I'm glad this shooting slump is happening now and not, say, in March/April.

Brutally bad foul call on Bosh there.

As a side note, Bargnani is "Barney-arney" and "Barn-arney" so far tonight.

Nice run by the Raptors here in the 3rd. Bosh and Bargnani are heating up and the Ford/Calderon 2-headed monster is playing very, very well.

the slow start killed us tonight, as did Hedo and Rashard's shooting...i'd consider having a switch up in the starting lineup, probably Delfino or Dixon for Kapono/AP just to instill some energy back into the 1st unit who have started out poorly for the past 3 games...

tough loss, but it was a game we didnt deserve to win...

toronto can not expect to win when we repeatedly only show up to play in the 4th quarter... got our first lead of the game with like 5minutes left in the final Q.

Rashard & Turk killed us outside... Dixon once again impressed me with his energy & scoring... that is all ive got to say. 2-3

atleast bosh bounced back & tried to get to the line early & often.. just not enough.

Onions, Baby

my reasons why we lost:

1. Phantom travelling call on Bargnani late in the 4th
2. Didn't attack Howard who had 5 fouls with 5 minutes left
3. Ford replaced Calderon who clearly got us in a position to win

Mitchell's substitution patterns have been off these days. But if it wasn't for TJ, we probably would've been down 20+ at the half like yesterday. But he definitely should have left Calderon in considering the rhythm he had going on.

southeasy

im not going to use it as an excuse but atleast 4-5 times i saw terrible, just TERRIBLE calls by the referees.. we lost, we deserved to lose, but we deserve more respect, bad calls, alot on bargnani posting up, two big guys equally battleing downlow & the call ALWAYS goes against us, on either side of the court.. just rediculous.
