Raptors-Nets Preview

With their playoff chances on the line, this is an ideal time for the struggling Toronto Raptors to be facing two of the league's worst teams.

Following yet another letdown, the Raptors look to snap a six-game road losing streak as they visit the lowly New Jersey Nets on Saturday night.

Toronto (33-34), which has lost 10 of its last 12 overall, would likely be out of playoff position if Chicago weren't playing so poorly. The Raptors are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, 2 1/2 games ahead of a Bulls team that has lost 10 straight.

Consecutive games against subpar opponents give Toronto a chance to gain some confidence. Two days after facing the league-worst Nets (7-61), the Raptors will remain on the road for a matchup with Minnesota, which has the West's worst record.

Toronto is 3-0 against New Jersey this season, winning by an average of 16.4 points. The Raptors have a chance for their first four-game season series sweep of the Nets.

But even New Jersey might be too difficult of an opponent to overcome if Toronto struggles as much as it did in a 115-89 loss to Oklahoma City on Friday night. The Raptors shot 43.8 percent and committed 19 turnovers, four by All-Star forward Chris Bosh.

Bosh and Andrea Bargnani will be matched up inside with Nets center Brook Lopez on Saturday.

Lopez is coming off one of his worst performances of the season, finishing with 12 points on 2-of-9 shooting in New Jersey's 108-97 loss at Philadelphia on Wednesday night.

The Nets, losers of six straight, hope to give Lopez some help, with point guard Devin Harris and power forward Yi Jianlian both expected to return after practicing Friday. Harris has been out the last two games with an upper respiratory infection, and Yi has missed the last six with a sprained left ankle.

Harris, averaging 17.3 points and 6.7 assists, hopes to help New Jersey avoid a dubious record. The Nets need to win three of their last 14 games to avoid tying or breaking the league record for single-season futility, a 9-73 mark set by Philadelphia in 1972-73.

"The effort just has to be there," Harris said. "I think the wins and losses will take care of itself. We have to play hard enough in order to win these games. We, at points in time, play for 39 minutes, maybe 41 and sometimes 47, but we need to give those 48 minutes."

Harris' return should help New Jersey do a better job of getting the ball to Lopez in the post.

"We need to make more of a conscious effort that when (Lopez) has deep position, we need to give him the ball regardless of if he has an open shot or not," Harris said. "He's our focal point in the paint. We need to first and foremost try to get him going and try and get the rest of the guys going."

Lopez had a game-high 22 points while going 9 of 12 from the field in New Jersey's 106-89 loss to Toronto on Feb. 19, the teams' last meeting. The Raptors played without Bosh but still had seven players score in double figures.

Bosh pops for 36, helps Raptors to crucial win over Nets

EAST RUTHERFORD (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Raptors' 100-90 win over the Nets on Saturday night was simply a matter of Want vs. Need.

The Nets would very much like to avoid setting the NBA mark for worst record in a season.

But Toronto is playing for their playoff lives.

Buoyed with that sense of late-season urgency that can only come when losing 10 of the previous 12, Chris Bosh took charge and scored 23 of his 36 points in the second half to lead Toronto at the IZOD Center.

"We're to the point where we have to win every game," said Bosh, who also had eight rebounds. "Give credit to everybody. We won a game we were supposed to win."

With the win, Toronto (34-34) maintains its 2.5-game lead over the Bulls (a 98-84 winner over the 76ers on Friday night).

The Raptors were licking their wounds following their 115-89 loss to Oklahoma City on Friday night, a game where they allowed 71 points in the first half, gave up 20 offensive rebounds overall and had Bosh labeling the team as having "no resistance." Additionally, Raptors coach Jay Triano had his team sit through a video session devoted to his team's missed box outs against the Thunder earlier in the day.

"That's how we prepared," Triano said.

"Sometimes we play down to our competition," added Raptors forward Reggie Evans. "But this was a good win for us not to play at the level of our competition."

The Nets were led by Devin Harris (22 points, seven assists) and Brook Lopez (18 points, 13 rebounds), but fell to 7-62. They need three wins over their next 13 games to avoid setting the mark for worst record in NBA history (9-73 by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-73).

The Nets did lead 51-48 at halftime - only the 20th game this season they've led at the midway point. While Toronto shot 51.4 percent, New Jersey showed a rare knack for play-making with 15 team assists.

But, just like most games, New Jersey faded. It made just 8-of-23 shots in the third quarter. Strangely, the Nets went away from the play-making and found themselves missing 11-of-13 shots from 3-point range.

Bosh, on the other hand, showed why the Nets and other teams will be seeking his services in the off-season. The future free agent, who happened to be playing his 500th career game, scored 15 points on 7-of-10 in the third, and when the period was over the Raptors led 80-70.

"That's why you hear the talk about him and LeBron James and Dwyane Wade," Evans said.

"I just had opportunities," Bosh added. "That's how I play basketball. Sometimes if I feel I can provide a spark for my team I come out and try to do that."

The Nets threatened to make it interesting late in the fourth, cutting their deficit to 92-85. But a Sonny Weems runner off the glass followed by a thunderous, two-handed tomahawk dunk from Bosh put Toronto up 96-85 with 3:06 left.

Bosh made 10 of 14 shots in the second half, and said his teammates egged him on to score over 30.

"I gave them six extra," Bosh beamed.

"He's a super player and pretty much the whole second half we were trying to double team him on the catch, get it out of his hands," Nets interim coach Kiki Vandeweghe said of Bosh. "He made long outside shots and killed us in a variety of ways. You get a player who's really playing well like that and they're that good, they're tough to guard."

"It's tough because he can really stretch the floor and knock down that jumper," Lopez added. "He's a great passer, too."

This was the start of a four-game homestand for the Nets, and possibly their last chance to make a serious run at avoiding the 76ers' futility record. They host Miami, Sacramento and Detroit this week.

"It's frustrating," Harris said. "We're trying to do our best out there, but obviously there are key plays we're not making down the stretch."
