Spynz, since you're close to the action, help us all out by sitting close to the sidelines and booing Bosh loudly when he passes close by. If you can't sit close, bring a big banner that's sure to catch TV cameras' attention. Just write: "B-O-O!"

I bet this team last night... Honestly, just stay away right now from the Raptors. They are probably due to bounce back at any moment.

Yea ok, I guess the Raps deserve that.  But I still don't think they are as bad as you all say.  Granted the expectations were high but lets face it everyone was wrong.  If anyone is gonna come out and say at the beginning of the season you thought Toronto would be a couple of games away from the 2nd last spot in the East then you are a liar.  All Raps need is a trade to shake things up.  Bosh is not as bad as you guys are stating, he is one of the best PF's in the game today.  He might not be that dominant Time Duncan or KG type player that we thought he was but he is a damn good big.  All Colangelo needs to do is admit he was wrong and try something new...with that being said...no way Toronto wins today fellas.  Jose looked injured, Bosh looks pissed, Bargnani doesn't look the same.  Kapono is just garbage straight up, so is Moon.  Graham is too inconsistent as is Parker.  But on any given night, these basterds can play their asses off so be carefull when going against them.  But as for the Lakers, I don't think you should worry tonight.

KOBE is in a record-breaking mood again.

what better way to follow a 61 pt performance in Madison Square Garden?

beating his 81pts record against Toronto.

Watch as kobe scores 83 pts tonight!

Biggest problem for Craptors, no good wing player.  Passed on Iggy.. Granger, twice!!!  But I digress.  Be careful of the Lakers tonight tho, they might be looking ahead to that showdown with the Celtics tomorrow night on TNT.  Stay away from this game IMHO.

coming from makaveli, a longtime Raps fan, you guys gotta listen. This fella probably knows more about the Raptors than any of us in this thread do.  Take LAL and thank him later.

I put large money at the beginning of the season on Raps missing the playoffs, and the Hawks finishing higher than the Raps.

Toronto fans are misguided and something about this city thinks that bringing in old injury prone players helps their teams whether it be the Raps or the Leafs.

Any team with Jamario Moon as a starter can't be a quality BBALL team.

I'm just saying how it is......people are suckerin themselves in like yesterday v.s. Cleveland....we heard "I don't know I have a weird feeling raptors get it done" and "Today is the day because they are due" against Cleveland????????? I agree they are due for a win or maybe even a streak but not against quality teams like Cleveland or Lakers....Kobe coming in with some serious motivation that's just scary and makes the others on the team just step up.....The fans in Toronto have gave up especially with all the rumors of Bosh leaving (I think it might even be official coming from his own mouth not 100%).....Lakers by 10+

The Raps have no shot at competing with the Lakers, do people actually think that Parker or Moon can stop Kobe? Besides Bosh and maybe JO, the Raps are just a bunch of talentless players that try really hard. While trying hard can grab you wins against teams like NJ or Washington, they''ll get blown out against the talented teams just like they did in Cleveland.
 
Won 2 units on Cleveland last night, throwing those units on LAL tonight. Gonna see if I can get some tickets and go watch the Kobe show live.

Off the bat I don't believe you really thought that placing a wager on the Raps missing the playoffs was a sure bet by any means.  If you did and your from Ontario or T.Dot you disgust me :) Actually it's a pretty bad bet to place a wager on an eastern team not making the playoffs cause anyone can make the playoffs in the east.  Raps still have a chance so your bet kinda sucks but you may hit this season.

Your hawks bet was excellent, wish I have props like that the bet on.  Your comment on raps fans being miss-guided is spot on except your Leafs reference.  Mak no like hockey references especially leafs when we are talking Raps cause I get enuff of that in this god damn city.

Your Jamario Moon comment is perfect.  I totally agree, I think he can help a lot of teams in the NBA, just get him the fuck off the Raptors for the love of god.  No more Solloman, Moon and Kapono, package em for fuckin something!! Anything, Moon and Kapono are decent players with good attributes and specialties. I just can't stand em anymore.

They beat a quality Orlando team at home when Orlando was playing awesome, it came out of nowhere so it's very dangerous to place money against Raps against good teams but more often then not you are right they will fall to top tier teams. 

Your Bosh comment is way off, take it from someone who heard all about this Stephen A Smith fiasco.  Bosh never said it from his mouth never, not to Colangelo, not to Smith, not to Jalen Rose, no one.  But who gives a fuck that is in 2010, I am tired of hearing about it.  We got over 120 games to go.  In the NBA that is an eternity, anything can happen.

Moon would be a practice player on a quality team - edging somewhere toward 10th to 12th off the bench in a blowout.  Relying on him as a starter speaks to how dire the situation is for the Raptors concerning their wings.
