Prediction

http://raptorsforum.com/f/images/icons/TOR%20Small.png - 110
http://www.ebsports.net/eze/team/LAC%20Small.png - 105

So, what do you guys think regarding tonight's match-up versus LAC? No official word on Hedo as of yet or at least I haven't heard anything official and Gordon remains out of the line-up for the Clippers tonight too.

What are your predictions for tonight guys? :confused:

Possible roster update for tonight. Kaman has an apparent virus and might be a game time decision on whether or not he'll play. :)

This is a really great thread man, great work.

Prediction: 104-94 Raps. Turk with a big game.

Thanks Arse .... I was hoping to find a better banner for the top of it, but doing a Google search on "Raptors Republic Logo" only came up with a few options. :(

I'll tweak the game threads while adding some more stuff down the road. :)

Turkoglu looks like a game time decision as well.

Cheers Tom .... apparently it sounds more and more like Kaman will be out tonight too.

Random guess: Calderon lights it up tonight :)

Hedo's a go according to Devlin. So is Kaman too. :(

Hey Arse, I can't get in the chat at RR. I open the windows but see a blank grey screen. What do you think is wrong..

Ah, ugly start.

Ugh ... thank god Hedo's out. His laboring out there was going to kill us tonight. Take the night off and rest.

Fear the beard tonight. Davis is on fire. Jose still horrible on defense. Don't know why I should be surprised though. :(

17-34, oh man..

Yup ... tonight could perhaps be one of those nights TF. :(

The guys look tired; they're shots look flat and no ones helping on defense. :mad:

Why don`t we try on defense. I don`t understand.. I mean, if they tried half as hard on defense as they do on on offense, our situation would be much easier to deal with.

I think they have a phobia of playing physical. :(

Man, real BS calls by these referees. The game looks very distant and unwinnable.

I don't know. We're slowly waking up now. I'm hoping Amir's energy is contagious. Looking good so far.

Kaman is playing like KG in the post. Maybe its our D or is he really that good...

Getting back in it. Cant lose our focus right now.
