Raptors Discussion: v47|#WeTheNorth | Who knew DeMar was so crucial to the defence? (avatars: post #1)

So what's the excuse for the Clippers? It seems like every time the Raps take down a good team, people always seem to make excuses for that team to discredit the Raps.

It was a letdown game after the huge game christmas day vs the Warriors

Alot this season will depend on Rose's health. If he is healthy come playoff time the Bulls are clearly the best team in the East. If he isnt I'd say its totally up for grabs and any of 3-4 teams could win it.

Sucks because I'm a raptors fan but I'd actually like to see Rose return to form.

#1- **** Rose! and **** Chicago

#2 - Yesterday's win should shut anyone up who has been talking down this team and saying they've only beaten weak teams. The Raptors are a legit contender accept it and get on board.

#3- Now 10-4 without DD

#4-Lowry killed CP3 yesterday and IMO is a top 3-4 PG in the league, deserves MVP votes

The Raptors aim for a second win in as many nights on their current Western Conference road trip when they visit the Nuggets in Denver tonight (9 PM ET, Sportsnet, Sportsnet 590 The FAN).

Projected Starting Lineups

Raptors: Kyle Lowry (G), Terrence Ross (F), James Johnson (F), Amir Johnson (F), Jonas Valanciunas (C)

Nuggets: Ty Lawson (G), Aaron Afflalo(G), Wilson Chandler (F), Kenneth Faried (F), Timofey Mozgov (C)

Injury/Roster Report

Raptors: Landry Fields - concussion (questionable), DeMar DeRozan - torn left adductor longus tendon (out)

Nuggets Darrell Arthur – left peroneals muscle strain (probable), Danilo Gallinari – right knee meniscal tear (out), Javale McGee - left lower leg strain (out), Randy Foye – right vastus lateralis strain (out)

NEED TO KNOW

One to watch is Denver forward Kenneth Faried, who put up a 26-point, 25-rebound gem against Minnesota on Friday. . . . The Nuggets are generally one of the best home-court teams in the league, thanks to the city’s altitude and thin air, and are 10-6 at the Pepsi Center this season. . . . Landry Fields will undergo another test Sunday as part of the NBA’s concussion protocol before it’s determined whether he can return to action.

Just sign Okafor if we need big man depth
