Raptors Forum:
Well, I don't think I can say that I remember the last time the Raptors were winning a game and I was honestly bored. How bored? Bored enough to watch a few minutes of American Gladiators, which provided a laugh when both women couldn't make it up the moving carpet at the end of the Eliminator. Hilarious.
Anyway, back to this game. Before anybody starts talking about how good the Raptors looked and the play of both of our PGs, let's remember that while the Wolves have been getting better and are a young team with some promise, they still aren't very good and this is typically the kind of result the Raptors should expect against teams in this situation. The good thing is that if any teams from around the league saw the combined work of Jose and TJ, they're going to take notice. We've said it a million times, but every coach in the league would die to have the combo we have at PG.
This might sound strange, but I think the injury to Ford actually did him some goo...

Kapono is a good shooter, but this is a very impressive video of him practicing for the upcoming 3 point shootout for the All-Star contest.
Raps vs. Wolves Preview
If you're looking for a team that could pretty good in a few years, you might be looking at the Timberwovles. Al Jefferson is a solid player at both ends of the court and is a strong rebounder (needs to work on his FT% in order to reach the next level), McCants is starting to figure out his game, nobody knows who the hell Ryan Gomes is, but he's putting together some pretty...
McCants injured in blowout loss to Toronto
It was another poor second half by the Wolves that allowed the Raptors to get their 5th win in the last 8 games. Rashad McCants went down in the second quarter with a sprained ankle and is being listed as day-to-day. The Wolves shot just 21.4% from downtown and Al Jefferson was held to just 18 points and 9 boards in the 105-82 blowout loss.
Out-Manu-vered
Okay, sorry, horrible title for this post and you'll have to excuse the spelling, but can somebody explain to me how nobody gets up close on Manu until the 4th quarter? Given, he did hit some amazing shots, but at the same time, you can also say that on his other releases, there was a lot of breathing room. Leo was right on the ball when he said that at some point you have to say...
Raps vs. Spurs Preview
The Spurs aren't going to be happy. They just lost to the Celtics, who were playing without KG, but had Paul Pierce step up and drop 35 points against them. The argument can also be made that the Spurs were playing without Tony Parker, which is a good argument, but if you have to weight things out, I think KG is more vital to the success of the Celtics than Parker is the Spurs...
