Magic defeat Raptors 104-93 *solid games for Bosh, Marshall, and Alvin *carter shot the ball well...but i can't emphasize enough on how much he has to look to be more selfish. In this game, he was being wayyyy too unselfish and it became really frustrating. A lot of times he had good looks that he could have easily knocked down, but he chose to pass instead. Also, as captain of the team, Carter has to demand the ball more if he wants to shine as an individual and more importantly, if he wants his team to win more games. *Jalen Rose....well, what can i say. Another poor performance by him. I really don't think he should be our pg every night. He'll have his good games, then completely lose his shot and his mentality the next, just like today's game. *The raptors failed to recognize who had the hot hand. Lue killed us late in the game and the Raps kept leaving him with good looks. KO's club is not sticking ti his game plans, their defense of late has become atrocious and instead of putting some focus on d, the majority of the time they're just thinking about scoring. *Another reason the Raps lost was because of the lack of support from Mo Pete. His defense wasn't that bad, but he just couldn't hit a shot. Raps should make the best of this 3 day holiday they have and be prepared to come back on a strong note. GO RAPS!!!
Missed it..but this game was winnable for the Raptors I am in no way surprised by Jalen Rose'spoor decisions. KO has to do something to make sure he slows his game down and isnt as impatient.
Is someone going to make a Clippers Raptors game thread??? Sorry, I suck at the preview stuff, thats why I'm leaving it to you guys. lol
