Game 39: Raptors at 76ers

Almost to the big 4-0. Raptors head into Philadelphia in pursuit of win # 24.


  • Good win over Washington last night, even though the Raptors struggled at times in the frist half, they buckled down on the defensive end and eked out a 97-88 win over the team that swept them in last year's dreadful playoff series
  • The Sixers are starting to become self-aware. They realize now a team full of rookies and unproven talent needs guidance. Jerry Colangelo has been recently named the new chairman of Basketball operations for the team and has committed to turning the young team around. One move he recently hinted at was signing veteran power forward Elton Brand to the Sixers squad.
  • Jonas Valanciunas should look to have another big night against rookie big man Jahill Okafor. While most of Philly's offense does involve Jahill in some way, Jonas is a skilled and quick big man who should prove problematic for the young Sixer
Tonight's Raptor Track!

The Saddle Tramps - "After A Sixer"

I know zero about this song and even less about the group, but since it's a country/western song i'm gonna guess the Sixer in the title has little to do with the Basketball team and more to do with a 26 fluid ounce bottle of alcohol. Good enough!


Raptors 4th in the East 23-15. Sixers 15th in the East 4-34

Ouch
