I wanted to go to the Raptors - Spurs game, but they'll play during the week (Monday), and I have a job (I live in Montreal, which is a 6 h drive from Toronto)

They could have scheduled that game on Sunday, now that I can afford good seats !!

Fly and use some vacation time.

Fly and use some vacation time.

I'll look into that, but I just got promoted, so I have to be careful

[resistanze]

Damn, I'm proud of the RAps tonight.

Even though they their rebounding has been dog , and their points in the paint differential is horrible, they keep fighting.

Props to Bargnani for actually playing well for once, and Delfino. They've been crazy from behind the arc!

Now on to the finale...

[Tippecanoe]

i blame james posey

[ludda]

Good Job Raps! Exciting game.

[endrity]

You should blame the defense overall, the Raptors seemed not to miss the last four minutes. Calderon is a stud, debate closed. He is their pg of the future, not TJ. And maybe this game kind of kicks Bargnani into gear. It seems like Bosh freezes him out at points, like he is too worried about getting his own stats.

Big win for the Raptors-- despite giving up 16 offensive rebounds and an uncharacteristic 18 turnovers, they pulled it out. When they are shooting like that, it is unbelievable!!

Calderon 8/10 (3/4 3's)
Bosh 8/11
Parker 8/12 (4/6 3's)
Delfino 5/7 (5/5 3's)
Bargnani 7/14 (3/6 3's)
Rasho 2/3

Also, some nice assists numbers-- 32 total (Calderon 13, Bargnani 7!!!!, Rasho 3)

Believe me, Bosh has nothing to do with Bargnani sucking it up over the past 2 months

Even in this game, Bosh only attempted 11 FGs, and made 8 of them. Bargnani has been getting his looks, he just wasn't making them, nor playing D or rebounding. He just needs to find some consistency, something I doubt he will as I still believe he can never play center in the NBA.

On a different note, Calderon was a beast! 24 points, 11 assists, 8-10 FG, 3-4 3PT.

[Tippecanoe]

15/21 3PT, 19/19 FT, 58% FG overall

had it been raptors over spurs, SD woulda been up all night

I liked the fact that Sam played Bargs with Rasho in the second quarter tonight when Bosh was on the bench. It lets Andrea play PF with Rasho at center for part of the game. I think that allows him to be more comfortable.

[Armando]

Oh well I guess the Raptors were due to beat Boston, Boston still wins the season series 3-1. BTW Calderon needs some happy meals. Damn he looks like Skeletor.

Bargs is overrated.

Is just 1 game. The Celts already beat the Boshes 3 times this season.

Yeah, same old Rasho more assists than rebounds.

Plus they got away with a foul on Pierce when he drove to the basket. Is just me or has any notice that teams are allowed to be more pysical with him? I mean some of the defense the Raptors were playing on him if that had been LeBron the whistle would have been blowing all game long.

only players that get that call are D-Wade, Lebron or Kobe, everyone else gets screwed

Celtics have some,Spurs have a couple. Do you have one? betting a team in the regular season doesn't mean ask any Cavs fan.

[lefty]

No wonder this guy is going to the dunk contest. He can really fly

Maybe so! But it was exciting nonetheless and therefore is worth celebrating.

So either join the happy dance or step aside.

[endrity]

Ok, at some point you Spurs fan have to stop using the reference to the 4 les over anything. I understand talking trash to Mavs fans, but to Raps????? No, reg season wins don't mean someone will win a championshi, but that is no reason why someone should not be happy. If you can't enjoy any success from your team why watch sports at all. Why even play the regular season. Add 2 more teams, 16 in each conference and play a straight up playoffs. Just because a Raps fan is happy that they beat you, doesn't mean you have to show them the trophy. Are you scared that people don't know that you are the champions. Are you really that complexed? We know ok, we know. Now can we enjoy the regular season for what it is, and be happy when our teams win.
