A matchup of polar opposites: The league's second best defense against the second best offense – and nearly the reverse at the other end. The Bobcats have allowed an opponent to score at the rate of Toronto's offensive efficiency just once this season – against Detroit on 11/11. The man most responsible for that offensive explosion: Charlie Villanueva. Tonight's opponent features a similarly talented (though even more so) big man in Chris Bosh…and another sweet shooting big in Andrea Bargnani. Can the Bobcats handle the non-traditional bigs of Toronto? We'll find out shortly.
