Series Thread: #3 Orlando Magic vs. #6 Toronto Raptors

Ford with the nice roll over Howard!

 

C'mon Bosh! Put that ball in! The Raptors with horrible defense. Moon didn't even come over to help! And now we are down 10-2.

 

SMitch with the timeout, smart decision. We really need to buckle down and shut the Magic crowd up. I've seen this way to many times were we got off to horrible starts. Even Bosh said the team that wins is the team that gets the better start.

 

Jamario Moon with a 3, about time. He really needs to start slashing and playing defense.

 

Man, we're getting chances, but not capitalizing on them. We need to make our shots to stay in it. We need to keep turnovers down and play good defense Lets go, only down 4.

 

Nice explosive move by TJ. Raptors down 2.

 

Raptors down one, getting to excited. We need to slow it down and get some good plays. Like that, Kapono! What a drive and the foul!

 

Raptors up 26-22.

 

Nice inbound play! Raptors got lucky!

 

Woo, good game so far. Calderon taking advantage of Dwight being on the bench. Raptors got to take it right at Gortat.

 

No one even jumps when Howard goes up, it's funny. Howard's block was boarder line goal tending. Soon they'll be a Hack-a-Howard defense.

 

Even though we have the lead right now I have a real uneasy feeling about this game, if it is close in the 4th I dont think we have what it takes to close it out and win to send the series to game 6. Anyways hopefully we could get some distance between Orlando right now and in the 3rd.

Also for a team that must win to keep away from elimination we are not playing as I had hoped. Bosh needs to be more assertive and stop taking those tough jump shots, challenge Dwight on defense!

 

Late whistle, but I'll take it. Raptors need to keep driving so we can open up for more shots.

 

This game should have been televised. Somewhere. ESPN, maybe.

 

DUNK EVERYTHING BOSH!!!

 

Wow, Raptors can't get a call or a stop. They need to box Howard out and get some rebounds.

 

This is frustrating to watch, we give up 2nd chance points every other missed shot by the Magic.

 

Lets go! They are standing around like they don't know what to do.

 

50-49 at half. Raptors need to step up and make some plays. No need for silly turnovers and bad shots. The Raptors can get almost any shot they want off, they just need to make them.

 

Man what frustrated me is how much harder TJ Ford trys playing when he is feeling it, now I know whenever any player starts hitting shots he feels more comfortable but I see TJ as a completely different player once he nails like 2 or 3 shots.

Anyways its a tie game at halftime but the Raptors need to play with a higher level of intensity because this certainly is not going to win this ball game. Bosh needs to suck it up and step up big in the second half, I dont care that you are averaging 26pt, 9rb in the playoffs when you dont show up in the biggest game of the season so far.
