    <div align="center">[​IMG]. If we manage to run our offense efficiently and box out on defense we can give ourselves a chance. If you see Juan Dixon guarding Melo in the post turn your TV off before it gets too painful.

    TJ with 8PTS and 8AST in 11 minutes. Crazy.

    Raps pretty much dominated the whole game. Lets hope Bosh is ok though.

    So the Raptors win one and the Nets lose one. Magic number is now 7.

    Nice game by Mo Pete and Garbo tonight. When our role players step up like that, we're always in for a big game. TJ came up big again. 14 assists to just one turnover.

    Man, I was listening to the game on the radio and I just couldn't get a mental picture of what they were announcing. I'm going to have to watch the replay tomorrow, because 72 points in the first half and a lockdown defensive effort on a team like the Nuggets is hard to believe.

    You can actually sign up for NBA league pass online and they give you a live TV feed of the game. It says blackout applies in some areas but I had no problem getting the game today.

    Listening to the othe Nuggets play by play guys today was great and it made me realize how stupid our guys can be sometimes. Not only did they provide good analysis of what was happening but they avoided knocking the raptors for no reason. Swirsky on the other hand is making fun of the Knicks when we are getting spanked by 20 points. Even if the other team has flaws I don't really care to hear our guy complain about it. And i should mention even though Denver was getting blown out most of the game, they still actually called it instead of having a conversation in the back ground that had little to do with what was happening on the court.

    Man, we can only dream...

    But, I was actually in my car at the time, so I was stuck with Paul Jones and Eric Smith (not bad, but nothing special either).

    Bosh sprained his ankle... does anyone know how long he's out? the injury bug seems to have hit our team.

    Why is it always the ankle? It's like we're mimicking the Lakers.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The one bit of bad news on an otherwise feel-good night was Bosh's injury, especially considering the rash of ankle problems that have befallen the Raptors.

    ``Luckily it was on a jump shot, it's not bad, so I'm fortunate for that,'' said Bosh.

    The injury wasn't without its controversy, since Evans had stepped under Bosh when the Raptors forward was in the air shooting _ if it's intentional, it's a dirty and potentially dangerous play.

    ``It wasn't intentional or anything like that,'' Evans insisted. ``We're all just playing ball.''

    Bosh was walking after the game, and had experienced no swelling. He also said he could have returned to the game if the score had been closer. </div>

    sounds good. hopefully bosh will be back in time for the next game.

    At least he didn't grab Bosh's nuts.

    Actually, that's better than having Bosh injured.

    That reminds me of the Bill Simmons article on that incident and how he said that Evans has to live with going into every arena and being called "nut grabber" (or something similar) for the rest of his career. That's gotta suck [​IMG]

    He's listed as day to day, and will likely be able to play monday against Boston. A game where the raps will go to 8 games over .500 and take 3rd spot in the east! [​IMG]

    This game was enjoyable to watch. I don't think anyone would have predicted such a pasting on the Raps part against a team with some serious firepower like Denver. Course Denver have been struggling all season, but they're obviously a deadly team, and can pose some problems. Any time you got a former MVP in Iverson, and Melo on the court at the same time, you figure they're gonna score some points...they really laboured.

    Both the Nets and the Knicks lost...they're now 7 and 8 games behind of us respectively. Knicks should have lost on the road against Cleveland, but if the Nets are trying to make a push for the playoffs, they need to beat teams like Orlando. I think the Nets are only going for the 8th playoff spot, and pretty much have given up on the Division...I don't think there is ANY way the Nets can over take the Raps at this point.

    The Knicks are just garbage, they're going back to the lottery. It's so comforting knowing the Isiah's contract got extended. With him running the show in NY, and the Nets headed for a blow-up and rebuild, the Raps have a strangle hold on the Atlantic division for a few years to come. If the Nets lose tonight in Charlotte, I say that's it for them.

    The papers are saying Rasho gave a little payback to Evans. It was a hard foul to his mouth that made him bleed a little. I totally missed it, though.

    I saw the play... there is no way Reggie Evans did that on purpose. It was unlucky that he got his foot under raptors players twice in the same game. Even with Bowen he is recklessly aggressive and that might be why these things happen to him so often. But with Evans it was just pure bad luck.

    Now if he had grabbed bosh by the balls ...

    WOW, WE WON?
    I must say I'm really surprised. I was bragging to my family how that I was lucky I wasn't gonna watch the massacre that would've happen to the Raps, haha.

    Well, I hear it was a great game. I watched a little part of the game from a live feed on the internet. It was really nice to see Mo-Pete light it up and have a good game. This game really got him out of his long slump. That's what I wanna see from him in the playoffs. By the look of the highlights, Kris Humphries had a couple nice blocks [​IMG]. Only downfall was the Bosh incident. From what I saw, it didn't look intentional. It happens all the time.

    7 (You Raptor fans should know what the means [​IMG] )
