The Raptors are a mess right now. I know alot of their fans wanted Mitchell fired, but I think they'll regret this decision this year atleast. They've played a hard schedule to start the year and lost to teams that are just flat out better than them. Now they're switching up their entire offensive and defensive strategies. I don't know, maybe it will work but I doubt it. I'm sure a fan will come over to tell me how wrong I am, but its just my opinion. Seems like something that should have just waited until after the season.
I wonder if they'll actually let Bargnani guard LeBron in this game. That could be rather comical. They are dangerous though from behind the arc, so just hope they don't bring their A game for a change. Since it's a home game, I'll take the Cavs by 12.

i would usually get mad but you have a point.
We will lose but it wont be a blowout because we dont usually get blown out at home.

Funny a Raptors fan doesn't even pay attention to where his team is playing that night.
LeBron should break the franchise steal record. He is currently tied with Mark Price for the most steals in franchise history (734). Ilgauskas should break the franchise record for rebounds (5,227), which is held by Brad Daugherty; Ilgauskas currently has 5,224 rebounds. It will be great for this to happen at home.

Stay humble, stay focused, play defense and blow them out. If things go wrong we all know their mighty perimeter defense. LeBron alone can beat them down the stretch. We've a back2back away game after this@Philly. So finishing this one early is important.

Lets let Bosh come over to our locker room to get a taste of what winning basketball is, and what could be his.

From the outside looking in, the Raptors main issue is their wing players and lack of pg depth.
Diaw seems like he could be a good fit for them at the 3, and maybe see if they can nab Sergio Rodriguez from the Blazers.

Was hoping to start the GT thread to jinx you guys tomorrow, haha. Hopefully, we'll get to see LeBron play in the 4th quarter.
Yeah, don't do that again.

Does Lebron have to play this game...Delonte West and Mo Williams will be enough to defeat the Raptors. Lebron should take a day off and go enjoy.. no point playing this game

Remember over the summer when Jermaine said he preferred to go to the Raptors because they played "team ball" ??
I'm so glad we didn't trade for him, and went the Mo Williams route instead...
Do the starters play in the 4th quarter ??? I hope not, I want to see some JJ time...

I fail to see why it's impolite or against board regulations for me to start a GT thread here.

The raptors fans on their board would let you believe we will win by 80 tonight.

No, you misread that... They believe LBJ scores 82 and we''ll win by triple digits...
Problem could occur if LBJ sits in the 4th...
Need a healthy dose of this tonight...

Looked at the Raps board, looks like Anthony Parker will be guarding Lebron and Bargs will be on West. Two mismatches for us already.
