I was at my pops house and he dosen't have Raptors TV so I had to watch the game via satillite on MSG....just some side notes. 1. They kept referring to Chris Bosh as Chris Bash. It was more then once, I think its just the way he was pernouncing it. 2. The colour guy was terrible, his monotone voice was so boring, I was fading in and out of paying attention. 3. When the raptors were stuck at 99 points for 2 possesions, the comentators had this little back and forth. Play by play- "When the raptors score 100 points at a home game here at the ACC, those in attendance get free pizza." Colour guy- "They are really chanting for 100." PBP- "I dunno about Toronto Pizza..." CG-"No good?" PBP- "I can't imagine it being very good here in toronto....thats why they must be giving it away for free..." 4. They were on Curry's jock like he was the next big thing. They did mention that he needs to dedicate the offseason to get in shape. They were also prasing Isaiah Thomas for his "clock managment" and "offensive and deffensive substitutions" even though I thought it was retarded that the Knicks would pass up on giving Nate a wide open look at a 3 with 12 seconds left, chosing to drive the lane for 2 and foul Bosh.
Not to mention that one of them said (I think it was Clyde Frazier) that Nate was the best athlete he's ever seen and the other one agreed with him.

I think there might be something like 500,000 Italians in Toronto that might have something to say about that!
To be fair, they are coming from New York. NY pizza is the sh*t. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">Chutney, were you waving a Raptors flag?</div> Nah man. I was the dude in the nosebleeds with a sign that had bite marks at the corner and read "I GOT BETWEEN EDDY CURRY AND A HOT DOG STAND." That game was kind of slow in the beginning but picked up in the 2nd half. The Raps were playing decent defense, but the Knicks kept generating offense from 3 main players. Steve Francis was just lighting it up early on and drew fouls at will. Eddy Curry was also pretty unstoppable. It seemed like whenever he got the ball, he usually scored. Nate Robinson hit some 3's off the bench too. Its not like the Raps laid off those guys either. They were doubling Curry and getting a hand out on Francis, but they still managed to score. Anthony Parker was the most important player, IMO. He was doing a great job defending the much quicker Francis and he made the Knicks ease off Bosh when he was on the floor. He's been so important to this team ever since Garbajosa went down. I know how it looked like we needed a 2nd scorer early on, but I think he could very well be that player. Funniest moment of the game was when Bosh was backing down this Knicks player and the dude just stepped back. Bosh fell on his ass. That's the first time I've ever seen someone play him like that. At the end, it looked like Joey Graham was going to slam one down before regulation and give the Knicks a reason to start a full out brawl. But he decided to be a good sport.

He also pronounces Kyle Korver as Kyle 'Carver'. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">2.

He can get animated sometimes ex: Knicks/Nuggets, Knicks/Bobcats. When the game is slow his voice is a little boring though. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> 3.

His defense was terrible though. Calderon was driving to the layup too easily. That's why they said he needs to get into better shape.
