    The Raptors are (I think without fact checking here) 9-2 against the West..they are legit and well coached

    Portland F LaMarcus Aldridge (upper respiratory illness) is PROBABLE; F/C Meyers Leonard (left shoulder strain) and C Robin Lopez (right hand fracture) are OUT tonight vs. Toronto.

    It'll be (probably) good to have LaMarcus (probably) back.

    As for Meyers... riverman said it best in my sig!

    Sounds like LA is now likely to play

    Sweet! Very glad to hear LMA is probable. Having him with Kaman as a reserve will help so much. Meyers is out; I'm hoping TRob gets a DNP unless its a blowout. I'd rather see us go small with Wright/Clavier/Nic at the 4 when Aldridge sits. Freeland can play a few minutes at the 4 with Kaman. But to do that Joel needs to stay out of foul trouble.

    Anyone else think its odd LaMarcus always plays the entire first and third quarters? I know he's done it much of his career. But now he's almost 30. He often performs his best early in games and defers to teammates in the 4th quarter. I think most of us assume he's not a clutch player so thats why others take over in the 4th but could fatigue be a factor? Back when we had Roy; LaMarcus had a role of being the primary offensive option at the end of the 1st and 3rd but with Kaman as an offensive option and all the shooting we have the team could go in a number of different directions.

    Toronto's logo might just be this:

    More like the Hawks than Nets.

    The images put out to the media were teasers.

    I like their new logo a lot.

    EDIT: But the slogan is idiotic.

    This game scares me a little. If we can come out and establish our game early, I'll have more confidence. I just hope we don't get into some running match with these young players

    This game scares me a lot. Toronto and Atlanta are the best the East has to offer, and I feel a bit exposed without Rolo.

    Mags had a stat that said LaMarcus is the best clutch player in the league.

    Yeah, not sure why you'd have an idea that LA isn't a clutch player - we've ridden that horse late in games time and again with great success.

    The only reason I like their new logo is their old one sucked HARD.

    And, congratulations to the Toronto Johnsons for having the worst neck tattoos EVER.

    Looks like a few people made it but not the turnout the thread starter was hoping for. Tough time of the year to make a trip.
