New additions Torsten Frings and Danny Koevermans make their much-anticipated debuts tonight for Toronto FC when the Reds host FC Dallas at BMO Field. You can see the action on TSN beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt. The last time we saw Toronto FC in action in an MLS match the club was on its way to a fourth loss in five games in Houston, dropping a 2-0 decision to the Dynamo. But tonight, Aron Winters team will have a much different look after a number of roster moves. Winter feels the trades and signings he has made are "part of the rebuilding process." Winter continued his overhaul of the team this past Friday as Toronto acquired defender Andy Iro and midfielder Leandre Griffit from the Columbus Crew for midfielder Tony Tchani. One day earlier, the San Jose Earthquakes shipped forward Ryan Johnson, allocation money and an international roster spot to the Reds in exchange for Alan Gordon, midfielder Jacob Peterson and defender Nana Attakora, with midfielder Terry Dunfield also arriving the same day from Vancouver Whitecaps FC for allocation money and future considerations. How quickly the abundance of new arrivals is able to settle in Toronto will be something to watch over the next few weeks, but obviously Winter needed to try something with Toronto in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and the team appearing to be headed toward another season without a playoff appearance. FC Dallas will be the first to test this new-look Toronto side, and the Hoops will be trying to return to the win column for the first time in three games after they were held to a 0-0 draw by D.C. United on Saturday. Dallas has gone two games without scoring a goal, but coach Schellas Hyndman felt his team did all they could against United. "As I said to the players, I couldnt ask any more out of them," Hyndman said following the match. "They gave everything they had. Sometimes we measure people on wins and losses and today was a game I thought we got everything we could." Despite the positivity after the match, Dallas still has to feel unlucky not to have earned all three points with Marvin Chavez missing the net on a breakaway attempt, while Jackson hit the crossbar in the final minutes of the game. Dallas earned a 1-0 win over Toronto in Texas in the first meeting between the two sides. But they will find out on Wednesday that this Toronto team is much different from the one they faced in May. Vancouver Whitecaps at San Jose Earthquakes The Vancouver Whitecaps will have a tough test on Wednesday night when they visit a San Jose Earthquakes squad that is unbeaten in six games. The action can been seen on TSN at 10:30pm et/7:30pm pt. San Joses six-game home unbeaten streak is a little deceiving at a glance, because its last three results are draws. But those last three games, against the Philadelphia Union, Red Bull New York, and the Los Angeles Galaxy, were against three of Major League Soccers best teams so far this season. The Earthquakes (5-6-8) lost their first home match of the season to Real Salt Lake, but have just one loss in nine games since. But with five of those games ending in draws, San Jose needs to start earning the full three points. San Jose also settled for a draw in its last match, at the Columbus Crew, and defender Chris Leitch admitted "it would have been nice to have grabbed three points on the road" after the 0-0 draw. Leitch was still happy to escape with a point from Crew Stadium, as he felt it was not "our best" effort. "Sometimes when that happens, you just have to bear down and get a result," he added. "We did that." Goalkeeper Jon Busch earned his sixth shutout of the season, but his last two clean sheets have not resulted in victories for San Jose. In the competitive Western Conference, the Earthquakes need to start getting wins. L.A. is already 16 points away in first place. In the Eastern Conference, San Jose would be just eight points behind first-place Philadelphia. San Jose tied Vancouver earlier this year at Empire Field 1-1, where the Caps had a game on Monday against Manchester City. Although it was just a friendly, coach Tom Soehn used his full lineup for the first half of the 2-1 loss. The positive was Vancouvers Camilo scored in the first half, recent signing Mustapha Jarju - a designated player - made his debut and City didnt bag its two goals until the second half after 10 Caps starters were removed. "These games are such a unique opportunity, and while you would love to play your starters full out, its also good for our young guys and it was a chance of a lifetime to play a team like Manchester City," Soehn said. Vancouver (2-10-8) last played in MLS on July 9, a 2-1 loss to Colorado, after its home match scheduled for Saturday against Real Salt Lake was postponed due to field conditions. The team put down a grass field over the artificial turf, and heavy rain soaked the pitch. The Whitecaps managed to play Mondays friendly on the field but how they will react on the road and on such short rest against the Earthquakes and all-stars Chris Wondolowski and Bobby Convey remains a big question mark.

