\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can it get any worse for the Toronto Raptors? Suppose so, but it\u2019s hard to see how.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The dinosaurs are in the midst of tidy little 12-game losing streak, and the hard times have locals recalling the heady days when Toronto was an expansion franchise and there was actually a good reason for the L\u2019s far outweighing the W\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s not easy losing a dozen times in a row in today\u2019s NBA, where teams slog through the middle of winter on long road trips and can\u2019t always summon enough motivation to play back-to-backs. But the Raptors have figured it out.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, Orlando and Miami accounted for a few of the losses, but the Raptors also have figured out ways to come out on the losing end to such NBA titans as the 76ers, Bucks, Pacers, Grizzlies, Wizards and Pistons. Losing to all those teams in the same month is the equivalent of the starting out with an ace in blackjack 6 times in a row, and busting each time. It can happen, but shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fact is, the Raptors are the team no one wants to lose to because of the embarrassment of having to watch yourself destroyed in ESPN and Twitter. \"Online<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one is playing well for Toronto, but the most fingers (and not always the index) are being pointed squarely at Andrea Bargnani, who reluctantly became the face of the franchise after Chris Bosh escaped to Miami. Bargnani is scoring more, but is in the midst of an horrendous 17-for-62 shooting slump, and the big fella just can\u2019t get a rebound to save his life. As a result, the Raptors struggle of the boards. And, of course, the defense really sucks, too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 None of the above does much for the job security of coach Jay Triano, who is finding is harder and harder to find positives in a season that has been so efficiently flushed down the toilet. It\u2019s not all his fault and it\u2019s not all Bargnani\u2019s fault, but pro sports in a zero sum business, and the final 30-plus games of the season could determine the future of the coach and a lot of the players on the roster.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE PICK:<\/strong> Toronto\u2019s porous defense and Atlanta\u2019s improved shooting point toward an over play here. The Hawks seem to have recovered somewhat from that bizarre 100-59 loss at home to New Orleans in a game in which Atlanta shot 29 percent from the floor. They\u2019re at 51. And 46.9 the last two games, and that should produce more than its share of points against the Raptors.<\/p>\n
