That wasn't an offensive foul. He had his out there, but he wasn't pushing him off with it. That was a great shot by Blake. Raptors are soft. They let that game slip. They let them snatch a crucial offensive board.
A fatal dagger by Blake! Whew! I had a gut feeling the Raptors would lose. Seems like every time I watch them play a close home game the other team wins. Not that you care, but this was a huge win for the Blazers. Not only does it finish up a 4-1 road swing in the East, it's a rebound from the Boston massacre. Last year after losing at Boston, the Blazers went into a major tailspin. How sick is it the Blazers have had 15 road games and only 7 home games? I know it balances out but that's crazy. But they are 15-7 and going back out West for a while. Regarding the Raptors, that was a tough one to take. It's good they showed some bite after embarrassing themselves the last 2 games. I hope Triano gets the most out of that team and Colangelo makes a smart trade or two.
Yeah for sure A_3PO. They got blown out in Boston but they showed some mental toughness in the ability to come out and play hard for this victory. They have a very good record considering their road-to-home ratio. They are undefeated at home! (We could have spoiled that ) Young and talented. I am jealous. It's a good thing (in the end) that Roy missed that layup and Oden missed his. That allowed Blake to slide the dagger in.
I'm happy the raps lost. The sooner the team realizes you have to play some defense, the better. Bosh and Bargniani have to be the two softest "bigs" I've seen in a while.
Yeah...JO is really a good defender and Bosh is kinda underrated as far as defense goes. He's soft and weak but similar to Yao he does what he is capable of. Everyone always blames the bigs for D. The real problem is that their perimeter players get beat off the dribble way too easily.
lol...i like how yall got all bent out of shape about my litttle joke list. I put Mcgrady up there because he probably has the longest history of being fragile. The other guys (including Arenas) mainly missed major time some seasons. Its actually pretty funny people make jokes about Tracy not playing through injuries but he (and JO) always plays through injuries. Most seasons he goes out for atleast 15 games but he played through pain in like 20 games. ...and the other reason was because Arenas is listed as a PG.
