Those were the Celtics? Right?


How about them Celtics with a 23 point win against the Indiana Pacers. *note is handed to me* I've just been informed that those were just the Toronto Raptors wearing green St.Patrick's day jerseys. It felt nice to break a 7 game losing streak, if they only had been playing like this all season. "If what" statements are useless though, all we can do know is look forward to the future. When a team get into the line like the Raptors did yesterday (36 free throw attempts) then they have more variety in their game and so they don't need to depend on their outside game to win. Add 18 offensive rebounds and there's no way you can lose.

Pops, The Man, The Legend!
21 points and 8 rebounds coming off the bench. Enough said. He is definitely ahead of Nate Jawai. Jake The Snake, Humphries and Patrick O'I don't care in big men returning to the roster next year. He knows that he is a role player unlike Humps and will play with intensity in every play. He is not another Jamario Moon or Loren Woods. I can guarantee you do that.

Bosh Who?

Yesterday it was all Bargnani ball. Not only was he hot from the outside, but he also was rebounding. In the last two months he has been amazing while Bosh has just been unimpressive. Rasho and Ford were also not big factors last night.
THE DUNK!


Poor Granger. That dunk was just sick,wicked and nasty. When I heard that Marion was coming to the Raptors, this is what I imagined.
The Nathan Jawai Radar
Jawai has been pretty impressive in the last two games with the Idaho Stampede. 15 points and 9 rebounds in a win against Los Angeles; however, Jawai did foul out of the game. Something he really need to work on. Then in a game against Rio Grande Valley he got a double double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Next Game tonight the Charlotte Bobcats, they've been on a tear ever since they traded Jason Richardson to Pheonix. Diaw and Bell have both been winners in Pheonix and have passed this on to their team. I didn't think much of Larry Brown before this season. I was completely wrong. This will be a tough one.

Could Iavaroni be our next coach? be From Doug Smith's Blog:

This ought to get the cobwebs out of the early morning heads.

Marc Iavaroni’s coming.

Seriously, he is. To Toronto. Like, tomorrow. And he was with the Raptors last week in Philly but went unnoticed.

The deal is he’s on some “coach and idea sharing” mission or some such; unemployed coaches come and hang around teams for a few days, offer their insight.

This, of course, is the first time the Raptors have ever done anything like this and of all the unemployed coaches to pick in all the world, they had to get Iavaroni, former head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, former long-time assistant in Phoenix – where that Colangelo guy held sway – and the apple of the eye of a lot of Raptors fans.
