    EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- The Toronto Raptors madea statement in more ways than one.


    Chris Bosh scored 11 of his 14 points in a dominant secondquarter and Andrea Bargnani helped Toronto put on a shootingdisplay as the Raptors avenged last season's playoff loss with a106-69 rout over the New Jersey Nets.


    Juan Dixon made 5-of-10 shots en route to 14 points and JoseCalderon added 10 points and eight assists off the bench for theRaptors, who finished at 51 percent (39-of-77) and made13-of-22 shots from the arc.


    The Raptors are the defending Atlantic Division champions buthave been somewhat overlooked entering this season in a divisionthat contains the re-constructed Boston Celtics, the turbulentNew York Knicks and the star-laden Nets.


    But Toronto may have raised some eyebrows with the most-lopsidedroad victory and second most-lopsided overall victory infranchise history behind a 39-point win over Atlanta on April12, 2002.


    "We have to let people know we are still here," Bosh said."Eventually they are going to start talking about us, but wecan't worry about that. We know we are one of the top teams inthe division and we're not going to make it easy for everybody.We want to win too. We feel we are one of the best teams inthe East and we are going to play like it."


    "They showed why they are the division champs," Nets coachLawrence Frank said. "It's very disappointing to get beat as badas we did."


    The Raptors also avenged their loss to the Nets in the firstround of the playoffs last season, a series which culminatedwith a dramatic 98-97 loss here in Game Six.


    "That adds a lot to it," Bosh said. "Being in this building,that puts a significance factor to it. But this is a divisionopponent and they are a good team and one of the best teams inthe East."


    Bosh attempted just one shot in the first quarter but helpedToronto seize control in the second. He made 3-of-4 shots inthe period and capped it in dramatic fashion, when heintercepted a long inbounds pass from Jason Kidd and launched atwo-handed 55-footer as time expired that went in and gave theRaptors a 56-41 lead.


    T.J. Ford, Juan Dixon and Jose Calderon combined for 16 pointson 8-of-10 shooting in the quarter as the Raptors made 13-of-22shots.


    It was more of the same in the third quarter as the Raptors made9-of-17 shots while the Nets were just 5-of-17 from the floor.Toronto reeled off 18 straight points after New Jersey's NenadKrstic opened the second half with a jumper and pushed its leadto as many as 31.


    Bargnani made 7-of-11 shots overall and had 10 of his 21 pointsin the fourth quarter, when he made all four of his attempts.His 3-pointer with 7:30 left gave Toronto a 42-point lead,matching the largest in franchise history.


    "We want to work on staying on teams and not letting them backin the game and we did a great job of that tonight," Bosh said.

    Richard Jefferson scored 27 points, giving him 56 in two games,but Vince Carter was held to seven points and attempted just sixshots. Carter has made just 8-of-27 shots after two games andhas yet to display the offensive ability that made him theleague's eighth-leading scorer last season. Carter managedjust one point after the first quarter and none in the secondhalf against a Toronto defense that collected 10 steals and sixblocks.


    "In order to compete in the Eastern Conference you have to playdefense," Toronto coach Sam Mitchell said. "I didn't evenrealize what the score was because we were on our guys forplaying defense. We understand we have to get betterdefensively."


    Jason Kidd also struggled with two points on 1-of-5 shooting asthe Nets were held to just 37 percent shooting (25-of-68) andcommitted 19 turnovers.


    "We didn't show any energy after the first quarter," Kidd said."I don't have any answers. The only thing I can think of isthat maybe we thought it was open practice and didn't realizethat the season has started."


    New Jersey had an 18-11 lead less than eight minutes into thegame before Toronto scored 22 of the next 25 points, includingthe first 12 of the second quarter.


    The Nets were within 51-41 with 24 seconds left in the firsthalf, but Ford buried a fadeaway jumper with two seconds left.Kidd attempted a long inbounds pass to Krstic at the oppositeend but Bosh caught the pass at the top of the key and restoredthe 15-point lead.


