I would assume he should be back for this game especially being four days away from now. I've been a Warriors fan since they traded Chris Webber. Can you imagine how that's like....

I expect Monta to have a Big game I also expect MP to have another Productive game

They have two games between now and Wed, and the Wed game will be the second game of a back to back for the Raptors. That, plus the home court and the way the Ws are playing, and this will be a win.

If Bosh plays, I do expect him to be a factor, but he shouldn't be able to overcome the Warriors playing at home.

Poster Credit: -4	Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 3:05 am Toronto can't defeat anybody without Bosh. They have no inside game when he's out of the lineup, and not enough firepower in the rest of their guys. If he doesn't play, it should be an easy win. If he does play, it gets much tougher, but we should still get the win at home. Dubs by 5 if Bosh plays, by 15 if not. http://WWW.WARRIORSROUNDTABLE.COM

i doubt bosh will play this one..the raptors spot in the playoffs is pretty secure and the last thing he should do is rush back. he'll play if he's 100% ready...maybe even 90%..but anything less im sure he'll sit out again. thing im worried about is TJ Ford. if he plays like he did when we visited toronto then we're in trouble.

either way i say dubs by 7.

Our W's will be coming off of a 3 day Break... Lets hope our Ws don't come out cold ... I loved Barons Intensity last game against Orlando...IF he Brings that winning attitude to the court every game the W's will make the Playoffs.

Dubs by 5 if Bosh plays, by 15 if not.

They're 3 and 6 without him. 30 and 22 with him.

I dont really see that comparison...............I dont get to see the Raptors alot but they average 100.1 points and give up only 96.0 per game, they dont rebound well but they also dont get out-rebounded like we do.

The only reason people say they are like us is because they have alot of 3-point shooters................and again, I dont see many of there games but I dont see any comparison in the way they play at all.

Yea I know.. but the mere fact that they always compare the raptors to us, but never us to them, says a lot about who the better team is... I guess im reachin but just a thought
