    I think that the Raptors most consistent player other than Bosh this season is Anthony Parker. He really did a damn good job filling in that much needed spot at the SG in terms of defense and offense, he has been consitent on both sides of the floor, and has never been in a huge slump, he knows how to win, he is used to having a leadership role on a winning team, and I think deserves some major credit, he has really stepped up for us this season.Without his defense on the perimeter and much needed offense, I dont think we would have this good of a record.

    Ya, he's been awesome this year. He always makes good decisions. Doesn't force up too many shots and is a great team defender. He is able to keep up with many of the superstars that he has to guard this season. and his 2nd time around the NBA has showed other teams that he can play. But he is 31 and will be getting old soon, so don't know how much longer he will keep this up. Well he also has stepped up big time, when some players were struggling he stepped up and took those shots. A good thing about him is that he hasn't made any mistakes yet that would cost us a game.

    I dunno about that "he hasnt made any mistakes to cost us the game" comment. Not that its that big but he has missed alot of much needed free throws down the stretch of games which ultimatley made the game tougher for us to win or just plain lost us the game. Besides that I have nothing to bag on him about, hes great!

    I love Anthony. He does everything. He plays defense, passes, he can drive, he plays VERY smart basketball, he can shoot the ball, score, etc.....He does everything. He is a perfect role player.

    Anthony is awesome. He'll get better each season. He has alot of experience in the past. Did you see how he defends players like Kobe, Lebron, and Carter? He's an awesome defender and hits big shots and keeps the team energized.

But yes he shuts down a lot of those players this season along with Jorge Garbaosa. You know his big shots are the reason why the Raptors are still in it, for the playoff race.
