Hawks lost 26 of their last 27 games. And their lonely win in this stretch came against your Toronto Raptors. Pape Sow making his first start as Marshall is out with strained achilles.
look for sow tro throw it down on josh smith! i sense something big from this guy! raps win, like it really matters though
Please don't let us lose to them again, I can take losing to anyone but the Hawks, they would've lost 26 of their last 28 games, with 2 wins vs the Raptors, that's just embarassing.
Raptors win 109-101 in OT, Mo and Jalen had good games, palacio did a pretty good job coming off the bench with 19, and although bosh didnt have the best game he stepped up in OT with the big block and had a decent night with a double-double.
Raptors win 109-101! Damn that game was scary. *wipes brow* MoPete was so nice at the end of the game, signing all those autographs for the fans. I've never ever seen that from an NBA player before. And Jalen threw his jersey into the crowd. I have to say, the crowd was one of the best I've seen all season. They didn't boo the Raps when we were losing terribly and I think they were definitely the "X-Factor" of the game.
wow @ this game, good job raptors for pulling it off and making everything a bit better....a tiny bit.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> TORONTO (CP) - Raptors coach Sam Mitchell wasn't about to let his team be embarrassed a second time. Jalen Rose scored 30 points to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 109-101 overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, rallying from a 19-point deficit after a halftime tongue-lashing from Mitchell. "I'm not going to say what I said," Mitchell said. "You can only imagine. . . it wasn't good." Morris Peterson added 26 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, while Rafer Alston finished with 21 points and eight assists for the Raptors (31-44), who narrowly avoided being humiliated by the lowly Hawks for the second time this season. </div> Source I got kinda pissed at this quote by Rafer: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"Coach really got on us, that's the coach I've been waiting for all season long, come in here and get on us, put some fire in our behinds and make us go out there and perform," Alston said about Mitchell's half-time lecture. "Coach really got on us, that's the coach I've been waiting for all season long, come in here and get on us, put some fire in our behinds and make us go out there and perform," Alston said about Mitchell's half-time lecture. </div>I mean you don't need a coach to put fire under your ass. YOU are responsible for that. I mean give me a break Rafer. The fact that you've been waiting all year for a coach to ride you and make you perform better is horrible.
