Tonight at 7:30 we have the Raptors paying the New Jersey Nets a visit. The game is on TSN2 (booo), the Fan590 and www.channelsurfing.net. The Raptors have won two straight and look forward to their third straight game against a sub-.500 team. A game against (shudder) former Raptor Vince Carter is always important, and hopefully the Dinos will bring their A-game to continue along their road to .500.
NBA.com preview
W2W4:
- Eric Smith points out that over Andrea Bargnani's last 15 games, he has put up 21.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 37 minutes per game while shooting 49.7% from the field and an even 50% from three. He's been dominant in 2009, and it's getting to be a given that he'll have 15+ and more than three boards - it seems the days of 4 points, 0 boards, 5 fouls and 3 turnovers are gone.
- Anthony Parker, as well, has put up some impressive numbers recently. In his last five games, he's averaged almost 15 points, over 7 assists and 6 rebounds, while shooting 50% from the floor. Jay Triano's plan to have him play point guard with Jose Calderon playing limited minutes has been ingenious.
- Against the Thunder in the Nets' last game, VC15 and Devin Harris combined for just 18 points on 6-of-29 shooting. Hopefully AP and Jose can keep them both in check and off balance.
