Jermaine O'Neal who left game with injury to his shoulder last night vs OKC will play tonight and likely start.

Hope raps win!!
by Bassam Jamil
I think Hope is a key word
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:14:30 AM
For the record the Spurs come into this game on a 2 game losing streak
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:15:55 AM
I just hope they keep it close
by Frank Anetzberger
I think that is the right way to look at this one to start frank
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:16:30 AM
Spurs lost to Magic and Hornets and are 15-10 as we head into tonight
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:17:23 AM
Meanwhile unless you have been under a rock the Raptors have lost 4 straight
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:17:58 AM
If we can outrebound them and somehow not win, I will still be satisfied
by Frank Anetzberger
Um not me W and L that is what it is all about
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:19:58 AM
Not much of a crowd yet. I hope nobody did anything to terrible after last night's loss
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:21:04 AM
Yeah unfortunetly after last night, I dont think a win is do-able, however I would like them to get a win, but to get back on track them need to take small steps
by Frank Anetzberger
No doubt it will be tough as the Spurs losing 3 in a row is a rare event
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:21:48 AM
we are 8 minutes from game time and it is on The Score. Not on the 2 network
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:23:02 AM
basketball is # 1 for me
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:23:42 AM
I hope some people show up both on the floor and for this blog. After last night it is tough to watch i know
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:25:58 AM
If the Raps hold Duncan under 20 Points and under 10 rebounds, we have a shot
by Frank Anetzberger
My concern is Tony Parker and Jose guarding if if Triano goes that route
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:26:44 AM
But I have always worried about the OLE defense styles of Jose
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:28:05 AM
J.O is confirmed in the starting line up
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:28:28 AM
yeah, thats something to keep an eye on
by Frank Anetzberger
Ok ready or not here we go
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:29:27 AM
By the way Leo Rautins if he does not look good the airline lost his bags
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:30:03 AM
So can the Raptors rebound we are getting set to find out
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:30:45 AM

by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:31:38 AM
CB4 rocking a questionable check shirt
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:32:16 AM

by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:32:55 AM
A.P is talking about the mood of the team
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:33:27 AM
He says everyone still believes
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:33:41 AM
I am just wondering if the fans do after last night
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:33:58 AM
Joey Graham is getting so T.V Time as Chris Bosh likes to say
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:34:27 AM
some Andrea Bargnani talk
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:35:00 AM
Tim Ducan may be boring but he is averaging 21 and 10
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:35:28 AM
For those who did not know the Raptors have two former players on the Spurs roster
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:36:03 AM
Matt Bonner which I am sure you knew and Roger "Raptor Killer" Mason Jr.
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:36:33 AM
So we are almost set to tip it up in the S.A the home of HBK for all you wrestling fans
by James Borbath at 12/21/2008 1:37:25 AM
As I posted prior to getting started Raptors had a 10 point win on this floor last year
