Big game for us against Miami tonight. Looks like we'll be without Derozan too.

EDIT: Massive win for us last night. Back to the Garden tonight. Not expecting too much though, we're crap on these back to back nights.

Another win for the Raptors. That's 4 straight that we've come back from a deficit of double digits to win the game. Apparently it's tied an NBA record. We seem to have settled on a pattern of having a sloppy 1st quarter and then clawing it back to win. It's not pretty at times but it seems to be effective. Biggest plus point apart from the victory was Turk finally showing why we spent all that money on him. Hopefully the start of things to come from him and the start of a decent run into the playoffs for the Raps.

Maybe a shot at the division title?

It's certainly not out of the question. That's something I didn't think possible at the start of the season. Not getting my hopes up too much. The defeat in Indy on Tuesday certainly brought home how costly an off night can be. But if we can get our injured players back soon and then everybody can stay healthy, who knows?

T-Mac may be on his way to the big apple according to trade rumors. Another rumor is that Wade, LBJ and CB4 all have a secret pact with each other that they will accept less than the max to all play on the same team in New York. if thats the case then thats about 5 titles on the bounce.

Re: NBA Thread 2009 : Thu Feb 11, 2010 8:16 pm  

Isn't Wade from Chicago?I can see him going to play for his hometown Bulls.

Anyone watch the Allstar game? Was pretty decent this year.

Re: NBA Thread 2009 : Fri Feb 19, 2010 9:34 am  

Some great trade action. The Knicks very, very busy. Picking up T-Mac and shedding the contract of Jeffries. Giving us space for 2 max free agents.
The starting 5 will look something like this.

C-Lee- Curry
PF-Harrington- Bender
SF-Chandler- Gallinari
SG-T-Mac- Giddens- Walker
PG- Duhon- Rodriguez- House

Douglas
Cardinal

Hopefully will give us a push to the playoffs.

After a disappointing loss mid-week, the Raptors have to get it done without Bosh tonight. It's the first game he's missed all season. Will be interesting to see how they cope without his 20-10.

I have tickets for Sat night vs Washington. Hopefully he's back for that game. Looking forward to seeing 5 minutes of fury from Reggie.
