John Wall usually looks good against us, while we usually end up winning convincingly.

Both improved teams in somewhat the same tier as far as contenders go, so i'm excited.

I think we'll win a high scoring close game, assuming our bigs are back of course.

TR vs. JW. JayJo vs. PaPi. It'd be nice to have LN patrolling the paint as he is the only shotblocking center. How will DeDe fare defensively versus OPJ? #inquiringmindswanttoknow

This will be the first game that will actually show how good our team is. Got to win this if we want to get at least the 3rd seed in the East.

This will be a close game and sadly the Wizards will pull off the victory :(

This is a tough test for us. We REALLY need Amir/JV healthy here, we're not going to be able to handle their big bodies (Gortat/Nene/Seraphin) and they will blow us out of the water early (and won't let us back into the game like Boston and OKC did).

Wall is playing out of his mind right now, he looks like a superstar on both ends. Please Casey, adjust and start JJ and put JJ on him, he's suitable to stop him, a defensive sieve.

We got the best of 'em during the season series. However, one thing is different, Pierce is a notorious Raptors killer.

Nov 22: Washington loses 96-88

Jan 3: Washington loses 101-88

Feb 18: Was loses 103-93

Feb 27: Was wins 134-129

Don't fool yourselves, we will lose if JV and Amir aren't playing. Their front court is pretty good...

Ross always plays good D against Wall, we will need that from him again. If DD and Lowry go "proveem" mode, this game shouldn't be a problem. If not, chalk it up as a loss.

OPJ-Hilaro-Gortat vs Ross-Patterson-Steimsma doesn't sound very encouraging. Depth-wise, we may be able to wear them down, though.

JJ-Hansbrough-Nogueira should be able to contain Pierce-Humphries-Gooden

The Raps are gonna have to play a lot better than they have the past few games if they wanna win this one. Hopefully JV and/or Amir are back for this one too.

If casey's smart he'll alternate between tross and JJ on wall throughout the game to wear wall down and keep the defenders' legs fresh.


But he won't because he's casey.

statement game, must win

Washington have only beaten Orlando, Knicks, Indiana (injuries, OT), Milwaukee

Raptors have only beaten OKC (injuries), Boston, Orlando, Atlanta

Both teams lost to Miami and none of the teams they've beaten are over 0.500.

Return to Toronto Raptors
