Shouldn't be too hard. He is a Raptor for life, IMO.

I dunno about Sam...I think he has reached his limit as to how far he can bring this team to....We need a much better X and O strategy coach in order to make the next step...

He was. He really was. He woke up in the playoffs and gave every posession his everything.

Hopefully BC will want to keep him here and hopefully Mo will want to stay.

ah if only mo had started each game instead of the human statue (aka graham) we'd be getting more heart out of the team like tonight...oh well good game raps, hard to blame calderon, he did keep us in the game for a long time

bC please get rid of graham. i wanna see jackson get more playing time next year.

TRON

close game, they made one more play than us in the end

it kinda sucks that we didn't even get off a shot, but I don't think anyone can really be too upset.

let the offseason begin!!!!!

well, i don't know. in some ways it's not so bad because we probably needed this heartbreak, we needed to teach ourselves the art of the loss, but in other ways it's still... heartbreaking. you don't want to lose to a team you've proven you can beat, a team from the atlantic division no less- we're atlantic champions, aren't we?- but "next year" should be good enough. that's the way it goes. you have to build... and this team is clearly building.

still, ap missing 2 of 3 at the line was painful. it symbolized the season for me. we waited too long to make a run in this one, i thought, we didn't pull away when we had the opportunity (more than just one, too), and paid for it in the end. fitting. but again, a learning experience. i don't imagine it'll be quite so painful next year (let alone the year after, etc).

calderon and ford were not only competent, they were rather impressive. yes, j-kidd ran the floor like a champ but there's hardly a pg in the league who could've stopped him tonight (imo), at least not with our rebounding. jose and tj provided at least 10x as much as we would've scored with darrick and/or juan, so thumbs up on that point. they were excellent.

man, i could write about this one forever but i won't (relief for you!). there were worse ways to end this season- much worse- and i'll leave it on that note.

peace

ballocks, don't forget when we were down 10 and NJ looked like they were gonna run away with it like times before...i was really proud of how they came back and kept fighting...on a side note those anyone else notice throughout the season how AP has a history of missing clutch FTs???

Great game and series guys, that was fun. Good luck in the off season and next year.

Even if Mopete gets traded, he will join a small group of players that won't get booed when they play in Toronto. I think Matt Bonner is the only player in that group right now.

As a Nets fan, I tip my hat to this team. Going into the season, I didn't expect much from the Raptors and they ended up having a great year. They've got a lot of solid young players, and even though it sucks to lose,this is the kind of thing that is going to help them in the long run.

It's so hard accepting this loss. It's going to take awhile to sink in.

The Raps fought hard tonight and I'm proud of what they accomplished this year.

Darman

In the 4Q he didn't touch a ball. He was quite open in the last 2 plays but they decided to pass the ball to Bosh. I hope the last play called wasn't a Sam's scheme, because giving the ball to Bosh was quite obvious.

I think experience was a big factor in this series, above all in the first game... I wish for a rematch the next year.
