At 1:00 today, the Raptors will play the Bobcats. The game is available to watch on CBC. The Bobcats are 1 game into a 6 game homestand. Last game they defeated the New Orleans Hornets 92-89. On the Raptors side, they have dropped 2 straight games and look to bounce back from a blowout in Atlanta.
What to watch for:
- Larry Brown became coach of the Bobcats in the offseason. This is the Raptors first look at Brown's Bobcats.
- Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace, Matt Carroll, Adam Morrison, and Jared Dudley can all put the ball in the basket. Look for the Bobcats to spread the floor with their ability to penetrate and shoot.
- Jason Kapono may replace Jamario Moon in the starting lineup today. Kapono had 14 points on Friday, while Moon has had some struggles in the season's beginning. Sophmore slump?
- The Raptors have been outrebounded in every game thus far, and keeping Emeka Okafor off the glass will be no easy feat. Hopefully Sam Mitchell will have ran some rebounding drills in Saturday's practice.
The Raptors, who started the season at a powerful 3-0, have now fallen to 3-2. This game could make the statement that, either the Raptors can bounce back and are a contender, or they are simply a .500 ball club. Hopefully it will not be the latter.
