"I have returned!"

 
With their seventh straight home win, the Toronto Raptors jumped to five games above .500.  And in the Raps' 115 to 104 win over the Kings, Franchise noted a few key factors behind Toronto's sudden surge in the standings.

Raptors Rapid Recap - Toronto 115 - Sacramento 104


-With a 115 to 104 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Superbowl Sunday, the Toronto Raptors win their seventh straight at home and jump to five games over .500. 

-Chris Bosh led the way again for the Raps with 36 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, but he also got some help on O from Andrea Bargnani (22 and 8) and "the Ottoman," Hedo Turkoglu, who despite wearing his Zorro mask, chipped in 16 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds before fouling out.

-With off days by Jarrett Jack, Jose Calderon and Amir Johnson, it was Antoine Wright who again played a pivotal role off the bench in the win.  Along with a huge 16 point, 5 rebound and 4 assist game (including an uber-efficient 6 of 7 from the field), his defence, along with that of Sonny Weems and Chris Bosh, turned the tide in the middle of the fourth quarter, and the Raps ran away with it from there.

-This was no walk in the park however.  Much like last Wednesday's match against the Nets, the Raptors let their opponent hang around and Sacto actually led in fourth quarter at several points.  The Kings got great bench production from the likes of Sean May, Andres Nocioni and Beno Udrih, but down the stretch couldn't get stops, and displayed some horrid shot selection.  Kevin Martin in particular did his best "chucker" impersonation scoring 24 points, but on 7 of 18 shooting.  And rookie stud Tyreke Evans started strong, but just wasn't a factor in the second half with Martin dominating the shots.  Tyreke (or, Tyrekeee, as Jack Armstrong pronounced it all game) finished with only 11 points.

-Up next - final game before the All-Star break where the Dinos take on the Philadelphia 76ers.  Philly has been playing much better of late, winning four straight, so Toronto can't expect to waltz through the game like they did this afternoon.  The team might be the healthiest it's been all season however as not only will DeMar DeRozan, Hedo Turkoglu and Jose Calderon be in the line-up for the second straight match (all played today), but Marco Belinelli should be rested up from his ankle sprain, and...drum roll...Reggie Evans may finally be ready to return to take on his old mates.

It's Superbowl Sunday, but before the big game the Raps have a matinee affair against the rebuilding Sacramento Kings.

The Raps need to take care of business before settling in for some wings, chicken fingers and a few cold ones.

With the All-Star festivities just around the corner there is lots to be excited about as a Raps fan. Chris Bosh will be playing in the big game while Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan (if healthy) will be lacing them up for a chance to become the 2010 NBA Dunk Champion.

A long time ago the Raps had one of those...

The Raptors make home court a scary place to play for their opponents. The New Jersey Nets sure did give them a run for their money from the opening tip but the worst team in the league knew they were going to get disappointed sooner rather then later!  The temptation to tank the entire season has already occurred for this team! They have talent but they are on their way to becoming the worst team in the win/loss column in league history!

Pacers call for revenge succeeds maybe because of the substitute Lester Canner in place of the absence Jim O'Brian who allowed his team to have alittle fun. They sure did get lose as seven players scored in double figures. It did result in a wasted opportunity put on by the Killer Bs. Let's just say mom was right there are always days like this.
