Fords final play was so confusing
that final time-out of the game, did Utah or Toronto use it??
it better not have been Toronto because they should have called a time-out before ford decided to run around with his head cut-off
but anyways I can't say it was a bad game, they played decent defense
which from the looks of it that is their main focus for every game of the season (xcept the one blowout)
once the raptors get into a grove like they found last year their offense will flow
they just need 2 keep grinding away at playing defense
and eventually, they'll both blend together |

I'm 99% sure it was Toronto who called the TO |

Celtics 7-0.
We all knew that Boston is going to be good, but I don't think we all realized how well Pierce-Garnett-Allen combo is gelling. |

Raps didn't play particularly well and their 3 pt shots fell, but Indiana had even worse perimeter defence so Raps won.
Raps didn't have much of inside game, except for Bosh going strong. (That Baston dunk in the first quarter was massive though)
Rebounding was crap, esp. first quarter.
Some really loose ball handling leading to unnecessary turnovers, keeping Indiana in the game.
I did like generally the hustle on defence, esp. some big block shots and steals. Distribution was decent and both point guards had good game.
Bosh's jumper is MIA though. What happened?
Good to see Garbo having a decent game.
Moon with another good game.
A win is a win.
Parker's shot from end of 3rd quarter. :eek: |

ya that was a good game
it was good that garbo got some playing time
bargnani pretty much got benched
but it sends a message to him and bosh to start hitting some jumpers |

So how long before Colangelo gets fed up with this team giving away games that should be victories? Yesterday was the 3rd game that we've given away thanks in large part to lack of coaching by the supposed "Coach of the Year". Going into this season I would've been one of the first to defend Mitchell but after Sunday's game my opinion of him is changing pretty fast. How in the hell does this man justify leaving every single player on the floor, not calling any time outs, and just being a complete non-presence when his team is shooting 4/22 in the 4th quarter??
I guess now that Mitchell got his contract he doesn't have to try anymore. Why wasn't Dixon or Bargnani put into the game with 4 minutes left when our lead was in jeopardy? Where was Humphries to give us that boost of energy when we started playing like a bunch of softies? And how long will Bosh be "recovering" from his minor injury?? Most importantly though, are there any other plays in basketball other than the screen-and-roll? |

Well said. I'm asking myself the same things. I'm still very worried about the rotation, no one knows when they're gonna get their minutes. This doesn't bode well to improve from last season. |

I guess there's a reason why Colangelo is Exec of the Year.
Jamario Moon... 15pts, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks, 3 steals, 7/12 shooting.
Wow
Calderon 19pts, 14 assists, 1 turnover.
wow |
