    The Cousines go Head To Head

    This Friday on ESPN, will be the first meeting of the season between The Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic ..

    Although both teams ain't playing great .. most of the fans looking at this higly anticipated game as another battle of : Vince vs Tracy
    and it has always been great games when these two face each other

    the Magic are 1-13 .. lost 13 in a row .. and never won at home this season .. and what a motivation for T-Mac and company if their first home win comes against his old team and cousine Vince Carter, espicially that the game will be televised nationaly on ESPN !

    For the Raptors .. they're not happy either although their record ain't as bad as Orlando's .. but they're coming out of two straight home losses against Philly and Milwakee ... and not playing so great on the road !

    Both teams have a game on wedensday .. the Raptors are going to Atlanta and the Magic hosting the Celtics ..


    So .. who's ur pick for this game ? .. Is it gonna be Tracy and The Magic .. or Vince and The Raptors ?

    yeah, this matchup lost everything, so who cares.

    Sad, but true.

    Maybe the Raptors will win by scoring 60 this time, ha.

    I gotta go with the Magic. First, their due. Secondly, the Raptors offense is struggling beyond belief. Aside from Vince Carter, no other player averages double figures. Plus, this team has also scored in the 60s 3 times this year. I look for the Magic to finally win a game, but, it might not be pretty. Wouldn't be surprised to see low to mid 80s win this one.

    hahaha...60-59...win by the Raptors...with Tmac scoring 51 of the 59 points...hehehe

    I would like to assume that TMac will score a load of points...because he must be feeling that this is the perfect chance to get a W...

    Gotta go with my team. The Magic will take this. They hopefully will be coming off a win against the Celtics tomorrow, which would give them motivation. Tmac will have a monster game and have better stats than his cousin(since Tmac plays better d than VC), but VC will still have a big game. The key will be who will step up Gooden/Howard or Bosh/Antonio Davis.

    That statements proves you havn't watched games of his if at all..He has improved his defense quite abit..and isn't a bad defender now.

    Man, YOU SAID IT!!! I can't stand BW. He has the IQ of mudd. When I hear him talk, I think to myself, "Self - every man, woman and child should have gainful employment if this guy has a job as a basketball announcer and gets paid for it".

    I know my 2 cents have nothing to do with T-Mac VS VC, but I think everyone else exhausted the obvious comments.

    Hey, you know what, I'd actually be scared of a struggling team. They're gonna be desperate to get a win night in night out. That could at least make em semi-dangerous.
