I haven't really watched the Hawks, but have they been playing good lately? I really want the Raps to make it over .500 today. They're not at home today...
I think we can easily take this as long as Josh Smith doesn't go off tnoight. If Smith and Johnson both score over 25 points, then we might have some problems, but otherwise I think we can easily take this game. We are red hot right now. Chris Bosh will score 30+ easily in my opinion. If someone else can add 20 or more then we've got it.
I think we should open up a lead early and build on it through the entire game, Johnson doesn't worry me we just have to play defense on him and make him pass the ball like we did with Gilbert. We lost 2 games to the Hawks in the beginning of the season cause we were playing real poor defense but now we have picked it up so hopefully we could go above .500 today!!!
Wow Over .500! thats so exciting I cant wait, beating the Wizards was key, I think it got our confidence level up. Anyways, Im loving the Raptors streak, My Raptors goal of 45 wins doesn't seem so bad now. Maybe 42-39 is a better record for this team, but I want to push for 45!
I don't even have Raptors tv because when I first got it, I had to activate the box but I lost the remote befor I could. Now it's just sitting there. Can't watch this game..
u should get it man, but the rest of the stfuf on it is boring, I just got ir for games even tho thats a huge ripoff, I still want to watch every raptor game
Yeh I'll try to buy a new remote to activate it. I really just want it for the Raptors. I'll have to look up the score online.
The Hawks have actually been playing very well as of late with Johnson, Childress, and Josh Smith all stepping their games up. January was the Hawks first winning month since April of 2003-2004 which is a pretty damn long time. Tyronn Lue who was out for longer than expected is back and should greatly help them out at the pg position. The Raptors have been hot as of late too with Bosh being his dominant self and Jose Calderon is really stepping it up with the abscence of T.J. Ford. They are at the .500 mark for the first time in a while and I look for the Raptors to keep their hot streak alive and be 1 game up of .500 and try to extend the division lead.
I'm not sure you can say the Raps clearly should win this game. Hawks could come out and look like a playoff team, or they'll look like crap. Were very inconsistant, but I'd expect it to be very close, and I see us coming out of this game with a win. We have to get Josh Smith the ball more, and let Joe get his shots. Joe can pass the ball better than anyone on the court, so don't think if you stop him from scoring you'll automatically win..I would expect to see some double teams on Bosh, and let them prove to us they can make some outside shots.
We cant hang on to the ball. Were being dumb with it, and turning it over every possession..ughJosh Smith looks real good, but Joe has 3 fouls, and Josh can't carry the team. Oh well..we just gotta slowly pull it back together.
raps lead by 17. damn looks like this game is over, unless woodson knocks some sense out of the hawks at half
Raptors win, saw the whole game, Morris Peterson was great, shooting 5-7 from 3-point, Bosh was quiet but had nice numbers, Ford 8 assists in 7 minutes in the first half! Good 3-point shooting. Raptors officially over the .500 mark
I got 39 points because I went for Bosh in NBA fantasy!Hah, what now. Over .500. Nets are gonna lose in a couple of minutes. they're trailing by like 30. So Nets 22-25, Raptors 24-23!!
I would have loved to see a comeback, Toronto couldnt guard Joe or Josh. We controlled Bosh pretty well, and played Rasho tough in the 2nd half, but MoPete just kept hitting threes which killed us really..Josh Smith lit you guys up though, and had a few big time dunks..Jose Caledron looked like a vet running the floor too..
I couldn't see the game. My mom and dad were watching a movie where I had the digital cable set up. Oh well, good to see that Mo got 21 though..
Wow the Raptors are doing so well, Im glad we pulled this out because they almost had the game and we were going to lose. I am glad to see they pulled it out. But for us to reach the next level of basketball, we have to be able to control situations like these. But anyways, good win for the Raptors, we are over .500!
