[QUOTE]All five teams in the Atlantic Division started the season poorly, and still, with roughly 40 percent of the season already completed, none of the five have winning records.

A few of the teams have started to pick up their play of late, led by the division-leading Toronto Raptors. On Saturday night, the Raptors host one of the other hard-charging teams in the Atlantic, the Brooklyn Nets.

The Raptors (17-17) have won six of their past eight games overall, and four of five at home. Their improved play has coincided with the trade of small forward Rudy Gay and the elevation of Terrence Ross into the starting five. Since Gay was dealt and Ross moved into the lineup on Dec. 10, Toronto is 10-5, with the second-year small forward averaging 13.1 points and shooting 46.1 percent (41 of 89) from 3-point range.

"He's improving as a basketball player," point guard Kyle Lowry told the team's website about Ross. "Catching and shooting, his confidence is unbelievable. He's showing his versatility. He can play defense. He's scoring, but if you look at the defensive assignments he's had in the past few weeks, he's done a great job at it

The whole OVO thing is just a rip-off of Jay-Z and the Brooklyn Nets. I hope they change the colours to blue or something like that.

A Toronto sports team with a blue colour scheme ?

You don't say.

They shouldn't change their colors.

[The JKidd Kid]

Should be a good game. Both teams on the rise and have deprecated from the rest of the pack of futility of the Atlantic division. Too bad I won't be able to watch. Let's go Nets!

[Legends66NBA7]

They shouldn't change their colors.

In the future, I hope they don't change it to gold like the one in the OP. I wish they brought back the first jersey they wore.

And considering it's Drake Night at the ACC, fans get these T-Shirts:

Foreshadowing of future jerseys ?

I would burn dem shitz immediately

"People say he looks like chris tucker but he really doesnt"

[kNIOKAS]

Raptors still marketing and promoting DeRozan.

[Sakkreth]

Should win this one, even though brooklyn started doing a little better lately.

[Kungfro]

Holy crap, Demar has as many rebounds as the entire nets team with 7 already.
