Question:

What's your approach when you face Dwight Howard?

Answer:

I'm going to be as aggressive as possible. I'm going to try and drive the ball as much as possible. That's what you do against great shot blockers. If you let him sit in the lane, he's going to clog it up, but if you make him move, he's going to struggle a little bit.

Question:

how is life treating you in TO?

Answer:

I love Toronto. The city and organization has been great to me. It's been a nice change, a very nice change for me and my family. Looking forward to making some special things happen, but everything outside of basketball has been perfect for us.

Question:

How will the Toronto’s Twin towers help the 3 point shooting for the Raps

Answer:

Teams are going to have to figure out where they are going to double from. Teams have to ask who they want to double, me or chris, but you really can’t come off of a guard on this team. It’s really a tough situation for teams to come up with a defensive scheme for us.

Question:

Have you been surprised with what Bargnani brings to the team?

Answer:

He's physically stronger and he's a hell of a lot quicker than I thought he was, I haven't seen a guy that size move that quick. His skill level was a lot higher than I thought it was, the things he can do at seven foot, being able to put the ball on the floor. It's just my opinion, but if you keep him as a four (power forward) or five (centre), and him coming off the bench, there's not a four or five in this league that could guard him.

Question:

Who was your biggest influence on you when you were growing up?

Answer:

My mom, my brother, and my grandmother

Raptors schedule announced

The Toronto Raptors announced Wednesday they will tip-off their 14th season in the National Basketball Association on Wednesday, October 29 against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wachovia Center. The Raptors played host to Philadelphia at Air Canada Centre in last season’s opener. The October 29 start equals the earliest date in franchise history (2003-04 versus New Jersey). This also marks the fifth time in team history the club has started the regular season on the road.

Toronto’s home opener is set for Friday, October 31 against the Golden State Warriors. This will be the fourth time in franchise history the Raptors have faced a Western Conference opponent in the home opener.

The Raptors will play almost half of their road games (18 of the 41) in the season’s first two months (October/November and December). The longest road swing is a six-game trip from December 19-29. The longest home stand of the season is five games from March 20-29.

Noteworthy games in Toronto on the 2008-09 schedule include a lone appearance by LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, February 18; Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and the defending World Champion Boston Celtics come to town for two Sunday matinees (November 23 and January 11); Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns make their only trip to Canada on Sunday, January 18; Kobe Bryant and his Los Angeles Lakers appear on Wednesday, February 4; and Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets visit Sunday, December 14. On the road, newly-acquired Raptor Jermaine O’Neal will make his first trip back to Indiana on Friday, January 16 to face his former Pacers squad.
