    ^ Not to mention he was 3 boards shy of a triple double.

    Do you all think this was fluke though? Was he consistent playing for Orlando? I haven't been paying attention to Strickland lately so I don't know if he's still good or not. I'm just hoping he can produce like this every night for the Raptors.

    I've watched Rod for a while I know he is capable of puttin up those stats.He has been underated his whole carrer.But he has played his best ball in his younger days.

    All I know about Strickland from watching him is that he can drop dimes like change falling out of his pocket. He can pass effectively in a half court set as well as on the break. I don't know why he hasn't played like this in Orlando, lets hope he can keep it up for Toronto.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting RipHamFan:</div><div class="quote_post">Was he consistent playing for Orlando?</div>

    Not really. But it's not his fault. First he is old now and just not anymore able of putting up every day good numbers. Besides that Orlando just sucked. When he came we were in the middle of a crisis and still are in some way. Our coach changed the lineups and rotations a lot and it's difficult for a PG to adapt to such circumstances.

    I wish him good luck in Toronto and thanks for his help with the Magic.

    He had a bunch of good games in Orlando it's just that we're so obsessed with Lue that he didn't get consistent minutes. He was our best PG BY FAR, when he was with us.

    He played 34 mins ...I did see the game it was awesome I've never doubted what he could do and I was waiting for a game like that to show Raptors fans I was telling the truth on their forum.

    He was capable of doing that here but didn't get enough minutes.

    Let me hit you with a couple of facts to show you what he has done througth his career.

    Scored his 14,000th career point, posting 12 points and a game-high 10 assists, against the Portland Trail Blazers on 1/18/03

    Notched his 6,000th career assist, posting 17 points, a game-high 12 assists and 7 rebounds, against the Milwaukee Bucks on 3/30/99

    Named to the 1997-98 All-NBA Second Team

    Led the NBA in 1997-98 with a career-high 10.5 apg and finished second in 1998-99 with 9.9 apg

    Also ranked 4th in the NBA in assists in 1995-96 (9.6 apg), 5th in 1991-92 (8.6 apg) and 1994-95 (8.6 apg) and 6th in 1993-94 (9.0 apg)

    Became the 25th player in NBA history to score 10,000 points and dish out 5,000 assists during the 1997-98 season

    Scored his 10,000th career point, posting 14 points and a game-high 16 assists, against the Houston Rockets on 12/27/97

    Ranked third in Trail Blazers' franchise history after 1995-96 season with 2,501 assists and tied a Trail Blazers' franchise record with 20 assists against the Houston Rockets on 3/30/96

    Named to the 1988-89 NBA All-Rookie Second Team after averaging 8.9 ppg and 3.9 apg for the Knicks

    hehe If he averaged what he used to average he'll be a top PG right now unfortunely we have to say Good Bye someday don't we MJ?
