what a gaaamee!!!!

bosh and roy, two of the best players in the league put on a hell of a show.

parker was GREAT. jose has balls.

i only remember the two OT's really haha.. thats what a 12 pack on an empty stomach 11 in the morning will do to ya..

I just watched Raptors Game in an Hour on Raptors TV and this was on of the craziest games ive ever seen! Wow...thank goodness they won this game.

Travis Outlaw really impressed me. He was amazing. I'm just speechless.
Jose once again played great. Chuck really thinks he should be going to New Orleans. If he doesnt make the team I wouldnt be surprised to see him in the Skills Challenge or whatever its called.
Chris Bosh played great but was disappointed me on his two opporunities to win the game. The first attempt was alright but the second one he had a perfect chance to shoot the damn ball but he hesitated.
But hey...a win is a win and this was one of those games that I wont forget anytime soon.

Great game all around. A loss would have been very demoralizing. The lack of becnh production, outside of Delfino today is still a bit of a concern. Another classic between the Blazers and Raptors.

wow...with the way our team rebounded terribly without bargnani on the floor, how would it be like with him on it? at least in this case andrea would get some more burn to develop.

btw i love that loose ball foul andrea had on przybilla, showing signs how much he want it.

It was a great game. And it was a big win against a club that is playing well.

But its still hard to get too excited about the Raps. Games like this highlight our need for another creator on O. Bosh is an excellent player and a guy you can build around but he still doesn't have a passing game at all. He can only make the most basic of passes, and because he is a mid-range post player (needs the ball in that 12-18 foot range) you can't run slashers around him because he needs space to do his thing. So its always a clearout for CB to operate and once he drives its always to shoot and never a pass. That's a big limitation.

Watching BRoy, and even Delfino, today it shows what penetration off the dribble can do when you have passing skills as well. Delfino may never be a high FG% player but we need that element that he brings offensively. The fact that he is one of our better rebounders is huge too, although at times he just follows the ball instead of boxing out.

Joey Graham is obviously being showcased for a trade. He is getting minutes every game but not a lot. I just wish Sam had let Joey play through more mistakes as a rookie when the team wasn't going anywhere. If Joey did what Moon did tonight he would be benched for a month.

The double OT hid the fact that this was another low scoring game for the Raps. And why we haven't brought in a PG on a 10 day is beyond me. Sam has lost all faith in Martin, and doesn't like what Dixon did at point. Sam obviously told Martin not to chuck up so many quick shots and benched him a few games to get the message across. Martin tried to change it up a bit this game and last game but isn't looking good at all.

Parker is playing better at both ends as the season goes on but when he is forced to attack off the dribble it seems like a major labour. Nothing is easy.

two things;

Regarding Bargnani:
i know as someone (as we all do) with the teams best interests in mind, andrea is frusterating.. he's had flashes, too inconsistent in between is the problem, so we forget the good he can do when his head is in the game... which isnt very often it seems... However, we don't want to see another dirk for tractor traylor trade go down.. especially if the outcome favors us similar it did milwaukee.

Regarding Moon & the "Play":
say what you want about Moon fouling a 3 point shooter.. mistakes happen, rookies mistakes happen more often.. the way he came back from a terrible mistake & being ripped apart by Sam Mitchell to get two very key blocks, a key steal, a key rebound & a key jumper for the go ahead all in double OT was simply Impressive.

right after Mitchell ripped Moon (and i mean he just tore him up.. i haven't seen Smitch treat a player like that since Rafer Alston) AP went over to talk to him. i love the cohesiveness of our team & the maturity of Jamario.. walking off the court to the cameras before the lockerrooms @ the ACC after the win (you know how they do after each game & halftime).. anybody else catch jamario laughing and saying WOW to the camera after the 2 OT's?

dude has a good sense of humor you don't find in many NBA players.

i can tell you this much.

if we decide to trade andrea now, we will regret it BIG TIME.. not only because we wouldnt get full value, but because he will become a star once he adapts his game to the nba game.

luckily colangelo has more patience than our skitzo fans.

I've been a big time defender of Bargnani in the past, but at this point I just don't think he's going to fit in here.

I hate to be a downer but looking back at those rebuilding years is pretty depressing when you look at the drafts.

'03: Bosh was a great pick... can't complain but Wade is better.

'04: Hoffa is no longer in the league... Iggy, Biedrins, J.Smith, & Al Jefferson were all available.

'05: Bynum at #7 & Granger at #16 would have been the perfect draft.

'06: Getting the 1st overall pick was the worst thing that could have happened. There were no true Cs on the board, we desperately needed a swing, but there was pressure to go with upside at #1. Had we taken Andrea at #5-7 he probably wouldn't be getting as much heat right now.


* We had 5 first round picks and not once did we select the best player available.

Mr_B

Do you know where I can download it I missed the game due to work

firstrounder

Bargs is the next Darko

billfindlay10

Although I still expect more from Bargs I can live with that. Darko has slowly gotten better as he has gotten minutes.....I would be happy with 6 boards 2 blocks per from Andrea....he would score more then Darko as well.
