T-Mac and the Rockets Hit Toronto

The Raptors hope to start off the new year with a win against the Houston Rockets. The game is at 7:00, and is on TSN 2, but regular people can watch it on channelsurfing.net or listen on the Fan 590.

What to Watch For:
- Yao and McGrady are not friendly faces for Toronto fans. Together, they average 48 points per game against the Raptors. Hopefully one of the new years resolutions of the Raptors was to start playing some defense.
- The Rockets are in one of the toughest divisions in the league, the Southwest. They sit third in their division at 20-12. They know the importance of every win and will come out with intensity. Hopefully the Raptors will match theirs.
- No word yet on whether Jermaine O'Neal and Jason Kapono will play or not.
- The Rockets are in a rut of their own. They have been held to 92.2 points per game and 39.8 percent shooting over its last five contests.
