    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting dunksworth:</div><div class="quote_post">[​IMG] Did we just win a game on the road???

    Man I can't believe I was debating whether I should watch the State of the Union or the Raps (this was during our 15+ point deficit)...... great game for the Raps, I'm still shocked that we overcame a 19 point deficit in the 3rd quarter to steal a game ON THE ROAD.... We were very lucky that SJax made that ill-advised foul to bring Jalen to the line with 0.4 seconds left....

    Game Notes:
    - Bosh with yet another stellar performance: 25pts, 15reb, 15-17 from the line, and 9 offensive boards
    - Milt, I repeat MILT, with a near triple double: 13/9/7 and 4-5 from the field
    - Rose was exceptional throughout the game but was HUGE in the clutch.... same deal for Marshall
    - MoPete is just asking to get benched on the road: 5pts 2reb in 31 minutes</div>

    [​IMG] @ the State of the Union... One sentence: Bush is the second coming of Mussolini. Bosh was huge in getting Pacers big men in foul trouble. Jermaine O'Neal fouled out with something like 15 points, Scot Pollard had 5 fouls, and Jeff Foster had 4 or 5 fouls. Bosh's 9 offensive board is 1 shy of franchise record. Milt looked like Jason Kidd tonight... Anybody see Bosh's crazy 180 reverse layup? I can't remember if he got AND 1 but it was sick. [​IMG] Oh and can't forget the putback slam after the Eric Williams miss. Rose still takes an occasional or two ill-advised shots early in the shotclock, but I'd take his bad shots over Carter's fadeaways at any given time... I thought Mo played amazing D on Reggie Miller, especially down the stretch. Every shot Reggie took was with Mo's hand on his face.

    Milt was ON FIRE at Indiana

    If you didn't feel in Alston's disadvantage last night, it's because Palacio.

    "Fire Milt" did all, and over from what we expect him to do when Rafer Alston is Suspended.
    Milt did very good job on defence, with 9 boards, and keeping their guards well.
    On offense, Palacio was great! 7 assists and 4-5 FG...
    Palacio, player that the most of fans wanted to see him out from Toronto- DID ALMOST TRIPLE-DOIBLE !!!

    So.... what do you think now ?

    HUGE WIN FOR THE RAPS ON THE ROAD!!! I thought this game was lost at the begginning haha, especially at halftime.

    We are brutal on the road, but this game showed our resilience and how we don't give up.

    All in favour of benching MoPete on the road say 'I'...

    Bosh the Franchise...

    Rose Mr. Clutch...

    Palacio... No words to explain!!

    Marshall, Mr. Right hand man Clutch.

    That performance now makes Milt a unanimous choice for all-star reserve. No questions asked. No Wade, Francis, Marbury etc. Milt owns them all.

    Notice how Bosh owned Duncan, Garnett, and Jermaine this season, who are the top 3 current PF's. Anyone who disputes Bosh not being a franchise player is not knowledgeable.

    I think Milt did well, because Tinsley was out, and b/c no one has really read his scouting report. If they defend him for the drive, then that's all they really need to do.

    Well, teams can't just defend him for the drive now because he does have the ability to knock open shots down, as contrasted to last season where his perimeter shooting was horrific to say the least. I heard Milt is going to be starting over Alston for the next little while and Alston's taking it as a lesson. JR had to earn his spot back in the starting 5, and so will Skip.
