Yeah whenever he is confident on the floor he is special to watch, I cant believe he made that last three that pass from Calderon was nearly by his knees but he still managed to make the shot with the defender in his face.
Is Moon still on the floor? I havnt noticed him all game and when I have it is either a horrible miss from the field or an air ball, im getting tired of this guy fast...like where is the intensity he brought when he first played for the Raptors?? Parker is a dissapointing today!! THe thing I noticed about Detriot is all their players can post their man up and finish! Also everyone from the Pistons has the ability to create their own shot off the dribble, something the Raptors cant do except for a handful of players.
Wow, they came back to down 8. And then Maxiell put tears in Mitchell's eyes. Sheesh. At least the Raps are doing better than the Nets vs. the Pistons.
This game showed our huge fault in half court sets. Not only did Detriot beat us, they just showed why they win championships and more then 50 games and we don't. I can't say we didn't play hard, because we did, but I can say we need to work on half court sets. The beginning of the fourth just killed us. The bench players did nothing tonight and showed be getting a good yell from Sam. We need our bench to win because while we have good players, we wren't Boston. We don't have 3 all-stars who will win us game. We need a complete effort from the whole team. On a side note, great game for Il Mago. I would of liked to see more rebounds, but his points were up.
Bargnani was obviously the hot hand tonight, yet the Raptors chose not to go to him numerous times. I don't understand how they didn't get him the ball and ride him as far as he could get them. Bargnani was the reason the Raptors were close through the first 3 quaters IMO and when they stopped going to him, they seemed like they weren't making up ground or even keeping up. I just don't understand how the coach can live with Moon taking 3's & Bosh shooting 18 footers when the guy that was scoring tonight was Bargnani.
Great game, really enjoyed watching the Pistons backcourt play together. I didn't know there were that many Detroit fans in T.O., me and a couple of guys tried yelling "SHEED" at the beginning when he got some touches, but it was weak and no one followed along lol. I also heard Stephen A. Smith did a lot of hating on Bargs. What a moron, I thought he already learnt his lesson.
meh is right thief. Smith was right, w/o TJ, teams can stack the perimeter because they know the Raps won't use the lane. I really thought the team had a chance in this one but this ain't a Disney movie and the skinny kids didn't prevail. The frontcourt was decent - still not impressed with much out of the backcourt though. Even Jose jacked up some horrible shots (a no chance three with Wallace on him when he should have dished to Bosh in the post with Billups covering).
