Raptors @ T'Wolves Please post about this game here!! GO RAPTORS!! VC prediction: 32 pts, 4 rebounds, 3 assists
My predictions: Vince 24pts, Lamond 12pts, AD and JYD 10+ rbs each. Raps lose by a large margin: 102-88 (around)
I think the Raptors have a legitimate shot at going 3-0 to start the season. The Wolves seem to be struggling right now and they are not very cohesive yet because of all the injuries and player additions. So I think the Raps will win this in another low scoring affair.
VC needs to be more versatile and weigh his options more. The game is not about just scoring its about rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. VC is too one-dimensional and its hurting the Raptors. Coming out of a game with a triple-double says more then a 50-point game could ever say.

Vince is very versatile, hes doing everything he can to get this team going, and if other players are doing their job, he shouldn't be the one getting all the rebounds and assists. ---------------------------------------------- DISGUSTING raps lose 71-56 Franchise low of 56 pts in this game. Timberwolves played exellent defence, and the Raptors were just FLAT this game, they had no confidence in their offence, and made really stupid decisions. Vince was benched for most of the 4th quarter because the team was sucking so much they basically just gave up, so thats why he only had 15pts. They're making dumb decisions on the offensive end, they really need to pick it up if they want to even come close to beating Dallas on thursday.
Both teams didnt do great, I was suprised on how Gary Trent had some nice moves and Olowakandi was great in the post. Vince didnt do as great as his other games, but he was playing inconsistand minutes in the fourth.
^yeah he got benched because our crappy supporting cast couldn't do anything. The wolves played excellent defence. We need a point guard, desparatley, we can't go a whole season with a hurt Alvin, and a crappy Palacio.
Palacio is actually real good for being a player that was undrafted. I didnt expected him to be this good but your right we do need a Point Guard. We should give up one of our SF's.
I would give up Mo for a decent PG anyday, someone like Chucky Atkins or something like that. Palacio isn't good enough to play that many minutes, and we need to wait untill Alvin recovers, because right now hes hurting the team by playing injured.

Terrible shooting percentage for the Raptors, partley due to the great D on the Wolves part. But what another ugly low scoring game... Maybe 1 day both teams will score about 70
