The Raptors will be without Fred Jones indefinately with a dislocated finger. He has been a huge disappointment for the Raptors this season as he’s only averaging 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He also has only shot 38.7% from the field this season. They will need more from him when he returns later in the season.
The Raptors finished the first half of the season with a 29-24 record. They are in first place in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference and it appears that the New Jersey Nets are about to raise the white flag soon on their season as they continue to talk of trading Jason Kidd/Vince Carter. The Raptors are only 4 games behind the Detroit Pistons for the best record in the Eastern Conference and that also looks like it could be attainable as long as the Raptors keep rolling. All the Raptors need to do in the second half is keep their stars (Chris Bosh & T.J. Ford) healthy and they will have at least one home court series in the playoffs and maybe more.Â
