Good game, guys. Crazy ending.
Toronto should ban those fans that were heckling Lebron.

Re: 1/6: Toronto (17-16) vs. Cleveland (16-17)
For a change this game I can't blame the loss on Mitchell...the Raps just got too cocky imo. When they had that big lead they started taking shots way early in the shot clock, started playing 1 on 1 ball, and the offense was totally disorganized. Also, did anyone find out who it was on the Raptors bench that pissed Lebron off?
.....terrible loss.....we're .500 now

BOSH NEEDS MORE TOUCHES. 9-11 shooting.. the problem being he only took 11 shots. I think he only touched the ball twice in the 3rd quarter, no exaggeration.

Re: 1/6: Toronto (17-16) vs. Cleveland (16-17)
yeah bosh needs more shots, bosh needs to also drive more & get to the line.. as said earlier... 5 rebounds is just not good enough for the boshman...
parker & moon outrebounded bosh.. great game from both those guys btw, but it will be buried in the loss.

Re: 1/6: Toronto (17-16) vs. Cleveland (16-17)
Leo basically called this one in the third when he said you have to build up more of a lead while the Cavs are playing so poorly. Cavs were invisible on D for most of the game.
And I do blame Sam for some of this, which I rarely do. You don't let one guy go off for 25 in the final quarter. You take the ball out of his hands, period. And he probably needed to get Parker out of the game middle of the fourth. His shot had gone ice cold and his D was ineffective once Lebron got hot from outside. Parker was hurting us on both ends in the fourth, despite having a great first half.
Cavs get red hot from 3 in the fourth and blow us out 36-20 in an embarassing loss. Didn't they do the same thing earlier this year. 20 offensive rebounds!! Many off loose balls after tips. That gave them 14 more shots in the game despite the Raps only having 8 team TOs.
Our bench gave us 5 made baskets and 1 FT in this game. Sad.

I heard someone say those two girls were Bosh's girlfriend and cousin. That would be hilarious if true.

Without Jose our bench has really taken a nosedive.
We gave this one away and it hurts.

That's really hilarious. Lebron was serious about it too as he mentioned the heckling is what got him going
He was basically taking the game off prior to that

Re: 1/6: Toronto (17-16) vs. Cleveland (16-17)
What's up with Bargnani's rebounding? He's only grabbed more than 3 boards once in the last 14 games (6 against Houston). I realize he was coming off the bench in some of those games, but even now that he's starting again and playing big minutes, his rebounding is awful (2 reb in 40 min vs. DET, 2 reb in 31 min vs. NOH, 3 reb in 34 min vs. SAS, 3 reb in 30 min vs. PHX, etc.). His rebound rate for the season (RbR) before today's game was 8.5. That would be below average for a small forward, but for a 7' starting center it's pathetic - and it's getting worse with every game.
Back in November, his rebounding was inconsistent, but he had some pretty good games and looked like he was putting some effort into improving this weakness in his game. Now, he's worse than ever. Any theories why?
