Get Back On D: This is the same team that scored a 117 points off you the last game the Raptors have to get back on defence and get a hand up on the shooters not letting them get in a grove. Play 48 Mins: The Raptors cannot let donw in any quater our defence is not good enough to get behind big last time we dug our selfs in a hole we could not get out of it. <font size="5">....</font> <font color="green">The X-Factor</font> Jose Calderon is comming off a bad game and his coach has blasted him publicly he has to respond in a positive way and show that he is good at protecting the ball. Calderon also has to guard Baron since James is gonna have his hands full with Richardson. <font size=""5"">.....</font> <font color="red">Prediction:</font> I think the Warriors are too strong and they will pull away in this game the Raptors can make a game of it if they play as a team. <font size=""5"">.....</font></div>
Nice preview! I'm going to say Warriors win 102-95 in a better effort from out team. J-rich with 30 +
Well ... by the numbers bosh and CV31 both had good games ... but when you look at the warriors everyone seemed to step up. Really like the way Charlie and Bosh work the high low post passing back and forth.. pretty cool .. giving a lot of the defenses hell. If we had a really consistant shooter from the off side we could be amazing..
okay sam going big with bonner, bosh and charlie V is moronic- especially against a guard orientated club like the warriors. wonder if charlie v could bench mitchell for poor coaching?
^That wasn't even the biggest coaching mistake of the game. The Warriors were shooting 58% from beyond the arc, making 17. Why go with a zone defense against a team that is lighting it up from the outside? I just don't understand how Sam Mitchell can criticize anybody for bad defense after this game: he put them at a severe disadvantage.
I expected a loss today but hoping I was wrong but i wasnt. I cant believe how the Warriors were shooting the 3 it was crazy. Sam made a bad move going to zone but a lose is a lose.
it's just how toronto has played for the past 2 years or so they allow their opponents to shoot over 50% on them all over the field i think it's both coaching and players when you allow secondary players on opponent teams to shoot the lights out, you have a big problem and you got to adjust for the upcoming games they never seem to do that though..mistakes (from coach and players) after mistakes all the time...atlanta is now better than toronto...wow
Now I know how Philly fans felt last season when the raps lit up the sixers for 20+ three pointers I actually like how we were playing on offense (although I don't see why we chose to ignore Bosh on key stretches in the game), but it's our defense that's just killing us..... I too question Mitchell, especially how he'd publicly criticize his own players without putting some of the blame on himself..... I predict he won't be back next season, unless he makes some drastic changes.
