Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Were playing pretty good offensively so far but I would wanna see the Raptors take more of an effort on the defensive side of the game and grabbing those defensive rebounds which just lead to second chance points. Its like were either really good defensively one game and then really good offensively the next but never together!

Anyways I think Calderon is playing really well so far and if TJ continues to play like he did in the first half I would seriously prefer Calderon handling the ball down the stretch then TJ or else I will lose all faith in Mitchell as a coach.</p>

 

Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Good rebound in the second half, we stopped the crazy offense crap. I still can't understand why Kapono is taking so many spot up off balance threes on the break though, he has made a couple but that one he hit nothing but glass.</p>

Having Garbo on the floor was a bonus. He stretched the defense and moved the ball well in the offense.</p>

 

Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Garbo played welll in the first half, hopefully this pressures Mitchell to give him more PT because he really does deserve it. Relating to a13x comment about Kapono, I really dont mind him taking that shot as I believe he can hit it and when it goes in just looks better but I really dont like we he tries to create his own shot...it doesnt look pretty to say the least, he should just run in the offense and get the ball passed to him for the open look rather then trying to do some crossovers and spins to get free from the d.</p>

 

Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Oh that cray pull up thing could be his shot for all i know. I haven't watched that much of his game (before this year) to know any better. Definately agreed that he should be forced to pass if he's putting the ball on the floor and not shooting.</p>

 

Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Garbajosa playing was an encouragining sign. I've been really worried about his place on this team and he looked slow and tentative out there at first. But he began to get into the groove as he played more and was moving better instead of just standing outside the 3 pt. line. I honestly forgot how good he is at facillitaing ball movement. Hopefully, Mitchell gets some confidence in Jorge from that stretch.</p>

There's a day and night difference with our offense, when Bosh commits to driving to the hole. I just wish he didn't need to play crappily the game before to realize this though.

Bargnani's disappointing me but Kapono looks as comfortable in our offense as I've seen him all season. We need to pick up our D and get on those open shooters to pull ahead.</p>

Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Ahhh those rebounds we are giving up are killing me but a good start to the 3rd so far. I dont like Moon this game he hasnt done much today, I rather see Delfino, Garbo or Kapono in for him today.</p>

Re: NBA: INDIANA (3-5) at TORONTO (4-4)

Ahhh Bosh needs to throw the ball to the PG as soon as he sees the double coming instead of holding it until and waiting until the last second to make the pass thus turning it over, also we really need to boxout those 2nd chance points are what is keeping the Pacers in the game...if we boxed out from the beginning we would be looking at a 15 point lead at least.</p>
