Brown </font></div> The Raptors are coming off a disappointing loss in Philadelphia, their 18th loss on the road, and should be looking forward to the home cooking against the worst team in the NBA. Raps cannot, I emphasize, they cannot take this game for granted however, as that may result in a home loss, something that Raps cannot afford to have at this stage of the season. <font color="Red">Interesting Matchups:</font> <div align="center">Chris Bosh vs. Rodney Rogers </div> Bosh should look to score on Rogers everytime he touches the ball. Rodney cannot match Bosh's quickness and he's 4 inches shorter. On the defensive end, Bosh needs to step out and make sure that every shot Rogers takes is a contested one, because this guy can light it up from beyond the arc. <font size="3"><font color="Blue">The X-Factor:</font></font> <div align="center"><font color="Red">BOSH SCORES 20+</font> </div> Something that Raps failed to do Friday night against the Sixers. It's not a coincidence that the Raps are 8-0 when Bosh scores 20 or more points, it's an obvious fact that should encourage the ball handlers to give the ball to Bosh. Rafer needs to find Bosh early in the game and continue to go to him throughout the game, instead of jacking up contested threes or giving the ball to Rose when he's on the perimeter.
