Raptors are up by 8 with 1:49 left in the 1st as I'm writing this.Some notes: Rasho has been on fire so far. His jump shot has been money, and he has scored a few downlow too. Get this - He's on pace to get 40 lol. 20 would be a pretty good feat for Rasho.Bosh's jumper has been ice cold. He's 1-5. His one fg was on an easy alley oop dunk. Im worried about his shot. It's been off the past 2 days. He needs to get to the line, or do something to get us some scores.Fred Jones just came in and knocked down a jumper and a 3, as quick as that. Hopefully, he can give us some offense todayTJ Ford passed the ball well, and left with 3 assists with 5 mins to go in the 1st after picking up his 2nd foul. He needs to stay out of foul trouble.Some more notes at halftime:Mo Pete played in his first game since being sidelined with the elbow injury 8 or so games back. He hit one 3, and had one steal for a basket at the end of the half. Pretty good start.Fred Jones starting to shoot too many jumpers in my opinion..Jorge Garbajosa is now right on target from 20 feet. He hit a few jumpers in the closing minutes of the half..
I coudlnt watch this again due to the fact I dont have Raps NBA TV, anyways, I read up on it, It seems both his kness are bothering him, his legs are really messed right now.We were close, missed a couple threes at the end, wow, it looked real bad on the replay. But the problem is the ball was supposed to go to Peterson, Gabrajosa, two people who dont know how to shoot the 3 well. We need a consistent shooter, espcially at the SG spot.

Peterson is a top 20 3pt shooter in the League. I dont know what youre talking about here. Mo is very capable of hitting a three. He just took an off-balance shot..The Bulls are on a 7 game winning streak. Atleast we were right in this one, and we almost won it. Luol Deng just went off on us..We play Portland next. We need to beat them by 10-20 to get our confidence back up. I dont think we'll have any problems with them.

(Last year was 39.5%) I think people give him too much credit, hes first shot is not a three, its a jump shot/sometimes a drive.
So he shot close to 40% last year, and you dont think he can hit threes? You need to go see a pshychiatrist..Mo shot 40% because he took alot of attempts. And surprise, surprise, 40% ties him at 21st on the 3pt percentage leaders for last year. And you realize that there are guys on there ahead of him like Hamilton, Lue, Charlie Bell, and Nate Robinson who took like 1/4 amount of attempts than what Mo took.That was a retarded post.

He only took 448 shots last year, thats 5 a game. He made 177 last year, that he means he made 2 a game. That doesn't mean he shot alot, means he scored little. This year though he is way below that. and he has lot his "3 point shooter" status, no way he is he in the top now, but theres the rest of the season to find out.

Please tell me where you are getting your numbers from. Wow, you just pulled that out of your ass, man. That makes no sense at all. He shot a ton more than others on that list, so obviously his percentage will take a hit. If he only shot like 150 threes like some others on that list, his percentage would be up around 44-45 no doubt. And dude, he's played like 10 games this year and got off to a slow start, and youre looking at his percentages? Give me a break..

WTF is your point? Peterson is a great 3pt shooter, and you just made an ass out of yourself by saying that he is not capable of making 3's.Case closed.

You know his shot is off this year, and you can argue with me all you want, but he is not living up to his status right now. Period. Until he does regain his status, Ill glady change my opinion, but until then, No.
He's played 11 games this year, man. You know that his shooting will get back up again. He started off the season slowly, but he will have hot streaks too.And who else would you rather have on the court? Fred Jones? Please..
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Suddenrapz16 @ Dec 12 2006, 05:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>actually jones isnt bad</div>Fred is capable, but very inconsistent. Mo is a top notch 3 point shooter, and Raptorfan made a stupid comment.
