| I'm just glad they kept a couple of opponents under 100 points for a change :P |

I'm not as certain. They've played enough defense to be 8-2, the raps have played enough d to be .500. |
If you look at the defensive rankings, Phoenix is a worse defensive team than Toronto.
This game should be very entertaining. |

I have no idea but according to ESPN's rankings, Toronto is in 26th allowing 106.4 points per game and Phoenix is in 27th with 107.1 points per game.
The 2 offenses are really close too. 107.7 for Toronto and 111.3 for Phoenix. Mind you, the Suns attempt and make 4 more field goals than Toronto does, so the 2 offenses are extremely similar to eachother. |

| I like what I'm seeing so far, it looks like the Suns are bound to make a run and walk away with it though. I really hope my instinct is wrong... :nervous: |

Agreed, we played really well though. Tough loss. It would've been a nice big confidence boost for the Raps if we made that last second shot. I wished it was Bosh getting the last ball to drive it for a lay-up and/or draw a foul. |

For future reference, we need some crunch time plays... GIVE IT TO TURKOGLU is NOT a play.
Either way, I'm happy with the way they played. |

I wish Bosh would've touched the ball in the last 2 minutes of the game, instead of Hedo taking an unbelievable number of perimeter shots. Then he fudged up the last play by almost turning it over.
Pretty frustrating game to watch. No rhythm or flow from either team. Very chaotic. Lots of loose balls, turn overs and some seriously weird calls. I guess that's what happens when the 2 best offenses and 2 worst defenses collide.
The Raptors could've won this game though, if only there was better ball movement and play-making, but it turned into a Hedo show.
So close :(
Edit: WTF is up with Bargnani? Such a streaky player. |
