vs Friday December 5, 2003 Toronto Raptors (10-8) vs Atlanta Hawks (6-13) 7:30 pm EST - Air Canada Centre Head Coaches Kevin O'neil and Terry Scotts Raptors Starters PG-Jalen Rose, SG-Alvin Williams, SF-Vince Carter, PF-Donyell Marshall, C-Chris Bosh Hawks Starters PG-Jason Terry, SG-Dion Glover, SF-Stephen Jackson, PF-Shareef Abdur-Rahim, C-Theo Ratliff <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TORONTO (Ticker) -- The Toronto Raptors look to put on another show for their fans at the Air Canada Centre as they face the Atlanta Hawks in a Central Division matchup. Toronto is 2-0 since acquiring Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall from the Chicago Bulls in Monday's six-player deal, which sent Jerome Williams and Antonio Davis to Chicago. After struggling on offense for most of the season, the Raptors have scored 95 and 105 points in the two games. Rose and Marshall made their home debuts in Wednesday's 105-95 victory over the Boston Celtics, when the Raptors treated their fans to a club-record 17 3-pointers. Marshall and Vince Carter scored 21 points apiece as Toronto improved to 6-2 at home. Marshall made five 3-pointers as Toronto shot 71 percent (17-of-24) from the arc </div> Full Story For the Raptors to win this game they need to contain Theo Ratliff and Shareef Abdur-Rahim on the boards, those are two big players and they can be tough to rebound over especially with an undersized front court. The Raptors hit an NBA Season high 17 three pointers on Wednesday, but for this game against the Hawks they can't rely on the long jumper, tonight they'll need to drive to the basket and get to the line. Lastly, the Raptors need to continue to move the ball like they've done the last two games, thats why they've been scoring so much, they've had great open looks.
Toronto had a 14 point lead and blew it. 42 41 halftime. Jalen and Donyell are playing well and Vince had an amazing dunk on a fast break.
Toronto is playing like Garbage. You know that when theyre losing to shitty hawks. Boris diaw is ****, all he does is travel every single play
WiN! I forget the score) bah..too lazy to check. Vince came up strong after he fouled and sat out the 3rd. It was a 1 point game for us and we took it. Vince got a rebound when it counted.(what i can remembER)
Jalen Rose has 22 and 10 assist and 8 rebounds. Vince had 22 in aroudn 26 minutes. Donyell Marshall played very good again with 22.
The new guys are really impressing. My prediction was pretty close. Cant wait till next game, I'd like to c how they do agaisnt the west.
