GT: Raptors vs. Spurs

Post #1 » by **Nolan** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 5:00 pm

When: 8:30 PM ET, January 19, 2011
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

VS

Starting Lineups:

Raptors:
PG - Jose Calderon
SG - DeMar DeRozan
SF - Linas Kleiza
PF - Amir Johnson
C - Andrea Bargnani

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobli
SF - Richard Jefferson
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Dejuan Blair

Next up the injury riddled Raptors who've lost 4 straight games coming into this one. This should be a easy game, all we really need to do is come out aggressively and bury them early and this should be easy win and a good chance to give our vets some rest.

The Raptors will be without Leandro Barbosa, Sonny Weems, and Reggie Evans and Linas Kleiza and Jerryd Bayless are both questionable.

Still no word yet on wether the Red Rocket will be back for this one. He missed practice on monday and is still listed as day-to-day.

Go Spurs!!

I'm betting on you guys to win the championship this year.

That's a wise investment.

Hope that Bargnani doesn't have a Dirk-type of game against us.
Should be a easy win for us..

Looking forward for our revenge against the Knicks on Friday..

Raps fan here.

This game is going to get ugly in a hurry.
My predictions:
1st Quarter: SA leads 42-23
final score: 129-92

highs:
PTS: Manu, 32
REB: Blair, 21
AST: Hill, 14
3s: Neal, 8

Owens: 15pts/7reb/3ast/5 threes

Good Luck.

Well it's should be easy one for us. Gotta watch Bargnani keep close. In other aspects it's sure game. Hope our vets will get some rest here.
Waiting for the Knicks cause it's revenge time...

Don't sleep on the Raptors, they have the greatest fan presence on RGM and you know that's got to count for something.

This should be easy.

SAS Vs LAL West Finals! No kidding, unless /knock on wood/ there is not major injuries to either club.

Sleep on us. Trust me.

This game is over before it even starts. Not only are we worse than you with all our guys healthy, but it doesn't help (us) that we have so many injuries.

We can't lose to someone named Andrea.

I hate when teams say this should be an easy win. Anything can happen on any given night. We beat the Magic and Mavs on the road, as well as give the Lakers and Heat a tough game. What I like about this years Raptors is they don't give up.

And we're under way.

We're off to a good start.

Post #13 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 1:45 am

We are killing them in the paint. Up 10-0.

Post #14 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 1:50 am

Manu is killing them on both ends.

Post #15 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 1:59 am

Well Toronto's keeping it close too close. We to turn it up.

Post #16 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:02 am

The Raptors are on a 19-7 run right now and leading the game...

Post #17 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:09 am

End of the first and we're down 23-22. Horrible first quarter, our defense was awful, the offense was stagnent and we played with zero energy.

Post #18 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:13 am

Not a good start to the 2nd quarter either...

Post #19 » by **Nolan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:16 am

Manu with two straight scores, we need him to heat up right now.

I have to say I really like this Ed Davis kid. He reminds me of Jermaine O'Neal.
