@ Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON 7 pm, ET December 8, 2009 Projected Starters J. Flynn C. Brewer D. Wilkins R. Gomes A. Jefferson Key Reserves R. Sessions, K. Love J. Calderon D. Derozan H. Turkoglu C. Bosh A. Bargnani Key Reserves A. Johnson, J. Jack Key Matchup vs. Game Notes Good game to keep the momentum rolling. Wolves are marginally better than the Nets, Raptors should be able to get this one. We haven't lost to Minnesota at home since 2004. Girl of the Game
beat me to it. i love those nights when we bask in our ability to beat the bottom feeders but then the raps hit the floor and ruin the entire thing.
Johnny Flynn is gonna have a career night, Raps are the best at allowing people to have career nights and Flynn can really expose Calderon with his speed.
I was really high on Brewer coming out of college but he seems to be a role player at best in this league. He's a decent defender but I want to see DD attack him and get an idea of what is to come in the future. Wilkins typically shoots well against us IIRC so we'll have to contain his looks. Bosh should annihilate Gomes and Bargnani should stretch Jefferson way out of his comfort zone... should be the kind of night where B&B go for 50 points combined. I don't see a rookie Johnny Flynn making a big difference (kiss of death!).
i love banks, dont really have a basketball reason for loving him but any dude who plays like 42 minutes a year and gets paid 5 million for it is a genius. kobe is probably developing the early stages of arthritis while banks spends his winters with a front row seat to every raptor game and the only ailment he suffers from is watching the raptors attempt to play nba ball.
raps were sloppy all night long. every raptor not named derozan had an off night. and triano not playing amir in favour of rasho didnt help the cause at all. i still cant believe the twolves almost beat us
watched some of the first half, wow the Raptors really tried to give that one away. This team is in trouble if they don't get their act together. It's not like the talent isn't there, but the pieces just do not fit IMO.
Went 2-21 or so from 3 and had to play Marcus Banks. We got the line 48 times. I wonder if we ever got there that much in a week the last few years. Their act is together, they just couldn't shoot tonight, except they won, and was able to hold Minny low as well.
struggling to put away a super-crappy team is not having your act together IMO. Celtics have struggled over the last few weeks to do the same, difference is the C's have also squeaked out wins vs good teams too.
We didn't have our starting Point Guard. Wolves also had just beat the Jazz. This team has it's act together, reference point, the past two games, raping Chicago and beating Washington.
two counter reference points 10-13, 5 game losing streak. put the kool aid down, you're 4 games removed from giving up 146 pts
