Let’s hope the Toronto Raptors have a short memory.

The Raptors (33-34) look to shake off one of their worst losses of the season and keep their playoff hopes alive as they travel south of the border to take on the lacklustre New Jersey Nets on Saturday night.

Toronto didn’t put up much of a fight against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, losing a poorly played, turnover-filled contest 115-89.

They have lost six in a row on the road and 10 of the last 12 overall and are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Chris Bosh scored a team-high 22 points and added 10 rebounds against the Thunder and leads his squad into action against a Nets team that has lost a half-dozen straight.

A visit to East Rutherford may be exactly what the Raptors need to right the ship, as they are 3-0 against the Nets this season, and have been winning by an average of 16.4 points.

The Nets (7-61) have long forgotten about the playoffs and are scrambling to avoid sporting the worst record in NBA history.

New Jersey needs to win three of its last 14 games to register 10 on the season, one more than the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers that finished with a 9-73 record.

There is some positive news out of New Jersey as point guard Devin Harris and power forward Yi Jianlian are returning from injuries and will be in the lineup tonight.

Favourable schedule

Luckily for Toronto, the schedule over the next few days plays in their favour.

Following their game against the Nets, the Raptors will travel to Minnesota for a Monday night game against the Timberwolves and their 14-56 record, the worst in the Western Conference.

If it wasn’t for the poor play of the Chicago Bulls, the Raptors’ playoff run might have already ended.

The Bulls are the closest contender for that coveted final post-season spot and are currently sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, 2½ games back of Toronto.

Chicago has not won a game in the month of March and has dropped 10 straight.

Friday nightmare

The Raptors recorded 19 turnovers and gave up 20 offensive rebounds to the Thunder on Friday night and will need to be tougher in the paint on Saturday.

“We didn’t resist them at all,” Bosh said. “And you can’t do that, because this team is going to play hard, and they’re going to play their basketball.”

Even Thunder star Kevin Durant, who poured in 31 points against Toronto, felt the Raptors didn’t have the best of games.

“Teams have tough nights,” he said. “We’ve had our tough nights. It happens in our league.”
