    I cant believe we lost, I wish that last shot by Lamond counted even if we lost in over time. I was getting so happy watching highlights but it ended up not counting!! Rafer had a career high scoring night and had a great overall game, Jalen, Mo, Lamond, and Bonner all performed. Pape Sow should get more minutes he's a great rebounder and can really clean up the glass, as of right now I'd rather have him in the game than Araujo.

    totally BS. raps lost 2 heartbreakers. they could just as easily be 6 and 1 rather than 4-3

    Well Jalen did reach in, so I don't know how it's a BS call, just a stupid play by Jalen really.

    Babcock was taking notes the first 3 quarters. During the 4th he would clap at Raptor buckets and Blazer misses and he stood out of his chair when Alston made the three. It was so cool

    This is where Kevin O'neil would come in handy. He always seemed to manage a basket for the Raps out of a time out. Sam Mitchell did get Rose that dunk out of the timeout, but I'm sure KO could of gave the Raps a better shot at the end of the game.

    Yes that is true, KO was good at running up plays for game winning shots, thats one thing he did right last season, we always seemed to find someone open.

    Besides the disapointing loss, the Raptors played fairly well and again, almost won it. One thing I would like to say is I am truly impressed with Sam Mitchell in benching Vince Carter for all of the 4th Q. He's really showing whos boss and actually realizes that Vince was terrible out there especially his shot selection. It's just mind boggling on why Vince just continues to do what he does, that same fade away at the top of the key that rarely goes in (just look at his FG%). A player with his athletic ability should be doing something more productive and I'm glad that Sam realizes this and in turn decides to bench him. Maybe this will knock some sense into Carter (who knows).

    Another thing is, the other players have played exceptionally well without Carter on the floor.

    Not a bad game by the Raptors, just came up short in the end, I'm sure they'll bounce back somehow but this could have been a big win.
