It’s on the Score now, tipping in 10.

Tonight
It’s going to be interesting to see how the Raps come out here after last night’s loss. A good start is a must.

They had a good start against the Lakers
I prefer a good finish :)
But ya, I know what you mean

Wow. Crazy scenario but imagine if the Celtics fell right out of the playoffs??

No kidding haha. I never thought the C’s would be this bad, even with injuries. I really thought Daniels and Wallace would be a boost.

I had a lengthy post about my observations from Staples Center last night
But something happened to it.
Anyways, Bosh 3 was one of my favorite live sporting moments I’ve ever seen. And there’s something amazing about hearing 20,000 people gasp when they see Jose lining up an open 3 in the final minute.
Jack was the best Raptor on the floor last night by far. It wasn’t close. Amazing game.
You were there?
You weren’t the punk in the front row who took the ball from Jose were you?

Wasn't great
But we got some calls early on — refs let a brutal travel by #7 go on a dunk.

No reason this shouldn’t be a resounding Raptors win.

Another of my fav moments from last night:
Laker fan near me, yelling, after another Weems jumper, “somebody guard that guy!”

Calls
I thought there were about as many bad calls in each direction, but the early foul trouble on Wright and Hedo really hurt us in the 3d quarter.
3d quarter felt like Lakers were going to score every time they touched the ball. They really could smell that the Raptors were scrambling, and that as a result every offensive board was up for grabs.
by Aaron Craig on Mar 10, 2010 10:22 PM EST up reply actions
More on Lakers
Odom was quoted today about how much the Raptors were talking trash, and about how the Lakers’ “aura” is “soft”
I gotta believe...
it was Wright.

Devlin is painful
But that anecdote about Bosh saying ‘hell no’ when asked about coming to Sactown was pretty funny.
by RaptorsHQ - Defensive Stance on Mar 10, 2010 10:23 PM EST reply actions
Oh god… forget it… did he just refer to Bosh as ‘Boshy Bosh’ or am I hearing things?
by RaptorsHQ - Defensive Stance on Mar 10, 2010 10:24 PM EST up reply actions
Such a dumb shot. Does anyone else get the feeling that he’s too smart for his own good sometimes?? Hey Turk, instead of trying to trick your man into a foul, how about attacking the basket and forcing the call to be made???

Hedo has been rewarded with a ridiculous contract (his last big NBA contract) and has no reason to put forth effort or work on his game. We’ll get to watch an overpaid hack with the intensity of a guy playing pickup at the Y for the next 5 years. Awesome.

No respect from Kobe
Quotes from Kobe after the game were to the effect that the Lakers played a horrible game. I think we’re just a tough matchup for them, for whatever reason — lack of Lakers depth, bad defense at the 1, whatever.
Saw that. Lakers looked like they were just going through the motions in the first half.

Who gives a crap
Difference between NCAA and NBA is so huge now — anybody who’s any good leaves after one year. Maybe it’s that the LA schools are having a down year, I dunno. I’ve just always been an NBA guy.

2 hands reggie
These tip back rebounds are not always so effective.
Inside scoring
Toronto should be going inside on almost every possession here. Kings are undersized and lack mobility from a lot of their “bigs.”
by RaptorsHQ - Franchise on Mar 10, 2010 10:40 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Was that a zone?
I couldn’t tell. Another area where Devlin sucks.
Hedo
Holds the ball way too long on offence. Drives me nuts. Thank goodness Jay left Sonny in.

If the Raps lose this game...
… it will be because they stopped going inside for easy buckets, started chucking ridiculous outside shots, and failed to play any defence.

Halftime Thoughts
45 to 40 Toronto…but hardly a convincing lead for the Raps. Team has been ok, but against most other teams in the league they’d be down. In the second half Toronto needs to get back to pounding the ball inside like they did early in the game.
by RaptorsHQ - Franchise on Mar 10, 2010 11:06 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Sacramento's visitors locker room
Man, that shot of the Raps crowded in the visitors locker room was super jokes. It’s like they’re chilling at a high school, not an NBA arena. LOL

I don't know if anybody caught pre-game on Raps TV last night.....
but you know how they show all the players as they walk into the arena. Well our boy Hedo is shown getting a drive in on a golf cart! I kid you not. The only thing that would’ve made it more perfect is if he had a slice of pizza in one hand and a Sprite in the other.
Priceless

I can understand how a Raps fan feel that way.
But from a Kings POV (which I possess naturally), it’s nice to see how the Kings came out in the 3rd. TO is a playoff team, and on more nights will be better than the Kings this year, but still it makes little difference. TO’s weaknesses were routinely exploited in that 3rd qtr.