    "It just looked good," Bosh said. "It just lined up with thegoal and I'm just happy it went in. I think it kind of sparkedus for the next half."

    "Collins vs Bosh will not bode well for the Nets."</p>

    That's not true at all. Collins held Bosh down in the playoffs -- and we barely needed to double team him. The only times we double teamed him was when Kidd cut down off Ford to try to snatch the ball from Bosh as he was posting up. Even if Bosh passes out of the double, Ford's jumper is lacking. I think we're going to try to funnel the points at the guard positions like we did in the playoffs. You Raptor fans remember the playoffs, right?</p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    I think you nets fans have forgotten that Toronto is the younger team and you guys are only getting older. Bargs is going to rip you guys apart with about 8 three's tonight. That's just the beginning. We won't have to go into the paint because it will be raining three's in the Meadowland tonight. I just hope Toronto goes easy on you guys with the three's. How you gonna defend that?</p>

    There, there, yes you're best team in the east.</p>

    "I think you nets fans have forgotten that Toronto is the younger team and you guys are only getting older."</p>

    That has nothing to do with anything I was saying. Obviously every team is getting older.</p>

    "How you gonna defend that?"</p>

    Apparantly, we are not.</p>

    And again, Collins know how to stop Bosh. Even Magloire was pestering him. But props on you signing a pact with the devil so you hit every jumper and never get called for hacks.</p>

    Don't sound so jilted man, but if you must talk you must talk, so here goes. Your big 3: Kidd is 34, Carter is 30 and Jefferson is 27 so that's an average of above the age of 30 for your stars on the other hand, Toronto's stars: Bosh is 23, Ford is 24 and Bargnani is 22, so that's an average of 23, so yes, your team is getting older, and have possibly already peaked. In fact, we just witnessed the beginning of old age. So sad.</p>

    Hey, I watch basketball and I know how Toronto plays, so as I said in the beginning, it's going to be raining three's in the meadowlands, so yes, as I was saying "how you gonna defend that" - cuz you can't (37 plus points). Toronto took game 6 personally, and we're going to continue to expose all of the Nets weakness in the next 3 games that we play. LOL.. go and cry. New York, Boston, and Chicago will take the Nets apart anyways, maybe even philly too (nah, I`ll give you guys that one).. LOL</p>

    It`s all about the depth and teamwork, and the Nets don`t have it.</p>

    Oh, and by the way, those so-called hacks that you talk about were all Delfino blocks and steals.. don`t hate.. LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace out.</p>

    That`s true for Toronto, but hold on, what makes you Nets fans think that you`re getting to the playoffs in the first place. Toronto will be there to at least compete, but I don`t think you guys are getting there. Don`t hold your breath. The East is too strong, and the Nets are old and weak.</p>

    Oh and Boston will get their first defeat on Sunday, book it.</p>

    When did I ever say playoffs? I never did but it's got to be assumed somewhere since we have only made it to the playoffs how many years in a row? Raptors competing is nice but after you've made the playoffs once, you can't use playoff experince as an excuse every year.</p>

    Winning the Atlantic doesn't proove much. You can chirp all you want about this game but your team has never seen the finals and lost to this team in the playoffs as a higher ranked team.</p>

    You gave us Carter and that;s the biggest part of your game you were missing in the series against us. Ouch.</p>

    We do take loosing graciouslly but we don't think we should hit the panic button because we lost. You are the fans that chirp the regular season just like Rockets fans.</p>

    Repeat; I'd rather have a decent past then pretending about the future.</p>

    You know what Universe. Everything you say is true, but this is the second phase of our building process and we`re doing quite well. We had just reached the playoffs for the first time with our new unit last year, and this year rookie Bargs is now a sophomore, TJ is a bit better, and Chris is still not the same Chris since the injury. I guess what I`m trying to say is that Toronto has tonnes of upside and New Jersey is exactly how it`s been in the last 3 years with Kidd, Carter and Jefferson. So we`ll see what happens this year in the playoffs. No disrespect to NJ, but you guys aren`t any better from last year. In fact, without Moore you guys are worse and Toronto has gotten better. So say what you will.. okay....... okay....... okayyyyyyyyyy..........</p>

