Toronto Raptors @ Charlotte Bobcats 3/2

Tonight is an exciting night! We have a chance to break this losing trend once and for all!

The headlines leading into the game are Chris Bosh's sore knee, and more importantly Raymond FINALLY getting the reins on the team as the starting point guard.

We have injuries on our bench as well, most notably the horrific Crash concussion. If you want to send get well letters to Gerald, see the Bobcats Talk board for details. Gerald is listed to miss a couple more weeks as he recovers. Will he be the same player? Will he abide by Sam "Ham Biscuit" Vincent's request to change his style of play? I can vouch for many people in hoping that response is a stout no.

Tonight our struggle will be the passing from Jose Calderon, as he's rivaled to few for his ability to take care of the ball, and is one of the surprise stories of the year. Bosh, if healthy, will also give us fits as he always gives us fits of rage.

Secondly, will Raymond be able to take over entirely and prove to the world his value as a #5 pick? Toronto has never been kind to him, as he's only shooting 29% against them in his career, and his last game against them he couldn't even hit a shot even if the hoop was the size of a swimming pool.

Tonight I think we pull out the win, led by Felton and Matt Carroll, who will pace the team with 22. J-rich will also have 17 and 7.

Thanks for getting the game thread started Bumpus!

The Bobcats are due for a win (overdue actually). I feel that today will be the day that they put a good game together and win despite the coaching of Hammy.

Not looking too hot right now. We need to start hitting shots.

So far it's all Jose-to-Rasho's. We won't win unless we stop these easy baskets.

Watching Davidson hustle around the court is fun.

At the moment, Jose-to-Rasho's transformed into TJ-to-Kris'. The output is same.

We've erased the 10 point deficit at the end of 1st period. Good effort

Yeah, too bad for Moon's shot, but we're only down by 1 at the half. I like the effort I'm seeing. Jason's pretty awesome.
