    Charlotte did their part. So are the Warriors. The Blazers must do the same.

    I almost always agree with you and that theory, but my confidence is low on this one.

    The Raptors will make some runs. The Blazers may want this to get a win at home, probably not. Chauncey will sit guys late as he usually does to allow the opponent to come back.

    Raptors hit 2 shots. Coach Billups calls timeout, he wants a monster win.

    Is it technique or has it got into his head?

    Lamar saying that Toronto is 2nd in the league in assist percentage. Adding to the many years of data showing there is no correlation between assists and winning.

    In fact, the top four teams in assist percentage are all in the bottom half of their conferences.

    Scoot looking so sharp. I hope they get everyone out of his way to start next season.

    He knows how to take a good three. I don't know that it's really technique. More so not adjusting after catching the pass and taking the shot too quick to avoid defense. So maybe a little in his head. I think sometimes it's focus as well. He catches and thinks about passing. Needs to focus on the shot more.

    Toronto looks set to lose every game the rest of the year. Top 6 keeps their pick

    Yeah, I'm not seeing how we lose this game. What a horrific trade on their part.

    I guess we find out if the team wants to tank or win after this half.
