Nice preview. End of the first... dare i say Sam Mitchell is out coaching Van Gundy? T-mac is getting his points but the Huston offense has no flow. I think we should be able to win this one provided we keep up the tough d in the second half.
Competitive game so far. Raps gain some momentum going into the half with Mike James few baskets and Graham's 3 with 0.2 secs left. Speaking of Mike, anyone see the incident with Howard(got tossed). Juwan looked like a mad man. I wonder what Mike James said after he scored. He screamed "and one!" but said stuff after with his energy high after the basket.
Nice game so far. The Raps are unconscious right now and Mo Pete is playing nice hitting two three's and getting an and one over Mutombo.

Holy crap, the Raptors were on fire tonight. Alston must not have felt very good afterwards. He had an ineffective night against his old team, and the guy he got traded for torched us.
yes.. if we can overcome in the nets game, there's no saying how far we can go and can probably pull off a good streak and into the...*ahem*...playoff picture?
awesome game by Mike James, 30 points 7 rebs 8 assists. We were rotating well, and had fairly good coverage on Tmac. Mo Pete's shot over Dekembe was nice. Dekembe was rebounding well, 13 rebs for the old guy. Is it just me, or has Mo Pete actually developed some consistency? Jack or Chuck pointed out that Mo Pete has scored double digits in 17 of the last 18 games not including tonight. He had 19 tonight. Mo Pete seems like he has matured a little, maybe is considered kind of a veteran for the Raps?
Raptors within 2.5 games of 8th spot lol is it possible? will the Raptors played a great game Mike James was on fire Bosh had a good game after foul trouble in the other game next game against the nets who have won 9 in a row...
YAY RAPS ONE! are we home for the nets game? i think we can make a run. next few teams, new york charlotte
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting a13x:</div><div class="quote_post"><font size="6">Mike Jaammmes !!</font></div> mann, you guys, it took way too long for that response. only one "WHO!?" should be required. and an awesome game for the Raptors. We have and are continuiong to gain momentum. If NJ doesn't bring their absolute best, the crwod wil only help us next game. I think we are gonna get our 20-30 wins for sure for this season, but I think calling playoofs is hoping for just a bit much(you know..). I wonder how many peopel are gona hop on the bandwagon...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting P.A.P.:</div><div class="quote_post"> He's filling up Milt's shoes.</div> Ummm .. let's not give him THAT much credit!
Great game by the Raptors. Mike James has clearly showed that he'll make the Rockets pay for trading him. I hope he won't opt out his contract and continues to play for the Raptors in his third and final year next season otherwise it would mean big bucks for the cost-cutting Raptors in order to resign him for long term this summer with the way he has been playing. If he could help turn around the Raptors this season he'll surely opt out and become one of the prized free agents in the offseason.
I know James is playing for a contract right now but he has really impressed me. He the best point guard we've had since Stoudamire. I hope we have a chance to resign him and he doesn't forget the opportunity we're giving him right now.
