are the raptors this bad ?

[jdhender]

yes, they SUCK on the road and yes calderon is out. However, perhaps I'm wrong, but how often do teams that actually have some talent get run out of the building in consecutive games? On top of this, we have the Bosh Howard matchup, Bosh is obsessed with being thought of in the same light as D Howard + we have Hedo's return. For some reason I feel these teams tend to play each other tough. Were they perhaps looking past Miami for this matchup?

I'm not ready to pick a side but 11.5 is a lot of points against anybody. I am not seeing much chatter on this matchup - Anyone have any thoughts ?

[18kk]

yes, they are. They have no defense.

[Wilforth]

In road games, they easily "quit" when trailing in the 2H and their defense is less solid than butter. Orlando -11.5 or pass.

this will be the third macthup of the teams this year, and none would have covered this many points. i'd actually take the points.

i could see this being a close game.

I guess they are?Who knows? I thought they were catching plenty of points last nite as I lost taking them against the putrid Miami Heat at home where Miami is actaully a worse team this year. Rather they were looking forward to tonite are not there is no excuse to get blown out to the Miami Heat at this stage in the game.

i can see this game covering thru the back door--prob a 10 point win for orlando
