<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LeBron James stripped off his jersey, his wrist bands and head band for the Toronto fans as he walked off the Air Canada Centre court yesterday, right after he stripped the Raptors of their dignity. James exploded for 24 fourth-quarter points, shooting 4-for-5 from beyond the three-point line, to lift the Cleveland Cavaliers to a stunning 93-90 victory over the shell-shocked Raptors. The loss represented the biggest collapse at home in franchise history as the Raptors led by 20 points at one point. For three quarters, Toronto shooting guard Anthony Parker, who played one of the best all-around games of his NBA career, did a good job containing James, the NBA's leading scorer. But James took control in the fourth, shooting 8-for-10 from the field and by drawing double-teams, allowed his teammates, particularly Damon Jones and Devin Brown, to get wide open shots. He finished the game with 39 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. James, alone, outscored the Raptors 24-20 in the fourth. "The hoop felt like the ocean," said James, when asked about his fourth-quarter exploits. "Everything was going right for me and I just feel like I am out there by myself, like in practice when you are by yourself and working out." Parker said there is little you can do when James starts nailing contested threes.</div> The Toronto Sun
Sam Mitchell still hasn't learned how to get the ball out of a hot player's hands and force someone else to beat you. I remember this happened with Boston when KG went on a 4th quarter scoring spree. Mitchell refused to have his team double KG and get the ball out his hands.

I would call BC the greatest GM ever. Redd would be amazing on this team. I say Throw in a first round pick, Baston, Ford and maybe.
Michael Redd's contract doesn't justify what he brings to the table. OVERPAID! Toronto has plenty of scoring options, what they need is a defensive stopper and a backup PG regardless of TJ Ford's future.
I would NEVER want Redd on my team. I doubt any team with him as a main option will ever win anything.
