Toronto vs Orlando Game Thread

[Orealius]

Bosh always goes off against Orlando. Let's see it the Raps can rebound and get a W after a tough loss last night in Miami.

Bosh is averaging 37.5 and 12 against Orlando this season.

I don't expect Bosh to equal those stats because he played quite a bit last night so he's bound to be tired at some point.

Let's hope the Raps finish Orlando off early and get the subs in there. I want Luke Jackson, Pape Sow and Uros Slokar in the lineup at the same time.

Have Uterus Slokar and Pape Sow ever played at the same time before?

The world might explode.

On a more serious note, playing Jackson some tonight is a good idea. Had a good game last night and Orlando's shooting guard position is less than impressive.

[Orealius]

Luke played great in his first game with any significant minutes. I didn't know he had hops until last night

Please give the man Joey's minutes!

It really is funny how basic skills separate one player from another.

Jackson can dribble and shoot. Graham can't do either....well he can hit a 15 ft. open jumper so I'll give him that.

Imagine if all these kids just learned how to dribble a ****ing ball? The league's competitiveness would increase tenfold instantly.

Toronto has no excuse not winning this game.

Well he got more minutes than Joey last night, so here's hoping Sam doesn't backtrack.


And yes saKf, Uros and Pape have played at the same time [once], and it resulted in me fainting on my living room floor.

Uterus and The Pope.

It's like a low-quality slapstick comedy.

tonight we find out just how bad the raptors want home court. i don't think the raps will be tired because they used a lot of their bench last night... even slokar saw a little floor time.

orlando is one of the worst teams in the league since december... a loss for toronto is unacceptable.

Theres no reason the Raps shouldnt win this one. Orlando's just not that good. Howards overrated. They surprised people to start the year. Its like a Pitcher 2nd and 3rd time through the rotation. Teams have learned how to beat Orlando and the Magic havent adjusted or can't.

Also, why sit TJ Ford most of the second half and then bring him in cold to attempt 2 game tying shots in the last couple mins?

[Boogaloo]

The real question for tonite's game is WHY ARE THE MAGICS FAVORED BY 5 pts!! ( dropped to 4.5 now)

5 coins on RAPS Moneyline +170
10 coins on Raps +4.5

Could be a sucker bet, cuz the line dont make sens but I have faith In Sam "One Play" Mitchell, and TJ Jordan.

If Luke Jackson has a good game against the Magic it is pretty much a guarantee that he will make the roster. Since the Magic are pretty weak at SG, I could see another decent game if he's given minutes.

One thing that impressed me about Luke Jackson that may have gone unnoticed, is how good he was at faking his defender out. He would pretend to pass then get by his man for an open shot or a nice pass. I bring this up because since the Magic are so weak at shooting guard, Jackson will have all the opportunities in the world to use this move to get the offense flowing again.

Hmm I gotta question. If Denham Brown isnt on a roster next year do we pick him up?

Noticed the same thing. Pump fakes too. Dude just had a confidence about him that I didn't expect after not playing in the NBA for a while.

Nets need you guys to win this one. Tear em up Bosh

[Pistol Pete]

Uros, The Pape and Luke - The three headed monster!

Expect another Dwight versus Bosh duel, Rasho will handle Dwight, if Dwight goes off, then his teammates will ignore him completely.

Toronto Raptors 102
Orlando Magic 90
