Tune in at 8:10 pm ET as the Raptors take on the Spurs in San Antonio. James Borbath from Dino Nation Blog will be liveblogging for your enjoyment.
Also this game is on The Score for those who want to watch the game as they take part in the live blog. See you all at 8:10 for the Live Blog Pre-Game
Game Note-Raptors are 7-19 all time vs the Spurs. They did however win last season in S.A 83-73 but are 4-9 all time @ the Spurs
Jermaine O'Neal who left game with injury to his shoulder last night vs OKC will play tonight and likely start.
Ok so welcome to the pre-game for the live blog. Just a reminder keep language to a PG-13 level in your comments
Feel free to comment up to the game tip
During the action the focus is going to be on the game.
I think Hope is a key word
For the record the Spurs come into this game on a 2 game losing streak
I think that is the right way to look at this one to start frank
Spurs lost to Magic and Hornets and are 15-10 as we head into tonight
Meanwhile unless you have been under a rock the Raptors have lost 4 straight
Um not me W and L that is what it is all about
Not much of a crowd yet. I hope nobody did anything to terrible after last night's loss
No doubt it will be tough as the Spurs losing 3 in a row is a rare event
we are 8 minutes from game time and it is on The Score. Not on the 2 network
I hope some people show up both on the floor and for this blog. After last night it is tough to watch i know
My concern is Tony Parker and Jose guarding if if Triano goes that route
But I have always worried about the OLE defense styles of Jose
J.O is confirmed in the starting line up
Ok ready or not here we go
By the way Leo Rautins if he does not look good the airline lost his bags
So can the Raptors rebound we are getting set to find out
we are on the air live on The Score
CB4 rocking a questionable check shirt
but let's just hope he can get it done with that # 4 jersey on
A.P is talking about the mood of the team
He says everyone still believes
I am just wondering if the fans do after last night
Joey Graham is getting so T.V Time as Chris Bosh likes to say
some Andrea Bargnani talk
Tim Ducan may be boring but he is averaging 21 and 10
For those who did not know the Raptors have two former players on the Spurs roster
Matt Bonner which I am sure you knew and Roger "Raptor Killer" Mason Jr.
So we are almost set to tip it up in the S.A the home of HBK for all you wrestling fans
As I posted prior to getting started Raptors had a 10 point win on this floor last year
