Raptors are in for a hard long night and after the miracle in Dallas when on December 28,2010 the Raptors went into Dallas little to nobody and the Dallas Mavericks were without the Big Dirk. Tonight when the Raptors lace up their shoes and set on the floor with the Maverick they will be facing a very angry Big Dirk especially after Keven Durant with the Mavs winning with 1.4 seconds and took the inbound pass and was open for a three to win the game at the buzzer.
The 0 and 3 Mavs have been given up 108 points a game which means that they are missing their defensive coach Dwayne Casey who is now the head coach of the Toronto Raptors and Mavs will be getting a massive game from Big Dirk who is get with the fad away jumper which is untouchable and Andrea Bargnani could only wish to have a jump like Big Dirk.
If the Raptors have a chance to win the game then Boo Carter will be the one tossing up the rock and because he still has not figured out that he is not the man and that he needs to be a team player as he has shot 8 for 22 in the 58 minutes he has played in the Mavs three losses and he has 3 for 8 from the free throw lines and 5 for 9 from three and has a total of 6 boards in the season. Jason Terry is the second leading scorer for the Mavs with 15 boards and the team has been shooting just over 40% and are averaging 26 boards a game and the Raptors will need a 30 minute performance from DeMar DeRozan who has played well in the fourth quarter of both the Raptors first two games.
The Raptors will need to bring four hard hats each (one for each of the quarters) and will need Ed Davis and Amir Johnson (who is averaging 11.5) just crushing the boards because if the Raptors play tough on the boards then I do not know if the Mavs supporting cast like Shawn Marion and that Kardashian Lamar Odom.
Then they head to Orlando and New York Sunday and Monday which is the first three in four night this season
