Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
just turned on the tv half way through the 2nd quarter...the team doesn't look like it is playing with much confidence nor as a team
the third looks much better with the starters out there, Hump playing well being really active on the boards and not doing the things that usually get him pulled really quick

Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
Can someone explain how Joey Graham is getting any minutes at all....even with the injuries he shouldn't be taking any minutes away from Delfino, Moon or Kapono if we actually expect to win

Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
after Houston controlled much of the first half, the Raps seemed to do a complete 180 and are now somehow up 10  .......whatever Sam told him team at half it seems to of worked
of all players, Bonzi Wells is keeping houston in the game as the Raps really focusing on stopping Tmac and Yao

Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
Sam did a good job of limiting his wacky rotations in the 2nd half playing...Jose/Kapono/Delfino/Bosh/Hump for the majority with Rasho and AP subbing
hmmmmm...... 0 minutes for Joey and TJ in the second  if your not playing well you shouldn't play
and thank god for Bosh being back, good win
Toronto 93 Houston 80

Yeah boiieee, Raps win. Pretty interesting game, Raps came out and took over. Bosh with a huge game also, some nice blocks. Glad I woke up to watch it

Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
Great second half to get a huge win at home.
TJ played horribly. Kept trying to force passes and his shot wasn't going down.
Moon with an off game but still picked up a few blocks.
Humphries with one of the better games of his young career. He was the difference maker in a decisive third quarter.
So good to have Bosh back. Didn't miss a beat.

Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
Nice win. I turned off the TV after that awful 1st half, thought they weren't going to win especially with the players' body language.. turned it back on at the end of 3rd and the Raps were leading. :O

Re: Toronto vs. Houston....Sunday.Dec.9, 2007
^ yah I have to agree, the body language was just awful in the first half
the team looked out of sink and lost to be honest. having TJ/Moon and Joey play together really made me want to vomit....and I'm glad we didn't have to see more of that in the 2nd half

What a sick block on T-Mac by CB4 late in the 4th. Epitomizing heart and hustle as usual.

It has to be apparent by now even to the hardcore Ford dickriders that Calderon > Ford

Calderon = consistency to the max.
Ford = amazing one night invisible the next
