^ So many KG comparisons going on nowadays. First Bosh, now Howard. Wow, Bosh is playing horrible nowadays, he was playing amazing at the beginning of the year, and hasn't been the same since. Howard looks phenomenal, he will become a bulkier version of KG no doubt in his prime while Bosh will be the physical version of a young KG Nonetheless, nice win for the Magic. Your team straight killed us. And I won't be like many fans on these baords and say it was a fluke, because it wasn't. Your team manhandled us in this game with thier efforts. Great to see Grant Hill back. Good luck the rest of the season.
Thanks spawn, after watching both games who do you think is the better team. Magic or Heat? I personally believe magic. Heat have a close game and lose by 2. Magic win by 21 and almost led by 40 at one point. Yes the raps came off a game but it doesnt affect them THAT much.

It is not like we beat the Heat we beat a team that beat them. We wont know who is better until playoff time or at least the end of the season. I mean remember the Eagles this year w ebeat a team that beat the Steelers, but ended up losing to the Steelers.
20 boards, 15 points for D12. Wow. EIGHT of our guys got in double digits. Yeah, I'd say we played a great game
After seeing Bosh blow right by Howard and exposing him on D early in the first quarter, I just thought, "Alright Bosh is gonna destroy Howard tonight".... man-o-man was I ever wrong. As a Raptor fan, this is probably one of the most embarassing games I've ever seen. It's so bad that the final score even makes it seem like it was a lot closer than it really was. The Raps lost by 21 but they were well on their way to losing by close to 50 had it not been for those garbage points. Congrats on the win and Howards already got my vote for ROY.
thanks dunks, the raptors are a good team they are jsut having problems right now. Vince played pretty well considering his other games this season. They just shot horribly in the 2nd half and didnt rebound much. Good luck on your season and thanks for the support and vote for Howard lol
^ Thanks for the support MagicFAn. I think the main reason why we (the Raps) lost tonight was because of our non existent defense. We allowed your team to score over 60% of your shots at the half and nearly 60% at the end. And getting outrebounded by 29 boards didn't help much either. It's weird. Before the game, I thought these two teams matched up pretty well. I would've never expected to get blown out by this much. One other thing.... what's up with the low attendance at the TD Waterhouse Centre? Your team is one of the best in the East yet it looks like you average the same amount of fans as the Hawks.

Dwight Howard benched 275 lbs 9 times, the Raptors post game analysis guys said he's added 90 lbs to his bench press, Bosh still sturggles with 185 lbs.

^^^The funny thing about that post is last year we had no centers what so ever. We had Steven Hunter and Andrew Declerq. Over the offseason, the Magic did a great job getting Battie and Cato through trades and signings. We know how it feels to have no big men.
dunks, we have i think 3rd or 2nd oldest arena so that is one reason why we have such small attendance. When we have a full attendance( i think like 17K something) it isnt as much as some of the newer arenas. Also some fans are still weary after last years dissapointment. I have been to 2 regular season games already and 1 preseason.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MagicFan3:</div><div class="quote_post">Howard is incredible. This kid is going to be the next Kevin Garnett. Guarenteed.</div> Don't say that he will be the next KG. He's gonna be Dwight Howard. Dwight doesn't really have that much of an outside game like KG does and there are too many comparisons, just let the players play and call them them, not someone else. There's gonna be a lot of Dwight Howard comparisons in a couple of years. :mrgreen: Sorry for that rant, I'm just tired of hearing about the next MJ or next KG, etc. Dwight will be a beast in the future. Now we need to give him the ball some, run a couple of plays for him. The end of the game yesterday was a perfect opportunity to give him some plays, but we didn't.