Ainge said Monday he is hoping to keep intact the aging trio of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, who brought the Celtics their first NBA championship in 22 years in 2008.TORONTO - Andrea Bargnani was asked how it felt to occupy a locker in the visitors room for the first time, returning to the Air Canada Centre three months after being traded. "I was here before," he responded, correcting the reporter. He was right. "I was here when I came to play with Benetton Treviso, my Italian team, a long time ago," he pointed out. That was Oct. 20, 2004, an exhibition game against the Raptors, his future team. This is Bargnani in a nutshell. He wont sugarcoat. He wont beat around the bush. He marches to the beat of his own drum, on and off the court. Hes not interested in playing your game. He plays his own. Even after watching the former first-overall pick for seven years, hes still a mystery to the fans who booed him Friday, the fans he spoke so highly of. "The only thing I have to say about the fans in Toronto is that I was lucky to play here for seven years," he told reporters after scoring 10 points and grabbing four rebounds in 21 minutes of action. As if it had been rehearsed, over and over prior to the big night, thats all he had to say. "I was lucky to play in this city." No matter how hard the local media prodded for something more, thats all they got. And thats how this all started. It didnt matter what the team, the city, its fans expected to get out of Bargnani during his turbulent seven years in Toronto, he gave as much as he wanted. And for that, he was booed. Bargnani was booed early and often in the Raptors 100-91 preseason victory over the forwards new team, the New York Knicks. He was greeted with boos during pre-game introductions and he heard it from the crowd every time he touched the ball. A well-timed, "you suck Bargnani" rained down from the stands during complete silence in between anthems. Bargnani was booed and no one was surprised. "It will probably be an up and down moment for him," former teammate Amir Johnson predicted before the game. "Theyll probably boo, I just hope it isnt worse than they boo (Vince Carter)." It wasnt worse than Carter but the two are apples and oranges (or Primo and Italpasta, if that helps) in terms of their place in Raptors history. In seven seasons with the Raptors, Bargnani averaged 15.2 points and 4.8 rebounds, shooting 44 per cent from the field and 36 per cent from three-point range. He ranks third in franchise history in scoring, second in three-pointers made and fourth in games played. More than anything else, most fans will remember the injuries that derailed him each time he seemed to be turning a corner and the perceived lack of effort that held him back from reaching his ultimate potential. "It happens," Dwane Casey said of Bargnanis failure to live up to the lofty expectations that come from being a first-overall pick. "Expectations are tough and I think thats what Andrea got caught (with) here with but Andrea is a very skilled player." "It just didnt work out here," he continued. "It happens to a lot of players in the league. It doesnt mean its not going to work out for him in New York, it could be a perfect fit for him. This league is about personnel fits. Its easy to plug in a Michael Jordan and say, hey he fits anywhere but guys that have a certain skill set, sometimes it fits and sometimes it doesnt." Bargnani and the Knicks return to Toronto once more in the preseason before making their first regular season visit on December 28. Disjointed offence Once again turnovers were an issue for the Raptors, who threw the ball away 23 times leading to 31 points for the Knicks. For the second time in three games they exceeded 20 giveaways - managing to win both games - after averaging just 13.7 (third best in the league) last season. "Thats alarming," Casey said after the game. "Weve got to take care of the basketball.dddddddddddd.. We cant use preseason as an excuse. Thats a concern." Fact is, it is still early in the preseason and Caseys coaching staff has been working primarily on defence. The offence is still very much a work in progress and it has been noticeable. "Were definitely going to cut them down," DeMar DeRozan said of the turnovers. "Were going to watch film (and) watch the mistakes were (making)." Kyle Lowry had six turnovers but the miscues, for the most part, have been spread out. Just as worrisome, the team tallied just nine assists on 32 made field goals with just three of those assists coming in the first half. Third-string standouts The offence has been especially stagnant when Casey has gone to his second unit. The game seemed to be lost for Toronto during an 18-0 Knicks run that turned an eight-point Raptors lead late in the third quarter to a 10-point deficit early in the fourth. Several of the regulars off the bench struggled, as they have through most of the teams first three exhibition games. Landry Fields was 0-for-6 in 20 minutes, D.J. Augustin went 0-of-3 in eight minutes and Steve Novak didnt attempt a shot in six minutes against his former team. Toronto went scoreless for almost six and a half minutes before Casey made a change, inserting some of his third-string players midway through the fourth. They delivered. Dwight Buycks had 10 points, all in the final quarter, and Quincy Acy - in his first action of the preseason - helped spearhead a 23-9 run to recapture the lead. "Quincy Acy got our attention," Casey said after the second-year forward changed the game with his energy, scoring nine points - even knocking down a three - in just six minutes. "We knew what he could do, hes been working his behind off and he took advantage of the opportunity." Opportunities may continue to present themselves for Buycks and Acy if their hard play overshadows their more experienced teammates. Those two have been grouped together as part of a five-man unit for scrimmages in camp. "Weve won some games in practice with our energy, over skill," Acy told TSN.ca. In terms of the back-up point guard position, the rookie Buycks will continue to challenge D.J. Augustin for minutes. Neither has run away with the job. "Its close," Casey said of that battle. "Theyre different types of guards, both of them bring something different to the table, that we need. Its probably going to be nip and tuck with those two guys all year, depending on the match-up." DeRozan: the teams "most efficient player" In a team-high 32 minutes, DeRozan had another strong game scoring 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting and a perfect 6-for-6 from the line. Again the fifth-year guard had his way in the paint, utilizing a much-improved up and under move, attacking the rim, initiating the fast break and finding his teammates around the basket. "Hes playing big minutes but hes playing at a high level," Casey said of DeRozan. "Hes playing efficient basketball, with his passes, with his attacks, with his reads. "(Hes) probably the most efficient player we have right now." Through three games hes certainly been the most consistent and probably the most impressive Raptor. After the game he shared a goal of his this season. "I was eighth in free throws last year in the league," he stated. "My goal is (to) try to get in the top five, and it comes with being aggressive. Thats one big goal of mine." As a team, the Raptors attempted 39 free throws, making 31 and besting the Knicks who were 14-for-19 from the stripe. Up next The Raptors travel to Minnesota to complete their first back-to-back of the year on Saturday, facing a Timberwolves team they beat at home on Monday. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
