Coming off of a loss against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night, the Raptors will have another tough challenge tonight as the first place Cleveland Cavaliers roll into the Air Canada Center with an impressive mark of 45-14. The meeting will be the third of four scheduled meetings between the two clubs this season – each winning on their home court once to this point.
For the Raptors, the big question is whether or not their leader Chris Bosh will be in Raptor white or street clothes come tip-off. Unfortunately, the limited amount of work he put in at yesterday’s practice does not make the situation look promising. Even with Bosh in the line-up the Raptors would need to play on all cylinders in hopes of taking one from the Cavaliers. Assuming he does not go, this game presents an ample opportunity for the rest of the Raptors to truly make a statement as to how strong of a team they truly are.
The Cavaliers on the other hand will be strolling into the ACC on a high, after defeating the Boston Celtics -in Boston – last night by an astonishing 20 points! LBJ really took it to the Celts, leading his team in scoring with 36, and was the most instrumental part in a second half in which the Celtics were outscored 60-32.
Tip-off is at 7PM EST. Check back on Raptors Rapture for post-game analysis. Go Raps Go!
