My prediction: Raptors WIN

And so the streak continues... I never bother making game threads and this is my first. The Eminsecense (sorry mispelled his name) didn't finish his graphics in our win over the Sixers, nor is he around yet. I'm "lucky", so I decided to make the game thread and help the Raps start a streak.

Sticky please.

:clap:

This should be a fun one. It's always fun when we play the Knicks and this is our first meeting this season.

Predictions:
Bosh: 28pts, 14rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks
Curry: 24pts, 4rebounds, 5turnovers
Overall: Raps W

If we lose this game, the boards will be like HELL. With that said, I hope we KILL the Knicks. I want to hear IT get booed.

Edit: Our NDBL euro scrub Calderon will school them.

I hope a group of Raps fans make the trip down to the MSG and if the Raps are blowing out the Knicks, they get the entire Garden to start chanting 'LETS GO RAPTORS'. That would be awesome.

Heh, expecting everyone to go crazy breaking the tradition.

I have a really bad feeling about this game to be perfectly honest with you.

I hope we pull it out, but for some reason I think we're going to lose.

There's no doubt that Curry can score in the paint, and if the Raps allow Jamal Crawford to get hot then look out. All in all, if the Raps don't bring the defensive intensity and get some stops then this board WILL be very ugly tomorrow night.

Lol, well... maybe someone who hasn't done it may be the luck we needed. It's all good and fun, Raps for the win. :nod:

Randolph must be the worst shot blocker int eh history of the league (for bigs that is) i mean he's averaging .1 block per game..... How the **** do you only average.1 Block per game when your 6'9.. You should be able to at least fall ass back wards into .3-.4 blocks per game if your a PF.

This will be a close game similar to the Philly game

Curry is gonna go for 50pts.

lol I didn't notice this, but the Raptors are the only team in the league (probably since the 50's) to have a whole lineup on the court consisting of white guys. HAHA I find that so funny. Thats why I hate our bench. too many white guys
