Game 28 Knicks at Raptors

With the Friday night victory of the Detroit Pistons the Raptors return home for their last home game of the year to face The New York Knicks. Last time these two teams met Toronto took the victory in Overtime.

• New York will be without Amare Stoudamire and JR Smith. Though they still have some big players in Carmelo Anthony, Iman Shumpert and ex-Raptor Jose Calderon.
• Landry Fields took a nasty fall on Friday night, though he initially passed the concussion test he failed to pass it this morning. He'll miss the game with 8 stitches in his head. Look for Grievis to get the start.
• DeMar DeRozan was out getting some shots up earlier today, but is likely a few games away yet. Which is fine. No sense reaggrevating an injury over the holidays.

Song Of The Day

"Fairy Tale of New York" - The Pogues

'Tis the season! And since the Raptors got snubbed once again for the highly coveted Christmas Day game, i'll play the Christmas song today. The best Christmas song in my opinion is "Fairy Tale of New York" by English group The Pogues.
