Sam will most likely get into foul trouble again with Bosh flopping his head and frailing all about, that guy gets more foul calls on acting than any other big man in the league.
I have a funny feeling Philly wins this one though, they don't want to get swept in the season series and it's the 4th game in 5 nights for the Raps.

I think the OP means Raptors not Celtics.
And are you guys actually interested in Amare he'd look great on your team at the PF spot. But you guys will have to give a lot in return to get him maybe even Iggy and Dalembert or Louis Williams which I know you guys love.
Anyways Raps win 12
Final Score- 93-81
GL guys!

Our perimeter players need to step up to beat the Raptors. a 35 point game from Iggy some 3's from Dre Miller and Lou Williams will do it. The Raptors are a true professional basketball team. They just keep executing no matter who they play. When the Sixers go on those scoring droughts the Raps just keep executing and making shots without slowing down. They don't have great players they just execute exceptionally.

Good luck from a Raptors fan.
I really like your team, great hustle players, and they work REALLY well together. I love Iguodala, great player with a great character, not sure if he can be your franchise player in the long-run though, but a great 2nd option on a championship team.
Hope this game is a good one!

Both teams are coming off back-to-backs so there aren't really much excuses for either side. I think it will be a close game but the Raptors will pull away at the end since we execute better down the stretch.
I love your guys team, you think you can hook us up with Dalembert?

I'll enjoy the game regardless of whoever wins. I like both the Sixers and the Raptors.
Edit: editted for grammar. Also to clarify, I've taken on the Sixers as my team while in Philly but, since I'm originally from Toronto, I'll be cheering for the Raptors too. So, it's a win-win for me.

Yeah we can't rebound to save our lives, and we allow too many points in the paint.
If only we had a good young center...
