I really have nothing to say about tonights game. It was an incredible show of heart. They came out on fire, put the Nuggets over their knees, and spanked them. Just to make things interesting, Bosh sprains his ankle, leaves in the early moments of the 3rd, and they still win by a kajillion points. Bloody Sow and Slokar got a couple points each. Is good, I like ballbasket…is nice.
On the other end of things, Carter had a great night, but the Nets lost. Curry had a great night, but the Knicks lost. They lead the Nets by 7 in the Atlantic, a half game behind the Wizards (the Wizards have three games in hand though) for 3rd in the East, and are looking good to stretch this 2 game streak to four (in Boston on Monday, and at home to the Heat on Wednesday). Friday’s game at Washington is a big one, they can make up some ground to the Wizards, and possibly move into 3rd in the East [makes the loss to the Knicks, and the two losses to the Hawks at the beginning of the season that much harder to swallow].

A win like this makes you put some of the games we’ve gotten killed in perspective. I just don’t get how teams don’t show up in the NBA…. I mean a couple of players I can understand but the whole team! Also, I hope mopetes performance tongiht puts a little fire under his ass to at least play hard for his contract in the off season… which in turn will help his team… Leafs are done.

you are bang on ves. how do you have iverson and anthony on the same team, healthy, and lose to an undermanned Raptors squad? boggles the mind. this is how the Raptors should be playing from here on out…coming out of the corner swinging.

I didnt get to watch the game against the Nuggets because I was playing ball myself, but when one of my buddies told me that they were up 20+ in the first quarter I couldnt believe it. Big character win for the Raps. Calderon back and Bosh leaves the game, but in the post game Mitchell said that Bosh could have returned but since they were up big he needed not to.
