I really think we have a chance in this game if we actually play with energy. We have a lot of good defenders that we can put Wade, and if the bench steps up I think we can pull off a victory against this struggling team.
april scott is an underrated hottie. anyways, raps lose 88-70. garbosa draws the defensive assignment against wade and chuck finds another way to perturb raptor nation.
garbosa defies all the stereotypes about euro players- he takes a whole bunch of chances on the defensive end, he likes penetrating and he's shot happy.

Sam Mitchell probably thought all that movement was "crazy" and insisted his players camp behind the arc, outside of their shooing range.
Yea, I definitely think he convinced them that moving off the ball isn't the "American way." The only reason I was thinking about watching this game was Andrea Bargnani, but he's playing poorly, so I think I might just study.
We're down by 20 at the half, which actually makes me kinda happy, because if we continue to play like crap we'll have a new guy behind the bench (possibly with a brain if we're lucky).

Who needs Phil Jackson when you've got a mastermind like Sam Mitchell coaching your team? Hey, that should be on my sig
looks as though people are done preaching how bosh sucks on the defensive end and how his isolations on offense take the team out rythm. Wow we are a horrible team without cb4.
