Well, going into Game 2 against the Magic, the Raptors can start with taking a positive out of Game 1. I know, you're thinking, "A POSITIVE? WHAAA?", but yes, there were a few positives to be taken out of that game that can be carried over to Game 2. Let's start with the fact that the Raptors could have laid down and let the game completely get out of hand, but they managed to cut into the lead before half and at one point where really within striking distance at a 5 point deficit.

Unfortunately, and for some inexplicable reason, his original contract figure with the W's will still count next year. Lucky for Chris Mullin and the organization, the team holds an option for the 2009-2010 season. Hopefully, they'll cut him then, but...
