Ok, I'll stick my toe in the water here. Alabi was recalled from the D-League so I suspect we'll see a little of him tonight. Keep monitoring those top-5 draft picks.

It's not a road game.

A win is possible.

Wiz can and probably will win @ Home.. but at this point all Home wins are meaningless until they win at least a single game on the road.

I started to write a rebuttal, but then I remembered that Kriz changes his arguments from week to week. I'll just wait until he contradicts himself and post that then. =P

It won't mean a thing to beat a bad team at Home.

Don't mind me, just passing by.

A gimpy Blatche and a (Likely) not playing Nick Young means our chances of winning aren't particularly good.

Can we just slap a huge Raptors logo on center court and act like it's a road game?

Anyone else catching what's left of this game after the Ravens game?

No win is a meaningless win. Not even that embarrassing win v. the Kings.

Im watching NY and he even looks like a guy who’s playing more minutes and having a bigger role then he’s accustomed to. You can see it in his body language that he’s almost starting to break down mentally & physically.

Dray looked pretty good last game and then ofcourse the injury. Anyways, lets hope he can build off the good and play well tonight. We’ll need it, espically if NY is out or even less then healthy

I was really looking forward to seeing him vs Derozan but I might not want to see it anyways if NY is hurt

The Fax · Post #17 » by **The Fax** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 10:27 pm

Without Blatche, Howard, and Young, what's our lineup going to look like tonight?

Wall/ ?
Heinrich/ Martin?
Lewis/Thornton
Yi/Booker/Lewis
McGee/Yi/Seraphin

I have a feeling we're going to see 42+ Minutes of Wall + Heinrich on the floor together

dlts20 · Post #18 » by **dlts20** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 11:21 pm

Hopefully they play well. Im so sick of us being so mentally weak. Every single time one of our guys has any kind of injury and tries to play through it they always suck. Even our stars like Gil use to suck. You can tell that it would be just as much mental as physical. Like they thought since they were hurt then they didnt try to do much.

Or they settle for long stupid dumb shots. If they are going to play like that then Id rather not even have them out there. Dont try to tell me that you are a warrior by playing through it just to go out there and play half ass and stink up the joint

Yeah, all the best teams always lose to bad teams at home. It's embarrassing to win games like that.

Well, there's really no alternative. I'm more concerned about the frontcourt. Good think Toronto doesn't have great bigs.
