Vince is pathetic. 4 points? Is this guy complacent or what? Props to Rafer Alston and Jalen Rose, who came back from last game which frustrated me. I feel sorry for Lamond. Only if he was behind the line when he pumped it
Did Jalen Rose just dunk in mild traffic, that's new. I feel bad for Lammond, he had a chance to redeem himself after the last time, but just didn't get it off in time. Good comeback, and good game by the team.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">vince is pathetic. </div> Wow, you coincide my mind. How can a player that has the talent and ability like Vince score 4 points and worse yet, get schooled by Anderson? I just don't understand. Is he playing like this on purpose so Babcock considers to deal him? I hope he redeems himself versus the Clippers on tuesday by scoring 45 points, book it.

It seems like you're having a conversation with yourself. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">damn! raps lose a heartbreaker. major comeback all for nothing</div> I don't think the comeback goes to waste. Raptor fans now truley know that they have other players beside VC and Rose, even though he played great tonight, that can help the Raps win a game (Utah Game), and give them a legit shot to win won, with their other players while propelling a comeback.
vince doesn't suck, he just need to realize his strengths and what he needs to do to get back on track...today he was just horrible...it seems like he didn't even give a shit about the game by being lazy on the defensive end and taking off balanced fade aways ...also when raps were making that great comeback , all vince was doing was smiling and joking around onthe bench....i think we should just bench vince until he realizes and decides to take it inside and hard to the rack
The Raptors are killing me. I think I'm going to have a heart attack watching them. Back to back games where we lost in the final minute.
i agree...you need a strong heart to watch the raptors, and always open to comebacks...i know i was tonight, but few minor mistakes in the last minute cost us the game... as for vc...players are allowed to have a cold streak, from a team point of view, this is a good thing, the team can learn to win or compete without VC on the floor, now as soon as VC gets back in his groove, our team looks pretty skilled with our starters and have a great bench... but i hate these nail biters, come on raps, blow some teams out, so we can breath easy... <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">The Raptors are killing me.

He was probably serious about the game inside. I'm glad that Mitchell benched him. Vince would of ruined the Raptor's chemistry on the floor and possibly not make the Raptors rally like they did during the late stages.
Vince lost this game for us again. He is seriously screwing up. He's had a cold streak in scoring since the season started. It would be different if he played some defense with consistency, but right now he's a liability to the team. Damn, normally I would give him some slack, but his performance tonight really pissed me off. He should be placed on the IR. Let Mason Jr. play, he deserves it more than Vince right now. On the bright side, what a game for the other guys. They were absolutely great. Lots of heart, never gave up. Even if we lost, I still feel good. I hope they keep it going.

Also MoPete's lane viloation
Now how about that Pape Sow.... his very first regular season nba game and gets called for a foul in like one second. That must be an nba record or something.
I was at the game and there were two Raptors fan in my section. Me and ROB BABCOCK!!! I sat right by him as we cheered the raptors on. It was amazing when Murry hit the three in the last second, the crowd went dead silent. Haha even though they lost, murray sucked the gravity out of the building. Lots of Blazer fans were upset that Portland gave up the lead. Terrefic effort by the Raptors to comeback. Imagine if Vince played that game more......were still 4-3 though....
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting deception:</div><div class="quote_post"> btw, did u any of u think the raps got burnt by jalen's touch foul on damon 30 feet away from the basket?</div> a BS call.....two games in a row...that cost the raps a W. totally BS. raps lost 2 heartbreakers. they could just as easily be 6 and 1 rather than 4-3
Vince Carter is not helping himself at all by playing like a piece of crap. Although he might hope that Babcock will trade him because he isn't committed, who would want to trade your franchise player when his trade value is as low as ever? Even if Vince isn't trying to play bad, he still sucks right now. He has only had one 20 point+ game so far this game, far from the 22ppg guy he was a year ago.
