I was a bit underwhelmed by the Bosh address (thought he could have offered a bit more optimism for next year if you’re just gong to do a 15 second “we know it’s been a tough year”) but good for him for standing up.
A nice win to reward the fans. Hopefully they close out strong and we can see the long awaited big changes over the Summer.
As I mentiond the other day, O’Bryant has given Raptor management something to think about for those nights when Bargs gets early foul trouble. It wasn’t too many weeks ago when that was a regular occurance.
- GaryGreat win but, hope they lose the rest of the games! because they need Blake Griffen or Ricky Rubio or James Harden!
- Raps FanGreat intensity and fight for the final game! Nice games for Parker, O’Bryant, Calderon. Finish out at leas the home season on an up note!
- AndreaRaps Fan….Blake Griffin is gonna be a number 1 overall pick. Ricky Rubio can join Portland and I’m sure they will do great with him by their side. The Raptors need to gun after Earl Clark, DeMar DeRozan and whatever guys they can capture in the draft.
