Players To Watch <u>Ray Allen</u> / <u>Vince Carter</u> Keys To The Game <font color="green">Seattle SuperSonics</font> -Transition Defense. The fast break might have slowed down for the Raptors, but they are back in Toronto again in front of the home crowd, so Seattle better get ready to run. They have to stay with the Raps stride for stride -Shot selection. The Sonics can't just come down, take a 3 with 17 seconds on the clock, and keep shooting all night long. They got to be smart with their shots, and mix it up inside also. <font color="Purple">Toronto Raptors</font> -Go inside. Bosh had a pretty good game last friday beating the Sonics frontcourt with his quickness, and Loren Woods should be able to get a few points in the paint too. -Perimeter Defense. This is the one thing that all Sonics opponents have to take into consideration. Mo Pete did an excellent job last time guarding Ray Allen, and I wouldn't be surprised if he guarded Allen down the stretch. Everyone on the perimeter has to step it up tonight. Prediction Well I just made a quick thread for you guys to discuss, didn't have time to make a fully analyzed preview, 'cause it's friday night, and I'm heading out. Have fun. BTW, Raps by 7.
i think its cause he doesnt want to be traded to portland hes tring to show toronto i can give them 20 a nite but this is coming from a guy whio doesnt want to see him traded
I LUV the Red Rocket! Dont u guys???? he is a great player. and vince, everytime he gets booed he wants to show up the fans. like when he took that 3, jalen and rafer were wide open. play good ball vince, but not one man show basketball. i hope bosh comes up big in the 2nd half. that blcok from moiso was sick!!!
Raps lose: 101-94, they let this one get away in the 4th with a shaky start...Too many turovers via offensive fouls and dumb giveaways. Vince Carters last game as a Rap? He had a pretty solid game 21 points on 7-14 shooting. Got to the line 8 times, made 6 FT's. Didn't get the ball enough IMO. Rafer was not himself today with 4 TO's, though he did dish out 7 and drop 20.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MaxaMillion711:</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah. Hopefully Vince will go to Portland...he would be a good fit there playin with Randolph.</div> Yeah its time for some change. Vince is just not the same anymore in a raps uniform, we need some new blood. Good game for Matt Bonner, nice one hand put back
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting thedude9990:</div><div class="quote_post">red roket?</div> red rocket = matt bonner...aka ttc
I really don't understand why you guys want Carter gone. Today they lost, but Carter played really well, now if only he can play like this every game. remember he is only averaging around 31 mpg and he doesn't get as much touches and shots as he should be. I really hope Carter stays, if he doesn't this'll be like vancouver all over again. another loss. question: why didn't the raptors play the defense they played in the last 2 minutes??
man, i keep forgetting to put stuff in lol. vince also had a great game with all his drives and that dunk was just SICK, did u see how much airtime and the distance and how high he was on that? jalen rose just sucks, i say we bench him until he learns to stop jackin up shots.
