Wayne Brad errrrrrrrr Pat Patterson played VERY well. Team was very sluggish tonight, they better get that out of their system now because the hard part begins Sunday night.
Patterson stepped up BIG -- not only did he drop a double-double, but he played exceptional D on Kleiza in the 2nd half.
A lot of worrying signs for me, we can't keep letting slashers have career nights against us, very lucky that Bargs, Weems and Peja weren't playing. Pat was impressive, hope Chase keeps this form up, the team needs him to play well.
Does PPat look like an Artest clone bodywise out there? I switched to the game and was a tad confused for a moment. Great game by the good guys.
It seems many people missed tonight's game, they will be sorry that they didn't get to see an incredible game by Patterson and Budinger.
2nt unit won the game. Patterson double double in his first game with meaningful minutes. BMiller was the key for 2nd unit offense. CBud got his shot back, still not much defense. Lee is playing like a glue man. Smaller Shane Battier with hops and less IQ. AB actually played worst on 2nd unit. Did well in 2nd quarter without taking shots, started to play worse when he decided to score for himself.
Except for the 2nd quarter I think that was not a good game. Scola seemed like he wasn't really in there tonite and nobody could stop DeRozan, not even Battier. Also, we gave up tons of offensive rebounds in the 3rd quarter, but again, overall I am not really satisfied with how the team played.
The starters can't dig themselves in a hole like tonight against the better teams. Their defense was atrocious at the beginning of the game.
That's three good games in a row by Chase Budinger. He'll keep Terrence Williams on the bench with this kind of play. Good to see Joey Dorsey getting his game together for the Raptors. Always like to see ex-Rockets doing well.
