I feel this is a trap game. Lately the raptors have been playing great against great teams home or away, i feel that when they see the Wiz on the schedule they might take them lightly based on the raptors latest success"Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

Nothing they can say now. Mobbin' on the low. Winnin' on the lowThe city embraced me, made me feel at home. The only difference [between Compton and Toronto] for me is the cold. -DeMarNo Where Near the South Side #WeTheNorth

It's like in another gamethread for the Chicago game, some people were worried about Deng coming back. Just like it shouldn't matter who's healthy or not, it shouldn't matter who you're playing in general. Yes you gameplan and prepare for your opponent, but if a team has turned the corner mentally, they should have a consistent approach, and even when they're struggling, find a way to focus and pull out games.
*Worth noting Charlotte could've been viewed as a trap game, and they lost that one in double-OT. Hopefully the lesson was learned there.

They pulled that one out despite the sluggish start they had, which could've been indicative of falling into the trap, but they pulled it out. And you could look at the one at home against NY as a trap game given they got the win against them the night before. Would be easy to get complacent. @Chicago without Rose on New Year's Eve was one, and it looked like they might let it slip away, but they won ugly.

Can't take the Wizards lightly.
Pre-game mental preperation is probably a bigger factor than any on-court individual matchup.
Do they rest on their laurels or do they keep striving to get better?
This is the ultimate test as it is a ho-hum game sandwiched between the top 2 teams in teh east: INdiana and Miami.

And anyways, isn't basically every game a 'trap' game for the best team in the league?
