Raps really need this win, especially for their confidence boost. Staying 2nd and being 3-0 vs the top team could be huge.

I had to stop in and say hell of a job with the OP in this thread. I actually lol'd.

This will be a huge game for both sides and I think you will get a better effort from us this time.

GL on all of your games after tomorrow night.

Ross can make up for his poor defensive performances in the last stretch of games and silence his critics by shutting down Korver who is a notorious Raptor Killer. I think this will be a up and down game and it will all come down to stops in the 4th quarter which is an area that the Raptors have struggled since the Denver game.

3 Keys:
1) defend the perimeter
2) limit turnovers
3) long shot, long rebound

Prediction:
Raptors-105
Hawks- 98

Statement game. Time to turn it up.

Hopefully Lowry's defence starts to return to form, he's seemed pretty poor on that end lately.

Thinking DeMar has his first huge game of the season.

This has potential to be a very good game if both teams bring their A-game!

GTFO WITH THAT

Honestly I'm done with the Salmons and Anthony Carter jokes, the curse of Salmons and Hedo has been lifted.

Hawks have the balls to rest their players for a game against us? I like it.
Going out of my way on a Friday night to catch this game, so the team better back me up with some quality play. Leggggooooo!

Vegas still respecting Raptors. -1.5 favorites. Home court is worth ~2points, so Vegas sees ATL slightly better than Raptors.

Ross will get blocked twice from behind by Korver.

Over or under?
