Why are Raptor fans acting super cocky. Last time I checked having a 3 game lead is nothing to brag about. They act like they have a 10 game difference between the Wizards.

pine - I thought it was a Rascal? Did he get an upgrade? :lol:

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

The Raptors are 25-13 since the Rudy Gay trade. The Raptors have been playing closer to the Heat/Pacer's level than the Wizards level.

On the other hand, the Wizards look like a better team since the Andre Miller trade. For the first time in a long time, the Wizards have a reliable backup point guard that can actually help the Wizards get leads instead falling behind. Plus the Wizards are a better team on the road.

What he said is correct, neither team is relevant in the big picture of the NBA this season. If Miami or Indiana lost to TOR/WAS it would be a story. If TOR/WAS lose to each other it isn't a story.

I think he has too. Seraphin and Nene are out. Vesely was traded and Booker is gimpy. Three man rotation at the 4 and 5 with Gortat, Booker and Gooden. Possibly Ariza playing some 4 as well?

Ah I did forget about him. Either way, Gooden will see some time off the bench.

...and what's with the number of Raptor trolls on this board? :roll:

Did they forget this is a Wizards forum? When visiting someone's house, be respectful. Don't come over here, talk smack and expect Wizards fans to show any respect.

And please, keep the discussion to hoops. You would be hard pressed to find many in the DMV who care about curling or Rob Ford.

I thought it was because people were admiring Pine's change in avatars.

Toronto's got some players I admire - Lowry in particular, Jonny V, Amir Johnson, and Patterson. They were much easier to beat when the had Rudy Gay - someone to take 30 shots in order to score 20 points.

Against the Magic it was a 4-man rotation of Gortat, Booker, Harrington & Singleton.

Doesn't look like Witt has any real interest in going small.

Maybe you'll see Gooden take Singleton's minutes.

When he plays the fake Singleton at the 4, he goes small AND suck.

I have XFINITY and CSN+ is listed as TCN. You can try searching for it if it helps.
