Raptors vs Mavericks Gameday Thread: On the Road Again

December 20, 2013

Sportsnet - 8:30 PM EST

It's Friday night and that means, time for some Toronto Raptors basketball!

The Raps kick off a nice little four-game road trip that should prove to be a very interesting test. First up tonight, the Dallas Mavericks but then things get even tougher with games against the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder. Sure, the club finishes up vs the Knicks but the point here is that by the time this road trip is done, Masai Ujiri may have decided to put part 3 of his "rebuilding plan" into action. (Assuming Parts 1 and 2 were move Andrea Bargnani and Rudy Gay respectively.)

If the club fights to the finish and even wins a few, maybe that staves off any major roster moves.

I've got a feeling that won't be the case though as the Raps despite a winning record post-Rudy Gay, haven't exactly been dominating tough teams.

In any event, I'm on the mic tonight for this one and heeeeeeeeeeere we go...

GO MAVS!
