Cavs up 56/54 after 3 James has 17, 1, and 5 Vince still stick on 3 on 1-10 shooting Bosh suffered a knee strain and will not return.
Ouch, didn't know that. If Ilgauskas wasn't in foul trouble, he could've easily tooken over the game.
Cavs played like a bunch of p*ssies tonight. Fast jump shots Not taking advantage of their size Not boxing out Not attacking the basket No defensive rotation Losing this game is an embarrassment, this was the worst showing of the season, I am disgusted with the Cavaliers. 75/69 Raptors win
Horrible game all around, but pretty much what I expected. This team seems to be satisfied with winning one game out of every 2 or 3. They play a decent game one night and it almost seems like they don't bring any intensity or sense of urgency in the next game. Lebron fired up way too many ill advised outside shots in the 2nd half. We didn't take advantage of Z's size, even when Bosh went out. Instead we had him shooting midrange shots off picks. Unbelievable. Boozer played sloppy and our defensive rebounding was non existent. When Carter has such an off night as does pretty much the whole Raptors squad and you can't capitalize on it, there isn't much you can do, but hang your head and walk off the court in shame.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Vince Carter scored 11 of his 14 points in the final eight minutes, including a clinching windmill dunk with 21 seconds left in the Toronto Raptors' 75-69 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Carter was 1-for-12 from the field and hadn't scored since the first quarter before putting Toronto ahead on a 3-pointer with 7:34 left. After LeBron James missed a jumper with less than a minute left, Alvin Williams grabbed the rebound and found Carter downcourt for a dunk that gave Toronto a 73-67 lead. James had 21 points and five assists but shot 2-for-8 with no assists in the fourth quarter. Donyell Marshall added 14 points and 13 rebounds and Lonny Baxter had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Raptors, who have won four of five. Toronto rookie center Chris Bosh didn't return after straining his right knee midway through the third quarter. Bosh landed awkwardly while going for a rebound, clutching his knee before asking to come out.</div> Full Story Box Score
I am shocked. They just went dead in that 4th quarter. Nice win Raptors. I think the Cavs will rebound from this one though.
At least they played defense. Hopefully they will bounce back next game. Lebron doesn't want the team to look that bad ever again, so he will likely come out hot.
hmmm.... bad game, but we just got to live with it, last year we was the worst team in NBA, this year, we would just be second worst or even higher at the standings
