Tonight the Raptors fly to New Jersey to take on the game's greatest Raptor killer, Vince Carter, and the New Jersey Nets. The game is at 7:30 and can be viewed on TSN or at channelsurfing.net, and can be heard on the Fan 590. The Nets currently sit 2nd in the Atlantic Division at 11-9, due largely in part to the best scoring tandem in the association, Carter and Devin Harris. In addition, the Nets' Yi Jianlian currently sits 3rd in Eastern Conference forward voting and is above Chris Bosh who is in 4th. Nobody is quite sure why Yi's 11 points per game and 6 rebounds per game are better than Chris' 24.7 and 10.1, but hey, if life didn't have mysteries, no one would have anything to ponder.
What To Watch For:
- For the first time since November 28, the Raptors are going into a game coming off of a win. Lets see if they remember how to ride the momentum after a win.
- The Pacers game saw the return of Jamario Moon to the lineup, and he responded with 17 points and 8 boards. A great way to counterbalance Andrea Bargnani's recent struggles.
- Joey Graham has scored in double digits in his last 5 games, and in 7 out of the last 8. Credit his aggressiveness and explosiveness. Have we mentioned the irony that he has his pilots license?
- Anthony Parker sat out last game with a sprained ankle. Will he play today? In his place last game Jason Kapono started and responded going 11-16 for 25 points and 8 rebounds.
