- Thumbs Up:
- It may have been stressful at times, but give this team credit for getting back on the winning track without 3 key members in Hedo Turkoglu, Jose Calderon, and DeMar DeRozan.
Thumbs Down:
- Toronto started the 2nd quarter by giving up a 20-2 run to New Jersey and the Raptors flirted with disaster against a 4-43 (now 4-44) team
Smith Says:
- “I know the second quarter didn’t look pretty, but overall this was a good character win for Toronto … including some impressive performances at the 2-3 from Weems and Wright.”

How about
SONNY WEEMS! and ANTOINE WRIGHT!
They played great!!!
Can’t wait to see Tyreke Evans on Sunday!!!
- Raps FanFYI … I’m not sure what is already out there … but what I’m hearing RE: Calderon is he has a mild grade 1 sprain. His status is day to day.
- Eric SmithThey should let him heal fully before coming back. Although it’s nothing like the hamstring tear he had last year, we know what happens when you force someone back too soon.
- Mr.CuriousYou get someone that never quite gets back to the level they can play at for the rest of the season.
Also, Jose doesn’t have the greatest lateral quickness, and having a sprained ankle surely won’t help.
Ice ice baby…I was there and was ready rip on Vanilla, but it wasn’t half bad! I can’t believe people were cheering him!
Good win for the raps. Even though it wasn’t a good game, these are the games they can’t let get away.
- RoAgreed that Calderone needs to sit until he has his full abilities. I don’t want to see him have to come back not at full team and watch opposing guards blow by him, although he’d be sheltered somewhat in the 2nd unit.
Get healthy, Jose we need you down the stretch.
Contrast last night’s TEAM win with the previous Bosh/Bargnani show where they drain 80 and the team loses.
Anotehr character builder showingthis team does not panic. Remember I urged them not to start in a big first Q hole or collapse from a big lead in the 3rd? We’ll they found another way to give us heartburn.
A win is a win.
- GaryEric,
What are your thoughts on that report on Yahoo about the new Nets owner possibly going after BC? I say there’s no chance BC would want to leave a dynamic market like Toronto for NJ, even if they end up in Brooklyn.
- Mikego ninja go ninja go
- TomGfromBramptonWhy would any team want to hire Bryan Colangelo?
Three seasons in Toronto. 0 playoff series wins.
I don’t get it.
Although, with BC’s history in the league, he could probably take NJ and turn it into a definite 20, maybe 25 , win team.
