Charles Oakley In the house and I can't wait till 7pm to get this party started. Can you get fired for over working? I think not. So let's GO!!! Raps need this game bad. They have 7 of their next 8 on the Road(vs Bulls Nov 11- lone home date). Detroit has no Rip and Prince again tonight but are coming off a win over the same Magic that trashed the Raptors on Sunday afternoon. I AM Excited So let's get this thing going.

Alvin Williams will also be honoured as well tonight 2 of the all-time fav Raps for many.

Raps need to bring it on D and NO 3's!!!

If you have something to say feel free to chime in before the tip. Part of why I kicked this thing off early was to give you folks a chance to have your say so let's hear it.

Must win at game 4 of an 82 game sked seems a bit of a stretch but whatever live right next door to must win is what this game is for the Raptors tonight.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:45:16 PM
Charles Oakley had a lot to say and I would not mind seeing Oakley on the bench as a part of the coaching staff? Who is with me?
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:46:23 PM
D is gonna be a big thing tonight. If Jose keeps getting exposed off the bounce, help D is gonna be huge. Hopefully Oak will inspire!!
by RapsGurl
Amen to that. Charles Oakley as Jeff Van Gundy has said the smartest player he ever coached in reference to Oakley..Not just a tough guy he has brains as well.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:47:43 PM
Weems is out and Banks is in for the Raps tonight...Evans remains sidelined as well but does have the boot off his foot and his return is coming soon hopefully.

wats up ppl
by Ronny006
Ronny you got to bring it this is The Score Baby!!! LOL
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:49:17 PM
Both point guards for the Raps have struggled and Jose and his D is just not good enough.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:50:08 PM
lol...ill keep that in mind
by Ronny006
Please do...I actually know who that is so if people think I am being mean...trust me I am not.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:51:02 PM
by not good enough i think u mean horrible
by Ronny006
See that is more like it!!
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:51:18 PM
Jose Calderon is an expert in last names in the NBA....Because he sees them all going past him.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:51:53 PM
Especially against these kind of guards...he gets burned every time
by RapsGurl
Speedy guards have always caused him problems.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:52:33 PM
ya ya ! first time user for the score! i have a good wifi connection so i can watch both the Raptors and the Suns :)

Welcome we do all kind of sports and NBA is one of my favourites given I write a basketball blog partnered with the score go figure.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:53:24 PM
Dino Nation Blog is the site and I am James Borbath known to some as the Dino Blogger.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:54:07 PM
hes just slow...thats all...pretty sure ill be able to get past him in a game...lol
by Ronny006
Not posting it but yes Neelaa08 that is your best bet.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:54:54 PM
Raptors gonna win tonight!!!
by Firecold
They better or this team is in serious trouble and if you don't believe me go consult your Raptors schedule
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:55:38 PM
Pistons lost in all of the Oakley return have a former Rap in Charlie V and they add another UConn product in Ben Gordon the former Bull
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:56:39 PM
This is a winnable game for sure without Prince and Rip. Mind you, I said that about Orlando without Vince and Lewis
by RapsGurl
Yup that is what I wrote today almost word for word.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:57:13 PM
It's not even the schedule... it's simply losing "again" to a depleted Detroit team while we're mostly healthy.
by Adrian
Although Reggie Evans should have a positive impact on the D. But the issue has been 3's so that is not as much about Reggie.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:58:21 PM
Charlie V worries me....he likes to show up against the Raps
by RapsGurl
Very true Charlie does get Jacked up for the Raps.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:58:42 PM
Deeeettrrooiiittt basketball sucks!
by "Mrs. Flowers" via email
It is not what it use to be that is for sure.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:59:02 PM
if bosh and bargs can produce and get some soft of contribution for the other starters and bench...also jose gotta at least keep his guy in front of him...then they can win
by Ronny006
CB4 despite all of it Chris Bosh has been good.
by James Borbath at 11/4/2009 11:59:47 PM
I'd love to see Jose find his shot too...right now it's MIA
by RapsGurl
Yeah and can we get a little value for that 53 million for Hedo?
by James Borbath at 11/5/2009 12:00:57 AM
In short the Raps have far more questions than they do answers at the moment.
by James Borbath at 11/5/2009 12:01:24 AM
I think if it goes real bad Oakley and Williams need to suit up!!!
by James Borbath at 11/5/2009 12:02:00 AM
It is going to be fun this is my first Raptor game of the year on The Score Live Blogs so I plan on making it a good one.
by James Borbath at 11/5/2009 12:03:08 AM
Raps have to stop commiting so early to the jump shot or it's going to be a long season.
