The Hornets try to bounce back from their loss in Boston when they take on the Raps North of the border this afternoon (11:30am tip). The Raptors are 10-12 on the season, 5-5 at home, coming off wins over the Pacers and Nets. (They held Vince Carter scoreless in the latter. Gotta love that after what he did to them in November.)

No word on whether Tyson will play today (where’s the update, T-P?). Maybe he’s just faking the neck injury so he can skip the game and make it to Handsome Willy’s for our shindig. Can’t say I blame him. We do throw a kick-ass party.
