    lol, well maybe not yet. I think the Nets win a tie-breaker with us.

    So they need to lose 2 more games I think for us to clinch the division.

    Did you guys see Grant Hill pull Bosh? When they were broadcasting I thought that was a lame excuse by Leo, but they showed it slower on the post-game and I think I saw a little grab. It didn't really deserve a foul, but at least its not completely unwarranted.

    <div class="quote_poster">Chutney Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Man we got bailed out with that loose ball foul. I was yelling at them to foul at the end of the game, but we got up on Turkoglu and he missed the shot. Nice win.</div>

    What do you mean? Hill clearly grabbed Bosh's arm to prevent him from getting the rebound. Definite foul.

    Yea, I think you're right. They showed it again and I must've missed it originally. Good stuff.

    Maybe Arena-less as well [​IMG]

    Nice win for the Raps. Couldn't catch the game, but I'll be looking forward to them facing the Bulls soon. That should be a good one.

    Looks like M21's becoming a Raptors fan! LOL

    Anyways, pretty nice win by the Raptors. I can't believe we kept fouling Dwight when he was right under the basket. Really I see no point, if he's that close theres no stopping him. He got two and1's off of weak fouls.

    Does anyone else notice that TJ cuts it REAL close when bringing the ball over the half court line? When the shot clock is at 16 seconds, it's an 8 second violation and a turnover, and he JUST crosses the line at 17 seconds constantly. Why cut it so close? I don't get that? I noticed that so many times this game.

    This was a great game though...Raps kind of went away from team rebounding the way we had been, but we were still able to win.

    Bosh has been a MONSTER on the glass as of late. His rebounding has been phenomenal. He's playing like a superstar, and guiding the team to big wins when it really counts. We're blessed to have him.

    Juanny struggled a bit...but that really was his first rough game since he's been in Toronto. I'll expect him to play big for us in Philly.

    A win in Philly, and Raps go 10 games over .500! [​IMG]

    I notice that sometimes aswell. I don't understand why though.

    This game was down to the wire. When we kept fouling D12 I got concerned since he was getting and 1's all over the place. It's a good thing Hedo missed the 3.

    I think we have to start off games better. We seem to be always playing catch-up. We need to establish Bosh right away. If we can get Bosh the ball from the start, we'll be more successful since he can draw a double and throw it to the open man.
