Raps will win the next game I can feel it.
Yeah they were not ready for the playoff season. I must say, it's shocking how bad they've been in the playoffs.
Kidd is good, but he shouldn't be averaging a triple-double in the series. They double and triple team Bosh and he's struggled to find the open man, while his teammate aren't shooting well.
The injury to Bargnani has apparently set him back 6 months, as he looks like the player he was in the first month of the season.
All right Golden state. I need them to help cheer me up by seriously whipping Dallas.
And I still say the Raptors get me the next game.
It's very difficult for the Raptors to win on the road, because 100 Canadian points only equals 89 points in the US.
Raptors bench just showed Bargnani and TJ Ford- it's all right Petrie and Ducky.
Next game I am going back to the Lion and Rose for good luck- worked game 2
I called Nets in 6 so I hope Raps get one more.
I'm throwing my support for the Pistons when the Raps get out. I supported them last year and i hate the Bulls for making us face the Nets. Cavs are lame and no way in root for NJ.
I can see them barely winning a must-win Game 5 then getting blown out in game 6.
That's it. I need to go Celtic Pride on the Nets. I'll kidnap Carter.
Whose got Kidd and whose got Boki? LOL
I want to root for Boki if he progresses. But he is the only Net I ever care to see succeed.
Okay so Jefferson is not so bad- but the rest boo!
Very tough to watch on several levels.
As I said before, it becomes more and more apparent that the Raptors are looking at experience for the future over winning now. When the guy on the court in the first quarter who is showing the most emotion is Rasho, your team is in for a long night. It seems like many of these players were happy to win the division and make the play-offs. But Rasho left the play-offs in the first round enough years in Minnesota, and he wanted more.
For Spurs fans who have continually gloated over not getting Kidd- boy would he look good on the Spurs this play-off run. He is still way better than Tony Parker at running an offense. It is fun to watch him and Steve Nash play- as long as you are not the opponent.
I wish Chris Bosh would get his nervousness under control. I heard in the broadcast that he had said his nerves were a wreck.
He is thinking too much about being in the play offs. He needs to just go out and play the Nets.
I thought Calderon would be the X factor tonight- he did really good there for awhile.
My eyes started to bleed near mid third () so I really can't say who did what after that.
Sho should have been in that game. I don't know why he wasn't. If Coach wants play off experience for the guys, they need to win some games so they get to play in more.
I take it this would not be the same Rasho who registered 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 turnover, and 2 fouls in his ten minutes today?
This series is over. There is no way nets will lose 3 in a row.
This sucks.
Yes- it was. There was nothing wrong with the way Rsaho played. He had 2 fouls because there was a simple message- no one gets an easy basket- so when RJ blows by Andrea- he has to foul him. As for 2 points, well, he took one shot and made it. He never got to touch the ball on offense between TJ, Andrea, and Bosh-- the future of the franchise. Rebounding was all screwed up with 3 big giuys having to cover more perimeter oriented players, and that is part of the reason Sam switched to a more traditional line-up and Rasho unfortunately got few minutes because of it. Also, Sam never plays Rasho when the Raptors have a huge defiicit. Partially because he tries to increase the tempo at that point and patially because he sees no reason. I mean- the game was over last night early in the third quarter- why play Rasho? For the Raptors future, it is more important for Andrea to taste the NBA playoffs and play 40 minutes than for Rasho to play. And the stats in a box score tell you nothing about the player's emotion in the first quarter- while most of the Raptors continued to look s -shocked, Rasho and Mo were the ones trying to fire them up.
What a classic post. Maybe next time we can read how Rasho is actually better than Tim Duncan, but just the NBA doesn't allow him to dominate up to his capabilities.

Timmy: “It’s Rasho (Nesterovic). Rasho’s awesome. I got lucky that’s all it was. He was wearing someone else out. He wasn’t wearing me out. We calculated and he scored two points on me and 14 on other people, not that I keep track, but that’s what I heard (laughing).”
Vince Carter is amazing.

All I know is Coach Mitc won't be back. He's been horrible with adjustment and lineups this postseason.
