LOL! thats the quietest 14 points iv ever seen scored. it seemed like he barely got any clock tonight. i couldnt believe it when i read the box score...i thought it must have been a mistake lol. am i alone on this? does this kinda surprise anyone else?

    another thing id like to point out is that bosh REALLY struggled with his offense tonight. 4-14. but even when he struggles, he still manages to have a great game. what a player [​IMG]</div>
    I thought MoPete had like 7 points, the three he made at the end, and 2 other baskets somewhere, but I guess he somehow got 14 [​IMG]

    Good game, i just jumped when we hit all the 3's and when jalen got that and 1 play. But great games by jalen and donyell. Bosh didnt have a great game or anything but had another double-double, which is a franchise best 9 straight.

    He would've had 11 if he didn't make the three in the dying minutes. But yea I agree that was one of the quietest 14 point performance by any Raptor.

    I'm telling you man, it's those white shoes. He went 1-7 with the new kicks and after he switched to the old ones he went 3-7. [​IMG]

    question:

    who's playing center when Hoffa's having an off night like it looks he had tonight judging by the boxscore. Woods isnt getting any PT, anybody know why? He was doing pretty good at the beginning of the season but it seems like we traded Carter he doesnt get more than 10 minutes a game.
    Anyone wanna fill me in as to who's playing center (donyell? Bosh? Bonner?) and why Woods is 12th man now?
    Oh and also why does it show Alvin in the boxscore? Shouldnt he be on the IR and someone like Pape be DNP?

    yea...the back up center spot is being split up between donyell, and bonner. we're usually putting 3 fwd's out there when araujo is on the bench. a little bit of a concern imo...i dont know why aaron williams doesnt get more clock

    thats wierd that alvin was in the box score...must be a mistake. he IS on the IR, so i dont know why he's in there...s'gotta be a mistake [​IMG]

    Donyell plays center, we basically just have a lineup of 2 PF's.

    Man that was an awesome game come fourth quarter. The first three quarters were pathetic for both teams. Man Allan Houston was struggling like crazy! He was limping on the court. I think they are trying to pump his value by giving him court time, but its obvious that he is a liability on the court.

    Amazing 4th for Jalen, he was soo clutch in desicion making. Whoever was guarding him, was either too weak or too slow to cover him and if he was doubled then Yell was on fire beyond the arc.

    Great defensive game for Bosh, he was really helping out in the middle. Arujo seemed lost in this game.

    Overall great finishing quarter for the Raptors.

    Aaron Williams is probably still adapting to our defense/offenses, and recovering from his ankle injury.

    I think Mitchell should mix it up a bit and let Woods get the starting spot for a few games. Then depending on Wood's play, decide who retains the position.

    Give the man time! After missing 9 months, it is expected he will be struggling. He only played 20 games this season. If he still struggles by the end of the season, then maybe it should be a concern.

    Allan Houston does not have any trade value so, there is nothing to pump up. When his contract is expiring, he will have mad value, but now, no because no one wants to take on that contract, and he has not proven himself yet. I think he will evtually though.

    Its funny..Jalen plays an awesome game and you guys ride his nuts. He plays a bad game, he's the worst player on the Raps roster and should be crucified. [​IMG]

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Where are all the Jalen haters?</div>

    Apparently in here..riding his jock ONLY when he plays good and the Raps win [​IMG]

    Good game though. Hope they keep this play up in Washington and come home to beat the Cats.

    It depends on his shot selection. If someone jacks covered threes with plenty of time on the clock. Yes it will be questioned, if he goes down to the block and tries some low post plays, even if he misses it is understood that he is capable of making those and he won't be ripped on.

    I've been supportive of him since he has been on the bench, just check my Thoughts on Jalen poll/thread. I think it all has to do with Jalen's mentallity and attitude.

    man...sometimes jalen's shot selection is HORRIBLE. he turns the ball over, and takes ugly jumpers with a hand in his eye, and 18 seconds on the clock...when he does that...as a RAPTOR fan, i have every right to cry bloody murder. when jalen is hurting our team...is pisses me off

    fortunately since he's been put to the bench, he hasnt really hurt the team...i like his play as a 6th man. he's much better then when he starts
