    Prediction

    - 97
    - 111

    Not being a fairweathered fan, I just don't think we have any answers for one of the best team in the NBA. Dirk's going to be a handful, and even is we have an answer for him we still have Kidd, Marion, Howard and Terry to deal with. I'm not liking our chances tomorrow afternoon.

    I don't see the Raps winning this one. Hopefully, I'm wrong cuz the last few times my predications have come out the opposite. Dallas is a good road team-the best in the NBA if I'm not mistaken. And who can forget the beating Dallas laid on the Raps back in early November. But the Raps are playing a hell of a lot better these days so maybe they can make it a competitive game.

    Even though the dreaded Calderjack combo was not used last night, I'm guessing they will get several minutes for this game considering Dallas often goes with a small lineup of Kidd/Barrea, Barrea/Terry, Kidd/Terry or some similar combination in the back court. I've even seen them use all three on the court at the same time for some stretches.

        Gurkie, your too negative.

        Raptors playing at home coming off a big W, don't see why we can't get this one too.

          Raptors record speaks for itself.

          A solid 1 in 3 shot at beating good teams - better at the ACC, worse on the road.

          Raptors can beat Dallas in Toronto. Doesn't mean they will.
          The best Raptors discussion board is at Raptors Republic.

            You remain optimistic and I'll remain pessimistic. We'll see what happens

                    Dang ... got the start time wrong. Good start by the Raptors, they lead 35-29.

                    I expect the Raptors to lose today. The Mavs just have more quality.

                      Jose Calderon has been playing so much better since coming off the bench

                      It's great to see him taking more of a supporting role + be more aggressive as a penetrator/shooter.

                        Did Matt Devlin just call Dirk "Turkoglu" 2-3 times in the same possession?

                          The Mavericks should go smaller against the Raptors. Use Shawn Marion or James Singleton at power forward to defend one of the Raptors bigs.

                          Eric Dampier doesn't have the required mobility to cover Bosh's face up game or Bargnani's perimeter game.

                            Dallas shouldn't play Drew Gooden against the Raps. He's their worst defender and he can't cover Bosh or Bargnani, particularly not Bosh. Poor team defender too.
