Game Thread: 76ers @ Raptors TORONTO RAPTORS vs PHILADELPHIA 76ERS ===================================== Wednesday, November 19, 2003, 7:00PM EST Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP: PG: Snow SG: Iverson SF: Mckie PF: Jackson C: Dalembert Keys to the Game: The Sixers need to double team Vince Carter just like the Rockets did. They need to make players like Antonio Davis, Jerome Williams and Milt Palacio beat them instead of Vince Carter. Im not sure who is going to guard Allen Iverson he should have a good game. With Kenny Thomas and Derrick Coleman injured someone has to be a force in the post it will likely be Marc Jackson. TORONTO RAPTORS PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP: PG: Williams SG: Carter SF: Curry PF: Bosh C: Davis Keys to the Game: The Raptors have to get Vince Carter the ball on offence as much as possible. Vince will be mad about his sub-par performance against the Rockets so he should have a good game. Bosh should start after he had 25 points and 9 rebounds against the Rockets. Alvin Williams should get more than 18 minutes. Davis and Bosh both need some touches in the post and take advantage of Kenny Thomas and Derrick Coleman being injured. Lamond Murray looks like he is getting back to form. Prediction: With Carter having a bad game against Houston I think he is going to explode with 35. And Bosh and Davis will take advantage of the 76ers weak frontcourt. AI will have a good game. The Raptors are 5-0 at home. Raptors by 5.
yea, Raps should be able to pull out a win on this one, they got all the right energy goin their way... but Vince better drop some serious numbers, cause you know for sure Iverson gon come at ya.
that's right .. I think Vince should have a good game .. at least match AI's numbers .. and then the rest ofour players will be able to beat the rest of theirs .. ! Althoughhe played a monster game yesterday .. I don't expect Bosh to start ... KO will start with JYD and sees the flow of the game .. and he inserts Bosh in the right time ... prediction : The Rapstors should be able to pull this one out .. so .. I'll say .. Raps by 3
Raps21, you have too much free time - I think the Raps will lose by a couple, Bosh WONT start, Vince WONT do good and AI will do great.
Nice job KC. Yeah I think the Raps might win this one... Its an injured Sixers squad and for the weirdest reason they play 100x better at home than they do on the road. Vince will have a normal game, and AI will have a great game. I think Bosh should start in this game only because he wont have much competition on the boards, its not like the Sixers have a great front court, so it will be easier for him.
I think the Raptors can win this one.... I want to see a high scoring game from Vince..... The Raptors like the 29 other NBA teams must contain AI as well or it's going to be tough.
Raptors are winning by 1 at Halftime. 45-44 Vince had 12 first quarter pts, then was passing it up with some great assists.
yah .. Bosh had an excelent first half with 14 points and 4 boards Vince has 12 ,3 and 3 ... good game for him !
wow. i was really suprised that the sixers won this. i didn't expect it at all. marc jackson had a great game. and so did chris bosh for the raptors.

^naw ..lemme win! but im very surprised Raptors couldnt pull this one out.. What was wit the stats...i turn on the game...JYD...no attempted field goals(when i saw). and allthe starters except for VC had a ppoor night....*sigh*,....@least bosh did well... Bosh for ROTY!
Geese, can the Raptors even score with a crack head prostitute? The way they are going at it, I would have my doubts.
it has been a two man story for Raps .. Vince and Bosh ... give a credit to philly ( Snow and Mckie ) ... they played with great effort .. they outworked the Raptors .. they really deserve the win .. hopfully we bounc back against the east champs on saturday
GG is a horrible GM. I'm starting to hate O Neill he thinks defence wins games but its only 50 percent of the game. Alvin should get played more. Palacio sucks. Bosh should start. Curry shouldnt see anymore than 10 minutes. The Raptors need to make some moves. I wish we could get a pg like Earl Watson, Jamal Tinsley or Jeff Mccinis. I wish Mike Bradley was still healthy.
