Did they save that play-by-play audio somewhere on the site or did I miss the oppurtunity. Seemed like a hell of a comeback.
I was at the game. I didn't pay much attention to the Raptors except for Jose Garbajosa who was able to give the Raptors the win from 3-point land. Andrea Bargnani didn't look so impressive getting a couple of deep shots, but constantly getting into foul trouble. I wouldn't get so excited about this victory though, they only faced the 2nd unit in the 2nd and 4th quarter...no Gilbert. Which was why they were able to come back...get more of what I thought in the Wizards board.
Garbajosa 3 of 7 from 3pt land. Whats the over-under on his season total on attempted 3 pointers? 450 - 3PA? best stat of the game: Darrick Martin DNP. whats the over-under we see that in the box score this year i say 65.
I really hope Garbajosa doesn't just sit at the 3-point line and jack up threes all season long because that's the feeling I'm getting

I wonder if Mitchell really wanted to win this game . personally I would have liked to see a bit of SloKar and PJ Tucker who both had DNP's.
damn, they really gotta update those pics cuz Parker looks like a d!ck and Humphries looks like an evil villian.... Reading some of the reports, they're saying that Bargnani looked impressive. Don't see how that's the case when he got 3 fouls within of 4 minutes

It really was the one aspect that you could take away from this game. I mean, the lineup that ultimately gave us the lead was composed entirely of bench players and it's great that we can take our stars off and still not have a huge drop in production. The people that are saying Bargnani was impressive seem to have just looked at the box score after the game (*cough* Yahoo!Sports *cough*).
2 pt FG% 36.2 % (17/47) 3 pt FG% 41.7 % (10/24) We shot 5.5% better from 3 pt land. I guess our deep shooting won't be a problem, hopefully we won't fall in love with it and stop working it inside.
Just looked at the box. Great a win for the Raps I'm really rooting for them this season and wahey Fred Jones 17 not bad off the bench. But did we get out rebounded or what, was it by 10 rebounds ? Did Garbajosa hit all his 3's in the 4th?
what might be a concern throughout the season is tj ford's inability to guard big time guards (i.e. gilbert arenas)

The Suns seem to do well with Nash (who is not a great defensive PG eithier) as their PG and being uptempo/ run and gun.

we shot under 32% and still put up over 90pts and won the game. id say thats a pretty good sign. we obviously arent going to shoot that poorley all season jones looks great cant wait for wednesdays game

The Suns do admit to not playing defense though, but they're a lot more capable of it than a team like ours. The Suns can play defense, they just don't focus on it, and many times will give up easy baskets because they feel they can score back. Also in relation to Jorge, why was someone surprised about him jacking three's, I'm pretty sure one of his traits was 3PT jacker.
