The Raptors game and the Nets game(through 3 quarters) both at home. I will go out on a limb and say we are the worst team in the NBA.
Deffinatly shouldn't be losing to teams like the Raptors. I don't know about that but yeah they need to play better against those type of teams. Hill is back so no more excuses.
Below average? Yes. Worst team? No. We are still better than the Hawks, Bobcats and the Knicks. I also think we are better then the Raptors and we just had an off night. Let's stay positive and maintain that "we can make the playoffs" attitude. Also, this Nets game isn't over yet. Were only down by 3 points right now and we can still come back and win this one. GO MAGIC!
Losing to the Raptors at home and losing to the underachieving Nets AT HOME doesn't say much about your team especially after HIll comes back and you lose an emotional heartbreaker vs one of hte best teams in the NBA. We needed to win 5 out of 6 at home in this stretch to even talk about playoffs.
The Raptors wooped the Rockets tonight, 94-81. Maybe the Toronto is getting better and we don't suck so bad!

Those five are 3/5 of the whole Rockets rotation right there. When you also have a Tracy McGrady looking the least bit interested on offence, and a rookie guard taking 17 shots, you're bound to lose. "Wooped" is also the wrong word. The Rockets stayed in the game for the first three quarters and lack of execution lost them the game. Wasn't a blowout by any means. The Hawks beat San Antonio, does that mean they're getting better? The Magic aren't that good, plain and simple.

All I saw was the box score and tried to raise a few spirits around here. It wasn't anything against your team and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

(I live in Toronto, remember) Even though the box score indicated the Raptors won by 13 and though the Rockets never took the lead, we were nipping on Toronto's heels for all of the first three quarters. We were never down by anything more than 10 in the first three quarters, I think, and Toronto had to keep its best players on the court most of the time. That isn't "wooped". Swish15, didn't mean to call you out. Just a bit frustrated at the way things are going for Houston, that's all.
