Come on Raps- make a game out of it. Let's go!
What is going on with our team?
I was worried because it tends to jinx things when I mention stats mid game.
I should have waited, but I really wanted to give Sho due props.

Raptors went smaller most of the second half and got killed. They were tired after a game last night, having to get through the snow to the airport, being stuck at the airport for a couple of hours, and then not getting in until the middle of the night.
Jose is in amazing shape, but all those minutes with TJ hurt look like they caught up to him tonight. At least they don't have another game until Wednesday because now they hit a stretch of tough games.
Unfortunately, Boki is having a great game for the Nets tonight.

He's been having a great year.Unfortunately, Boki is having a great game for the Nets tonight.
Shut up ploto!Unfortunately, Boki is having a great game for the Nets tonight.
That`s great for Boki. It looks like he`s playing really well the last 4 or so games.
I meant unfortunately for the Raptors. I have been a Boki backer for some time and said he was just what the Spurs needed when they decided not to bring Hedo back. No one listened.Shut up ploto!

The Raptors have a planned visit today to the Children's hospital, and hopefully there will be a nice story or some pictures available tomorrow. Usually, the entire team goes.
I'll look forward to your posting whatever is available.
This morning, I bought my ticket for the Raptors game here in February- so excited about seeing Sho!
Do you know why he didn`t play last night? It`s kind of weird he didn`t play at all after a 22 point performance. Is he injured?I meant unfortunately for the Raptors.

Boki was sick. (or so they say)
It is not always easy to get professional athletes to give up their few and far between moments of free time during the season but yesterday there was no coaxing needed to get a full Raptors roster together for the team's annual visit to the Hospital for Sick Children.
"Kids are special," Chris Bosh said. "Any time you get an opportunity to bring something positive into their lives you do it."

The Raptors took time Sunday for some team building by
taking cooking lessons at George Brown College in Toronto.

Let's go Raptors!
I can hear the game!!!!!
When Sho scores, the announcer: " Rasho breaks out the Slovenian Swing Shot!"
Back at .500 with a huge win!
Raps 119 Wizards 109
Sho- 8 points and on 3-4 shooting. 2 of 2 from the line. 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocked shot.
When Chris Bosh has just made 13 straight field goals! Holy cow!
Announcer said: “ I’m calling him Government after that one because he is taxing people- 13 in a row.”
Finished with 34 points, 15 straight field goals!
Raps 60% from the field for the game.
Bosh with a layup, steal and a buzzer beater from the other free throw line within 2.6 seconds at the end of the third.
And that spin move and dunk on Blatche at the end of the game was just filthy. Bosh was amazing tonight.
Actually, Rasho was 4/5 and 2/2 FT with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
He even had a two-handed put back dunk off a Garbo miss.
Everything went right for the Raptors. To end the third quarter, they had the ball with about 22 seconds; ran the clock down; perfect pass to Bosh for easy lay-in with about 2 seconds left. Wizards in bound to almost half court, try a long pass to the free throw line. Bosh intercepts, takes one step, and from almost 3/4 length with 0.2 seconds hurls it up and it's nothing but net! He started 0-4 and then hit 15 consecutive shots.
Jose has been amazing. He's the back-up point guard, starting because Ford is just coming back from his injury, and playing against the best team right now in the East. He only goes 10/13- has 24 points and 11 assists!
Even better! I was already thrilled.Actually, Rasho was 4/5 and 2/2 FT with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
The Raptors are for real!
And New Jersey lost. Thank you Detroit. Sorry Boki.
