I'm leaving for the game now. I've got six tickets I bought in October when this was just another meaningless January game. Now its the hottest ticket in Toronto. Who knew?

CoD till the game.

Raps need this game badly. Everybody needs to step up and play tonight.

imo the key to winning this game will be controlling our turnovers. The Hawks are a deep team with a ton of scorers. They'll make us pay if we give them extra possessions.

They force a lot of steals too.

Something to think about while waiting for the game to start? Raps interested in Thad Young?

Why this young veteran is even on the sad sack Wolves is something of a mystery, but the rumors of potential interest from Toronto shouldn’t be. The Raptors know this former Sixers forward well and he might just be the fix they are looking for to shore up their lineup.

At 31-8, The hawks have lost a quarter of their games to Toronto.. Let's make it one third.

Or change your ip to a US ip, launch league pass/game then close the ip software, it used to work for league pass, not sure now. If you keep the ip software open, your connection might be too slow to stream the game smoothly.

IP software ex: ultra surf.. but there are tons, and most are free to use.

Thad Young isnt bad but I don't see where he fits into our....random assortment of players..

We've beaten them twice already I believe... so we got this. They are due for a loss, and that loss comes tonight against us.

27 - 12 8-)

Just freaking take care of the ball to have a better chance to win, Ross will have to guard Teague effectively tonight because Lowry isn't going to do much on him defensively. I expect Horford to be a tough matchup for JV because he's smaller and can knock down that midrange jumper.

3 keys to victory

- Take care of the damn ball
- Defensive rotations, ATL moves the ball a lot
- The 3 ball, defend it because ATL can get real hot from there and knock that sh*t down, I'm looking at you PPat
