Toronto Raptors vs New Orleans Hornets
November 7, 2009
TV: The Score at 8:30 pm
After thrashing the New Orleans Hornets to kick off their 3-game Western Conference swing, the Raptors take on the Dallas Mavericks tonight in what promises to be a much tougher test. The team will need another great performance by Chris Bosh, as well as solid outings from the likes of Bargnani, Turkoglu and Calderon if they want to keep their winning streak alive.
We'll be online as usual to chat during the game so drop by to discuss all things Raps.

My fever’s finally gone, but I’m still sore all over. Two days of fighting a fever non-stop will do that…. Other than that, Looking forward to tonight’s game. I think it’s a winnable game for the Raptors.
If you missed it, Eric Smith reporting that Josh Howard will make his return.
A.I. has now taken a leave for “personal reasons” Yeeesh

sorry to ask one question: On the states have they started to sell televison sets in 16:9? it is frustrating to get HDTV in 4:3…

Well, all new TVs are 16:9, but there’s no requirement other than that it’s a new technology that everyone wants.
Only requirement was to switch to digital signals.

He just looks so much more powerful this year. Usually when you hear of players training in the offseason it’s sort of a “blah, blah, blah” thing…unless you’re talking Jordan, Kobe or Lebron etc.
Not Bosh.

So true. It’s like that joke about “15-20 lbs of muscle” you hear about every player adding… but Bosh has legitimately added it AND it’s elevated his game to a ridiculous level.

Givony?
I loved that guy forever and was pleading with the Raps management to sign him when he didn’t get drafted.

Was talking with some other guys on Twitter… Don’t understand why the Raptors are keeping Jack on the floor when he’s getting always killed by Terry…

And now Humphries will kick us in the nuts, further driving home the point…

Check your boy Tyreke Evans tonight — he’s KILLING Utah… that switch to the 2 guard seems to agree with him.

AAAAAAAAAAH.
Think I left him on the bench of course because he was sucking.
Did that with Przyzbilla and last night he had 13 boards, 6 on O.
Oh well, at least Marcus Banks is playing.

Nope you have him in a Util spot — just checked.
by RaptorsHQ - Defensive Stance on Nov 7, 2009 10:41 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Oh yeah!
I think I swapped him for Swine Flu Magoo after last night’s Przyzbilla travesty.

I’m sorry, but whatever that steal attempt was from O’Bryant was JOKES.

Wow, nice slide tackle, Patrick.. Even in Soccer, that’d be a foul. And a Red Card.

Everytime I look at Patrick O’Bryant, I think “why didn’t we cut you and sign Pops Mensah-Bonsu?”

The Raps...
deserve a red card for this second half and their defense.

I haven’t been very impressed with the Spurs so far so Monday night might be the first close one.
PS – Nets still lost.

It’s like a rollercoaster. Should make for a fun yet frustrating season of ball.

This Dallas team is pretty dirty. I even like Beaubois a ton.

Agree...
Beaubois has game. When he started early in the week he looked fantastic.

Barea and Beaubois hooking up for the sick cross-court pass…

There’s something historically bad about that… Again, paging Iavaroni — where is the D, dude?

Yeah that was immaculate timing.
Well, a few things to close the book:
-Raps have a ways to go, but Dallas is just a much more superiorly talented team. They barely missed an open look in the second half.
-Bargs still needs to be more of a factor inside.
-Monday night should be another good test.
Night all.
