Leo Rautins all over James Johnson's nuts already. That sure didn't take long. :lol:

 

Nice to see DeRozan attack the rim. As much as I have enjoyed seeing the progress in his jumper, he has been settling for it a bit too much for my liking.

Bayless with 3 straight turnovers and Leo Rautins crucifys the guy, yet he praises Calderon for such a great game when he shoots 3-12. I can't stand this damn guy.

 

Not to say that Bayless shouldn't get flack for turning the ball over because they were pretty bad decisions on his part.

I think the defense that the Raptors have played in the 2nd quarter is the best I have seen from them in a long time. Davis and James Johnson in particular have been all over the place on the defensive end. They are, for the most part, contesting every single shot, creating turnovers, blocking shots and just being active all over the pace. It is leading to some easy baskets in transition too.

 

Lets see how they do with Rose back in the game, though. I fully expect him to make Calderon look like the pylon that he is.

Noah with 11 rebounds in 10 minutes of playing time. :o

 

He has gotten away with A LOT of pushing and shoving down low. He could easily have about 4 fouls already.

 

Not to take anything away from him as he has worked his ass off, like he always does, but there have been instances where he should've been called for a couple of fouls and either they weren't called, or given to a Raptor player.

 

The Raptors frontcourt is severly outmatched, though. Either they are giving up way too much length when Davis and Amir are in and trying to guard Noah, or they are just physically outmatched when they are forced to guard Boozer. And of course, Bargnani is outmatched no matter who is on the floor. :lol:

 

EDIT: Nice dunk by DeRozan, but Matt Devlin is going to drive me insane with this "No props needed" crap everytime DeRozan dunks the ball. That is three times already in this game alone.

Bayless has had a rough game tonight. The offense has been just awful with him running it. A bunch of turnovers and poor shots. He came in and the lead went from 10 to 4 in about 1-2 minutes.

 

Best part of the night so far was Devlin sounding absolutely shocked that the Raptors have a lead going into the 4th quarter. He couldn't even hide the surprise in his voice. :lol:

Win or lose, this is the best Raptor game I have watched all season long. I don't remember the last time they played with this kind of passion and intensity.

 

This is also the best game I have ever seen from Andrea Bargnani. I honestly have no idea when his stats are like right now and I couldn't care less if I found out that he has 15 points and 3 rebounds after the game. I have never seen him this involved defensively, on the glass and in creating plays. This is without a doubt the best all around game I have ever seen from him. It just baffles me why he can't give this kind of effort on the defensive end and on the glass on a regular basis.

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Rose is making Calderon his bitch right now. Man, I almost feel sorry for Calderon right now. It must be embarassing to be constantly blown by and have the guy you are guarding make you look like a complete fool.
