GT: Raptors vs. Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Wed Dec 26, 2012 1:21 pm

When: 8:30 PM ET, December 26, 2012
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

Starting Lineups:

Raptors:
PG - Jose Calderon
SG - DeMar DeRozan
SF - Mickael Pietrus
PF - Ed Davis
C - Aaron Grey

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Danny Green
SF - Kahwi Leonard
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Tiago Splitter

On paper this looks like an easy win. But the Raptors have won 5 straight coming into this one so we can let our guard down.

Happy holidays everyone and go Spurs!!

I still don't understand why lots of Raptors fan hate Jose Calderon. To me, he looks like a really solid PG. Definitely starting caliber PG in the NBA.

Cause Toronto fans can turn on a dime. I agree with your comment but I think Raptor fans want a current day pg plus they feel Jose is a major liability on defence. I guess they think all PGs that think pass first, can attack the rim, play D, and can shoot grow on trees.

If they want the opposite of Jose Calderon, they have Kyle Lowry. He's basically the complete opposite.
