Re: NBA: WASHINGTON at TORONTO

Did anybody watch this live? I checked RaptorsTV last night and it wasn't on. But this morning there was a replay of it on channel 96 (a free preview channel, I think).

Anyways, it was another strong showing by our bench. Delfino put up his second strong in a row, so hopefully he gets out of Smitch's doghouse. And Bargnani was impressive. His rebounding was much improved, even if he did turn the ball over too much. Our defense could've been better, though. The Wizards kept getting an open corner three, because we were slow to rotate and we were doubling too much.

I'm ready for the regular season.</p>
