The well rested Raptors square off tomorrow night against a Washington Wizards team that will be hungry for revenge. The Raptors beat Agent 0 and his crew 116-111 on January 7th during one of the unpopular 1 p.m. Sunday games in Toronto a couple weeks ago. The Raptors love those games. Opposing teams usually come into Toronto the night before and go out for a night on the town. They have a couple of drinks, spread some bling around and enjoy the “night life” that Toronto offers. In that whirlwind of booze, boobs and bars they forget that they have to play the earliest game of their season the next day. Come 1 p.m., the well rested Raptors are able to take advantage. There is no way that will happen again tomorrow night.
I am predicting Arenas to drop 40 tomorrow night in a loss to the Raptors. Bargnani will have a big come back game after getting over the flu. Unlike some other people who write on this site, I do not think that Anthony Parker is going to break out or amaze anyone. He has the look of Vince Carter in the jump shot days when he refused to go to the net unless the way was wide open. The league doesn’t need another average three point shooter and neither do the Raptors. We need players driving to the hole, getting into the paint and taking some of the inside scoring pressure off Bosh. When Bosh sets up in the high post the defender has to respect his shot. This opens up the middle but nobody goes there. Note to the Raptors: Bosh can PASS. Go to the hole and let him get you the ball. The Pistons have been doing this with Webber and Hamilton and it has given them another weapon.
SUPER BOWL!!! SUPER BOWL!!! SUPER BOWL!!!
Yes this weekend the Bears (If I hear or read DA BEARS one more time I am going to snap!) and the Colts will square off in what should be a very mediocre game. After a set of playoff games like this year, this Super Bowl would have to fit certain criteria in order for it to be a worthy finish.
1. 50 points from each team including at least one safety for either side.
2. Manning gets knocked unconscious by Urlacher at the end of the second quarter, hits the smelling salts and comes back to lead his team of victory.
3. A Quadruple reverse resulting in a fumble at the 1 yard line, a recovery by the defense for a 99 yard run back.
4. Full frontal nudity during the half time show.
Considering the caliber of the playoffs thus far, I don’t think that this is too much to ask. To be honest I haven’t read much about the Super Bowl this year. I am not interested in Chicago at all and if Indy wins then good for Peyton, otherwise, who cares? Bring on the draft, I think the skins actually have a pick in the first 5 round this year!
