Next chapter in the Raptors-Magic rivalry
The Magic came into town on November 1 without the services of Carter, Petrieus and Lewis and beat the Raptors easily. The game was memorable for its altercation between good friends, Bosh and Howard. Both players dismissed the event as a misunderstanding. This afternoon’s game should be another good opportunity for Bosh to show his improved toughness.
The only player who won’t be able to go today for the Magic is Jameer Nelson who had knee surgery this week and will be out for at least a month. The Raptors have Bargnani battling flu symptoms, Belinelli with a sore groin and Wright with an ankle sprain. Bargnani and Belinelli are both listed as day-to-day but I think they’ll play. Bargnani will go but Belinelli is out.

A tale of two losing streaks
The Miami Heat have started the season better than most expected with a record of 7-4 losing their last two games played. Some of that can be attributed to the schedule with the Heat playing 8 of their first 11 games at home. However with Wade’s strong play, most assume this team will be in the playoff hunt all year.
Contrast that with the Raptors who have played 8 of their first 12 on the road losing their last three games played. You could argue that Bosh is playing at the same level, if not better, as Dwayne Wade. But most people think this team will struggle to maintain a .500 record.
The question is whether either record really represents their respective team’s ability.

Deron back with Jazz in time to face Raps
Tonight’s game represents the 2nd of 19 back-to-back games this season. That’s alot of games to play with little time to rest. If the Raptors hope to be a good team this year, they’ll need to start winning some of these back-to-backs.
Deron Williams is expected to return to the lineup tonight in time to face the Raptors. That still leaves the Jazz without the services of CJ Miles, Korver, Harpring and Ronnie Price. No matter how short-handed the Jazz are, they are still a tough team at home and the Raps will probably need Hedo if they want to have a shot at winning.
