Key Match UP


Jose Calderon v. Jameer Nelson

MHC TAKE:

The Raptors got back in the win column last night after a tough and hard fought victory in New Orleans that needed overtime. Toronto will look to continue their recent hot play when they host a familiar foe in the Magic who the Raps have already beaten twice this year. Toronto's win last night marked on the third road win of the season for the club who are looking to continue to improve that number tonight in Orlando. The Magic have dropped their last 4 games while Toronto has now won 6 of its last 7 games. Still more to come.
Lets go RAPTORS!!

[DaoudS]

This is already the third game against the Magic.

[mrker]

Keep it rollin, in Casey we trust

[BALLER R]

Need to win to keep my goal intact. Go 6-2 in the next 8 games including yesterday. At worst 5-3. After those 8 games if we are 15-22 or 14-23 we're in good shape.

[IN-Vince]

Need to go 15-4 until the break we are 1-0 right now that will get us to 24-24 not saying we can do it but ifwe can get somewhere around their then we are in good shape with all the home games (18 in jan and feb combined) we can do it just need to win the next 2 and then make a big trade jose and bargnani for al jefferson possibly

or at least 12-7 that would put us at 21-27. That would actually be pretty good considering how we started the season. We have to win at least 20 games before we lose 30.

[Bob_at_york]

We win this and then we are a lot closer to passing the Magic. I think Pietrus needs to be taken out of the starting line-up. Put Fields back in there. give him a chance to show what he can do.

God no.

[LanceUpperCut]

Lets go Raps. Orlando has been crap lately but us winning back to back road games might be harder then expected.

[Brailleman]

100% agree with Fields back in. The guy really knows what to do on offence and defence without the ball. Just watch him.

[Rego247]

100% agree with Fields back in. The guy really knows what to do on offence and defence without the ball. Just watch him.

Which is why he played 0 mins last night...

[Saddler The Gr8]

100% agree with Fields back in. The guy really knows what to do on offence and defence without the ball. Just watch him.

his 0.9 PER doesn't support that argument

[magikmc]

Game is going to be really tough to win on back to back road games.

[dylanreidchiu]

its gonna be an ugly game tonight, but I hope we can win this, If lowry comes off the bench again tonight, I see us winning

[Saddler The Gr8]

need to win this ****
