Raps lose the game and I lose my voice over it, but I don’t feel too bad because of the play of Ukic and Bargnani.

Great play by Ukic and Bargs…the whole game was a great one to watch as both teams had to fight the whole time…the the Raps choked in overtime. Hurt to watch

This, aside from the result was the best game I’ve wayched all game; intense and hard fought.

Bargnani’s last second 3 had me cheering like I haven’t all season and I was up and down all game like I used to be with hockey.

The one downer was the ever puzzling “air fouls” like Moon on Pierce - never touched him and Bosh’s non touches in OT.

But did you check out KG’s defense on him??? He basically faced him up and all but stood on Bosh’s toes - his feet were literally between Bosh’s.

Great game, hard loss.

Time to start again on Wed.

I think the effort and grit that the Raps showed will have
their fans at the ACC really become vocal again.
They fought and almost beat one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the league.
If they keep that intensity up, they will be winning a lot of games from now on.
