    If we keep up our effort, our guys could pull of a win @ indiana.

    I'm glad Rafer got some rest tonight (22 min), last game I think he had 48 minutes and I really don't want Rafer to get injured or worn out. He seems to have an impact like Steve Nash does for the Suns. Our starting line just isn't quite the same. [​IMG]

    wow... great game
    I have to agree wit Mcgrady^1, we need to give bosh more touches.
    The truth is Bosh is da man on this team, im sooo convinced after tonite's game. Ok fine, its only one game, but I believe that if he's the focal point of our offence and gets more touches, meh .. the sky will be da limit. Jalen needs to be traded, that guy is always a bad apple on every team. He's not a bad playa, but he's just not a team guy.. no wonder he never makes the all star team. Give bosh the ball and more touches and make everyone else play behind him...This kid totally rose to da occasion tonite.. Good game Cb4... i love this kid..

    Well let's not get ahead of ourselves, Bosh seems to be playing very well against the top tier PF's, but doesn't come out with the same focus night to night. He had a good game, but he's been inconsistent, and he's had games where he's gotten touches but just committed turnovers on them, so we can't rely on him like that.

    Jalen cannot be traded lol

    Wow, 24/14 for Bosh... and against KG no less. Let's just hope he that this is the game where he turns everything around and gains the confidence so he can join the 20/10 club.

    Man this Raptor team is very frustrating. We beat the Spurs, Heat, and now the T'Wolves but we can't beat anyone else. I was disappointed when Mitchell took out Sow after only 4 minutes of play though... but he was a liability on defense so I can't blame him for doing so. I don't know, I just really wanna see him get some minutes.

    Wow, great and very surprising win. Didn't catch the game but caught the highlights and liked what I saw.
    One of those games where the crowd is wild, the game is wild, almost all the shots fall in and everything slowly falls in our hands. Used to have a lot of these kind of games back in the 2001 season but yeah, great win.

    Bosh absolutely played as good as, if not better then the reigning MVP so that has to be a boost of confidence for him right there. Best part about this win was seeing Bonner leave the game with his fingers up in the air. Garnett did not overreact to the foul, it was pretty hard but what else could have Bonner done?
    Nice to see MoPete all amped up, the whole team was energized after that.

    Good win for the Raps but they're still eight games under .500, but things are okay in T.O for tonight. It won't be long before the next loss when more trade and chemistry problem rumours arrive.

    Awesome game. Great effort by ALL players. Mo Pete played with a chip on his shoulder the whole game. If he would have thrown down that put back with 4-5 mins left they ACC would have BLOWN UP. Too bad Bonner wasn't around to see it because of that bad hard foul call. Garnett jumped up without having his feet under him for SURE. I love Garnett's intensity and I REALLY LOVE Bosh when he plays with that "Garnett type" of intensity. Bosh was a machine.

    That was like watching KG versing himself up to 24 and the KG in white won the game [​IMG]

    Good job by the the red bonner....the red bonner...that sounds wierd, anyway he really got us pumped up and who knows, we could have lost if it wasn't for what he did.

    spreewell needs to grow up, and kg needs to control his emotions. people always talk about how great of a player he is, yet they forget he's gone nowhere. this is a consistent pattern of behaviour for kg, he's never been able to control his emotions in critical moments. this is of specific concern considering his game is perimeter orientated and focus is an absolute imperative when u want to play that game.

    and btw,anybody else wishing that was hoffa was in there instead of bonner cause i would love to see spreewel in the emergency room.and another thing, i don't think i've ever seen the ACC this jacked up for a raptor game, i guess its hockey withdrawal and they mistaked bonner for tie domi. and while i'm at it, how did bonner get ejected? officiating is a joke in the league.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">This is just stupid, we all know MILT PALACIO THE DEAN OF LAYUPS won the game for is, let's get serious here.

    Bosh played great, MoPete shut me up for another game even though he's sucked for 17 of the games this season, but I liked how he was actually attacking the basket with purpose, that's all I've asked of the guy instead of throwing up wild layups.

    Rafer really loves the three, it's nice when he was making it, but he's come back down to earth and keeps launching them a little too much, to many contested ones.

    That shouldn't have been a foul on Bonner, but did you gusy see out players energy, Chungster that's the whole thing about HOW YOU PLAY YOUR 82 games, if you get rest you play well, when we start off having all back to backs and road games even with out team having it's problems, it's still not good...

    Were Jalen and Vince mocking Cassell when he was going to the bench? [​IMG]

    Also Bosh must've eaten some virus that gave him super basketball powers, but look what rest can do, Minnesotta is on a back to back, and they had no energy later down the game while we were just cruising like we were 10 year old children.</div>

    I watched the game and I didnt see that, but it really doesnt matter look who your talking about Jalen Rose and Vince Carter, Cassell has shown more heart in his right shooting wrist then those cats have in their entire body and have shown in their entire careers combined.

    Easy there Henacy, no one's making fun of Cassell, but they were laughing at someone and Cassell had just airballed a shot, so I assumed it was him, not need to get defensive lol.

    They were laughing at Milt too because he was going 1-2 each time on the line, but Jalen has heart, can't say the same about Vince, but since when did Jalen not have heart, he just sucks, their's a difference between having heart and just sucking lol.

    [​IMG] It would've been brutal if Araujo was in there, screw Latrell in emergency room scenario because Kevin Garnett would've been calling his momma if he was taken down by the Big H. Bonner got ejected after being called on a flagrant foul 2, which automatically ejects a player, giving the reciepient of the foul play 2 free throws and a possession along with a 1-game suspension to the player who commited foul. I doubt Bonner will be suspended though, he was going for the ball and Garnett didn't have his legs under him.
