If you happened to watch the Raptors’ previous game against the Charlotte Hornets, then you know that they are not a team that has the capability to beat the Toronto Raptors. What this Hornets team does represent, is the potential for the Raptors to beat themselves. Long gone are the days when Toronto would consistently play down to their opponent, but the ability to do just that does not escape any team in the NBA on a single night. The Maledon’s, McGowens’ and Thor’s should be taken as serious as a Garland, Mitchell and Mobley trio in order for the Raptors to block out the noise of their inferior opponent.