    Winning the Atlantic doesn't proove much. You can chirp all you want about this game but your team has never seen the finals and lost to this team in the playoffs as a higher ranked team.</p>

    Boo burns.</p>

    You ever notice that no one really listens to old people, much less teams. Man, you Nets fans are sad. We give you Carter, and you still cant take losing graciously. Live for the future, not the past. LOL.. now go and cry. Boo back.. LOL</p>

    </p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    You gave us Carter and that;s the biggest part of your game you were missing in the series against us. Ouch.</p>

    We do take loosing graciouslly but we don't think we should hit the panic button because we lost. You are the fans that chirp the regular season just like Rockets fans.</p>

    Repeat; I'd rather have a decent past then pretending about the future.</p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    You know what Universe. Everything you say is true, but this is the second phase of our building process and we`re doing quite well. We had just reached the playoffs for the first time with our new unit last year, and this year rookie Bargs is now a sophomore, TJ is a bit better, and Chris is still not the same Chris since the injury. I guess what I`m trying to say is that Toronto has tonnes of upside and New Jersey is exactly how it`s been in the last 3 years with Kidd, Carter and Jefferson. So we`ll see what happens this year in the playoffs. No disrespect to NJ, but you guys aren`t any better from last year. In fact, without Moore you guys are worse and Toronto has gotten better. So say what you will.. okay....... okay....... okayyyyyyyyyy..........</p>

    </p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    I have to agree with you too. Raptors a year older is scaries espcailly with Sam at the controls but if you think loosing Moore hurts us, you never have seen a fully healthy Krstic along with the big three. Like the Raptors last year, we were with new players and just getting use to everything. You can only really chirp us if in the middle of the season we are fully below .500 because then we are even below many predictions for us which is a dissipointment to us fans but we realize what we have from our strong points and our weak points.</p>

    Besides one or two posters, every Net fan on this board has reacted to this loss gracefully. Maybe your opinion would hold water if you took winning gracefully too.</p>

    You'd also be more credible if your Raptors didn't get their season handed to them on a silver platter last year. Who were on those teams? Your young "big three", and our old one. Yep.</p>

    Yep, you`re old big three have just gotten older. I thought we were done with this post. Me and Universe had a conversation with each other a while ago, and we just settled it. No need to bring up this same argument again. In any case, see you guys again on Feb 13. We hate Carter, not New Jersey.. LOL.. don`t get involved.. LOL</p>

    A word of advice: if you don't want other people to get involved in a one-on-one conversation, you might not want to use a message board </p>

    I would imagine our big three got older. I would imagine everyone in the NBA gets older after one year.</p>

    see ya the 13th</p>

    Wow, I listen to the game on radio so I guess I missed the intros where NJ's team was replaced by little sister's high school team. To loose is one thing but to loose that bad at home after a big win, well I guess that's what you deal with when building your team around "older" superstars.</p>

    Cal-Ju-Delf, is going to be a killer combo. Talk about stepping on a team's throat and just deciding not to let them back in it. The Raps D just killed Jersey tonight, no other way to say it.</p>

    My play of the game; alley-op to Bargnani.</p>

    Jersey has a lot of work to do if they think a performance like last night will get the team anywhere this season. It got so bad McNugg almost suited up.</p>

    The idea of cross listinga game thread is outright stupid. It's only going to lead to the type of pissing fest we're seeing currently. This website reaks of stupid features.</p>

    Great performance, but i'll be a little more relieved when Bosh comes out for a game and puts up 25-10.</p>

    We're trying to figure out the best way to do it, but yea I agree with you. I'll definitely be creating a seperate game thread for the Celtics thread and we can just leave the Sportsticker thread for reference (until we figure out a good place for it, that'll keep it out of the way).</p>
