On Monday, the Raptors sent Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Chuck Hayes and Patrick Patterson. The newest members havent had much practice time, but all are expected to be available on Friday. There was a visa issue with Vasquez, but its been resolved. Now, its up to the organization to acclimate them to the Raptors. "Its not going to happen overnight," acknowledged Raptors coach Dwane Casey. "Integrating those guys with our guys is going to take time. We have roles for each guy that we have in mind." On the floor, the Raptors have been bad lately. Theyve dropped six of their last seven with the only victory coming on Sunday in Los Angeles when the Raps spoiled Kobe Bryants return from Achilles surgery. Toronto was short-handed that night as the trade was agreed upon, but not official. The Raptors had a thin bench on Tuesday when they fell at home to the San Antonio Spurs, 116-103. All five starters scored in double figures, led by 19 apiece from Amir Johnson and DeMar DeRozan. Dwight Buycks, a seldom-used guard from Marquette, scored 10 off the bench. The Spurs shot 55 percent and scored 20 points off Torontos 19 turnovers. The Sixers have dropped nine straight on the road. Their only victory away from home this season came in their first road contest in Washington on Nov. 1. Philly hasnt been great at home recently either. The Sixers have lost four straight, eight of nine and 12 of 14. On Wednesday, the 76rs led going into the fourth quarter in Minnesota, but the Timberwolves outscored the Sixers, 28-18 over the final 12 minutes. It was enough to give Minny a 106-99 victory, which marked the 10th time in the last 11 contests the Sixers have allowed 100 points or more. "In a big picture, we put ourselves in a position to win a game," said Philadelphia head coach Brett Brown. "We put ourselves in a position to win a game on the road and its hard to do that." The Sixers built a 19-point lead after the first quarter, but steadily lost the lead throughout the game. They shot 53 percent from the field and 45 percent from long range, but lost the rebounding battle by eight. Spencer Hawes and Tony Wroten scored 20 points apiece, followed by 16 each from Thaddeus Young and James Anderson. Evan Turner finished with 13 points. Rookie Michael Carter-Williams missed his fourth straight with right knee soreness. The Raptors beat the 76ers in Philadelphia on Nov. 20 and have won two of the last three in this series. The Sixers have taken three of the last four in Toronto.

With Derek Carr set to build off a promising rookie season, the Raiders head into their 12th straight off-season following a playoff-free year with more optimism than usual.They appear set at the most important position after more than a decade of revolving-door quarterbacks that played a big role in the teams recent struggles. Carr was the 18th quarterback to start for Oakland since the beginning of 2003, but became the first to go all 16 games since Rich Gannon did it in 2002 — when the Raiders made the Super Bowl.I learned that I could play in this league, Carr said. You never know until you do it. I know I can play and I know I can play at a high level, and so now its just about the consistency.Carr had good and bad moments for the Raiders (3-13). He became the seventh rookie quarterback to throw for at least 3,000 yards and 20 touchdown passes in a season and looked comfortable in the pocket.He also struggled at times against the blitz and was unable to get the ball downfield consistently, in part because of the lack of a game-breaking receiver.But as a whole, the Raiders believe the playing time will only help Carr.The experience that you gain from the amount of snaps that he has taken right now are so valuable, interim coach Tony Sparano said. Its not a guess anymore. Hes seen it. He understands it. He did it.Here are some other takeaways from the 2014 season:COACHING QUANDARY: The Raiders fired Dennis Allen after four straight losses to open the season and showed some signs of improvement under Sparano. Oakland won three of its final six games, but it remains to be seen if that will be enough for Sparano to keep his job despite vocal support from the players. Even if Sparano stays, there could be changes on the staff, with the status of offensive co-ordinator Greg Olson and defensive co-ordinator Jason Tarver in doubt. Owner Mark Davis also needs to decide whether to keep generaal manager Reggie McKenzie after the team won just 11 games the past three seasons. Pirates Gregory Polanco Jersey. MIGHTY MACK: Carr wasnt the only rookie to make a big impact. First-round pick Khalil Mack stepped in and immediately became the teams best player. Mack was dominant against the run with 11 1/2 tackles at or behind the line — trailing only Houstons J.J. Watt. Mack also had the eighth-most quarterback pressures of any linebacker, according to Pro Football Focus.YOUTH MOVEMENT: Despite having the oldest opening day roster, the Raiders depended heavily on their youth. According to Sparano, 27 first- or second-year players combined for 10,196 plays this season. Along with Carr and Mack, the Raiders are hoping running back Latavius Murray, tight end Mychal Rivera, guard Gabe Jackson, defensive tackle Justin Ellis, linebacker Sio Moore and cornerbacks DJ Hayden, TJ Carrie and Keith McGill can be part of the core going forward.Were very optimistic as far as that goes, knowing that you have a great foundation here, and we want to keep building on it, Mack said.ROAD WEARY: While the Raiders were mostly competitive at home, they were unable to find any success on the road. Oakland went winless in eight road games and was outscored 130-27 in the final three losses. The Raiders have lost 11 straight away games in all, plus a neutral site game in London.Way back when, when I came into this league, when the Raiders came into your building, you knew the Raiders were in the place, Sparano said. It was like the Rolling Stones coming into town — you knew they were there. Weve got to figure a way to bring that back.WHERES WOODSON?: Safety Charles Woodson showed few signs of slowing down at age 38. He played in 1,100 defensive plays, 98.7 per cent of Oaklands total, and led the team with 112 tackles to go along with four interceptions. Woodson said he would like to be back for another season in Oakland if he is wanted and assistant coach Marcus Robertson returns as well.The crazy thing is I still feel like I can get better, Woodson said. Well see what happens here.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Chiefs Jerseys China Cheap Nike Chargers Jerseys Cheap Nike Raiders Jerseys Wholesale Cowboys Jerseys China Cheap Nike Giants Jerseys Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys For Sale Wholesale Redskins Jerseys China Cheap Nike Lions Jerseys Packers Jerseys China Cheap Vikings Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Panthers Jerseys Hoodies Cheap Saints Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike Buccaneers Jerseys Cardinals Jerseys China Cheap Rams Jerseys Hoodies Cheap Nike 49ers Jerseys Seahawks Jerseys China Bears Jerseys China Cheap Nike Bills Jerseys Ravens Jerseys China Wholesale Falcons Jerseys China ' ' '
