Game 3 - Thursday 7:30 pm - Magic @ Raptors
Sam Mitchell said on RaptorsTV (specifcially Raptors Today) earlier tonight that he didn't plan on taking Ford out of the starting line-up. However, when asked about Bargnani, he didn't clarify that Bargnani would be starting, which leads me to believe that Andrea will be coming off the bench. Let's protect homecourt!

Re: Game 3 - Thursday 7:30 pm - Magic @ Raptors
If it were up to me the lineup would look like this:
PG - Calderon. We need a player who can control the tempo a little better, and I think Calderon's style is better suited for the playoffs. Ford's style was fine during the regular season but he's really been struggling running plays. Ford should backup Calderon and when he's on I'd say use him like you'd use Tony Parker/Leandro Barbosa.. don't try to make him play pg just let him drive and score and keep the opponent on their heels.
SG - Parker. No explanation needed here. Can score for us when needed and plays great defense. He should be the one guarding Turk.
SF - Kapono/Delfino. I've been a fan of moon all season but we can't afford opening the game down 20 anymore. Moon's a good defender but the raptors need some offense. Kapono has played well and I want to see him get a lot more shots. His defense isn't that good but he'll be guarding the sg(evans and bogans) who won't have much of an offensive game. Delfino is a tantalizing option because he can play better defense(although he can be quite erratic on offense at times) but he's better suited off the bench than Kapono and he has better chemistry with bargnani.
PF - Bosh. Need I explain?
C - Nesterovich. Just to put a body on Howard. I'd be tempted to try out Humphries(underrated player) but he's probably too undersized.
The reason for this lineup is simple: Offense. And to slow down Howard.

Re: Game 3 - Thursday 7:30 pm - Magic @ Raptors
it should be
Calderon Parker Kapono Moon Bosh
Calderon more efficient better shhoting PG, Kapono so almlid shooter, hot ride him while he is hot, Moon on Hedu about as quick and much better defensively than bargs on hedu, Bosh will need help to box out Dwight, perhaps we see a bit more rasho.
I just think this is the best line up to start and as the game progresss we can then alter the linr up by using Bargs at PF or at C, Delfino at SG, we lack option s on Rashard Moon is our best option, tweeking Bosh could maybe help if we go big ball say with
Calderon Parker Bosh Bargnani Rasho

I think we will see Bargs and Bosh at the 4/5 5/4....I guess Moon at the 3, but who knows for sure?

Re: Game 3 - Thursday 7:30 pm - Magic @ Raptors
time to get it on. time to click. time for the ACC to explode.
grind it out and hit shots.
this is the season. right here. this is all that matters in the world right now.
now we're really underdogs. are we going to finally accept that and start playing like a caged animal?
AB starting his third game in a row. he will impact this game.
TJ will take it to nelson and hit his shots.
Raptors win. Here we go.
