Orlando Comes to Toronto

Booing Vince Carter may have to wait for another time; for today's game his status is doubtful after a sprained ankle. The rest of the Magic, however, will take their perfect 2-0 record into Toronto this afternoon for a 1 o clock game. Catch it on CBC, Fan 590, or check ATDHE.net. The Raps are hoping to bounce back after a disappointing performance in Memphis.

- If the first two games have shown us anything, its that defense and hard work are crucial to success. Against the Cavs and against the Grizz, the Raptors were two different teams. Lets hope they get fired up today and come out scoring early.
- The Raps must capitalize on the shorthanded Magic. The Eastern Conference champs are missing b0th VC and Rashard Lewis (suspended for using steroids). This will be the easiest Magic team the Dinos will face.
- The Raptors have to control the defensive boards. Against Memphis, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph combined for 10 offensive boards. Dwight will be crashing the glass hard, so the Raps must respond with tough box outs.
- Speaking of the big man, Toronto will have to try to slow down Howard, who averaged 32.7 points and shot 64.8 percent in his last three games against the Raptors.
