mo Pete and Anthony Parker good job at shooting the 3's. But I was disappointed to see Chuch take out the Salami and Chesse so late.
What a motivating win for the Toronto Raptors beating the number 1 team in the east and now have sole possession of first place over the Nets in the Atlantic. The Raptors scored 119 and that was enough to beat the highest scoring team in the East which is very surprising. But the one thing that really stood out was Chris Bosh's amazing performance who is the All-Star STARTER for the East. He missed his first 4 shots but went on to hit 15 in a row to finish 15-19 and had 34 points. To keep his streak alive in the 3rd quarter he made about a 75 footer to beat the buzzer...nothing but net too. Maybe the Raptors can keep this up and could pose a threat since they are so young and talented.
Hah yeah, but you never know when Arenas will start scoring.Man that shot was amazing. I love how Sam mitchell went crazy like that lol. Coaches like that are awesome.Anybody think Jose should start even when Ford is 100%?Btw Raptors play better when they face a more challenging team.
I don't know, maybe cause Arenas was talking so much sh*t and it motivated the Raptors to beat him. That is so unprofessional of him. Just because he didn't make the USA team. HE should put the past behind him.
Man, I love Calderon's game. It seems that everytime I watch the guy play, he plays good. He pushes the ball very well, he can hit open jumpers, and is a pretty damn good passer as well. I dont think he should start, because you dont normally switch starters like that in the middle of the year. Especially when Ford didnt do anything wrong to get his starting job taken away from him.
Well today they were both playing at the same time once. Calderon seems more agressive and gets the team hyped.
Yeah I still would rather have Ford starting over Calderon but before Ford got injured I believe Calderon was only averaging like 17 minutes a game so hopefully due to his recent preformances he could get more minutes once TJ is 100%. The game was a great one to watch as Andrea is slowly getting his stride back and everyone is finally contributing (Parker, MoPete, Graham, Rasho). The only reason I believe the Wiz were hanging in the game was because of Javis Hayes' 3pt shooting in the 3rd and 4th quarters, he just drained a 3 off the dribble or off the pass, he was the player I was worried about not Agent Zero.

But he should get it back within the next 3-5 games, but yes I agree Calderon has imrpoved greatly, and taken over a leadership role, that he worked hard for and he deserves it.
