Spurs by 50
While the city of Toronto is still reeling from the effects of getting bombed by Mr. Linsanity, Half-Man Half-Amasian (hit a 3 at the buzzer to beat the Raps) the Spurs always get played tough in Toronto.
I've been to every Spurs/Raps game since 2004 and I'd say the split is 50-50 when the Spurs try to get the win at the ACC. Bargnani is still injured but the Raps can get hot in a hurry. I also think they're a little better than their record indicates as they only lost by 2 to the Lakers (even beat them last year) and had a hard fought game last night vs NY. Their defense has vastly improved since former Mavs assistant Dwane Casey took over.
Kleiza has been playing well for them lately. However, Calderon is who I'd keep my eye on the most. He had a career high 30 points vs the Lakeshow this past Sunday. The frontline of the Raps includes Amir Johnson and Aaron Gray who have been playing pretty well this year all things considered.
I will try to give a game report/thoughts from the ACC by tomorrow.
Ginobili usually murders the Raps, so while he's still rusty I hope he can bring out the magic
Bonner with a smooth 22.
Jose has been great lately, but still their roster is pathetic, it should be a 15+ win.
I had to go to their website to figure out who was playing for them...wow, that's really a terrible roster. Need to stomp on them early and not let off the gas, so hopefully last night's game taught them something.
At least we can't get Ukic'd.
This will be a tough game IMO. It will go down to the wire.
Spurs 97
Raps 93
I feel like the Spurs will come out with a chip on their shoulders. I'm expecting an easy win. All else fails, just find a way to win like last night.
should be easy win, no excuse for a loss here....
They have actually been playing pretty well. Lost to the Lakers by 2. Beat the Celtics, Lost to Miami by 6 and NY by 3 all in the last week or so
Not sure what you are expecting here but I doubt it's a 20 pt win.
We will win, trust me.
Does anyone know if Pop will sit Timmy tonight??
Don Newman managed to call Tiago Splitter a "lunch pail guy" and a "blue collar guy" in the same sentence. Props. That earns him an A+ in Popovich 101.
Just heard Duncan will start tonight.
air canada almost empty
fck the raptors announcers, calderon is nothing but a scrub who posts up good efficiency numbers that dont equate to wins, cause his busy protecting those efficiency numbers...
Linsanity wiped them out last night. Can't muster the energy to come back again
Raptors announcers are by far the worst in the NBA
I hate them
They had one mic down on the floor doing some pregame comments so they had to hand it off to each other to be heard. Said one of them is broken. Scrub ass announcers...
Especially since Bargnani is hurt.
Heard Kleiza is also out.
aww look at how cute that raptors huddle was...they actually think they are going to win this game.
green attackin early, his playin against bull , he should be exposing and takin advantage of the mismatch
pau gasol killer.
