Approximately seven minutes into Tuesday’s matchup with the Raptors, Timofey Mozgov checked in for the first time in three games. He was forced into action in the stead of JaVale McGee, who happened to re-aggravate a leg injury that’s been giving him problems lately. In fairness to Mozgov, the Raptors seemed to be making a concerted effort to take the ball to the rim even before his surprise appearance. They’d already attempted six shots in the painted area, but there’s little doubt in my mind that DeMaR DeRoZaN’s decision to attempt one of the biggest dunks of the season thus far was positively influenced by the presence of the bumbling Mozgov rather than that of McGee, one of the league’s finest athletes and premier shot blockers.
Not surprisingly, this brutal basketball homicide took place just five minutes and 45 seconds into Timofey’s first stint of the night. With the acquisitions of high-flyers like Rudy Gay and Terrence Ross, Toronto is no longer any place for a lumberi...

The Raptors have won 4 of their past 6 games since acquiring the young star, even beating the likes of Indiana, LA Clippers and Denver (see clip above). Rudy is finally on a team where he is "the man", or as the announcer likes to call him "that guy". Well maybe the announcers aren't coming...

Joe Ray It’s no secret that JaVale McGee is an athletic freak and a dunking machine. The Denver Nuggets’ mercurial center is always good for a few good highlights per year, and this would be one of them.
Point guard Andre Miller serves up a three-quarters lob to McGee, perfectly in range for the jam. Safe to say the Nuggets caught Brooklyn sleeping on this play.
Kudos to...

Three-quarter-court (and beyond) alley oops are usually reserved for players named Wade and James, but Wednesday night in Brooklyn, Andre Miller and JaVale McGee — yes, that JaVale Mcgee — performed a worthy impression of the Miami duo’s long distance hookups.
