Indiana @ Toronto

Johnson causing ANOTHER foul. Geez.

Do the Pacers even try and get inside? Smh.

Back off, hes mine!

Wilt chamberlain claims to have slept with more than 20000 women in his life, Rasho calls that a slow Tuesday morning. It's okay.

This reminds me way too much of the type of games we played back at the start of the year. Constantly allowing dribble penetration leading to wide open jump shots. We are only winning because our offense has been better.

I'm really not liking the way that this game has gone so far. To be perfectly honest, I haven't been paying too much attention to the game, but seeing the Raptors only up 5 isn't what I would like to see, especially considering how the Pacers can shoot theirselves back into a game like nothing. On the flip side, they can also shoot theirselves out of games just as easily.

 

Granger looks terrible tonight though. He definitely doesn't look as good as the Granger that we saw last season, from the limited action I have seen of him this season. He almost looks like he doesn't even care anymore and wants out. Not saying that is the case or not.

How embarassing is the Pacers interior defense? Bosh literally just got a rebound over 4 Pacers and went up for basically an uncontested dunk. Amazing effort on Bosh's behalf grabbing that board and throwing it back down, but an absolutely despicable effort by the Pacers there. No way should Bosh have gotten that rebound and he sure as hell shouldn't have been able to go up and dunk the ball with very little resistance.

 

Raptors up 13. Just go for the throat and put an end to this game please. I want to see a blow out win for once.

SONNY WEEMS! It's nice seeing him contribute here and there. Good work on the glass, too.

 

And Jack is underrated. Not very many people talk about him, but he's a very smart player.

 

Granger is best as a second option. He's a Pippen waiting for Michael.

Not the best win, but a 15 point win is still very nice. Only 3 players who played for the Raptors in this game didn't score in double digits (9 played overall). Hedo (hurt), Beli (ice cold) and Rasho (who still played well offensively). If we can get this production from Wright, Johnson and Weems most nights, it makes the Raptors so much more dangerous. It also allows for a chance to put Johnson and Evans on the floor together because Amir seems to be able to do something with the ball in the post.

Raptors are now 4 games above .500 for the first time since 2008, I believe. I could be mistaken, but I think the best they were was 3 games above .500 last season (the first 3 games).

 

Raps move to a full game ahead of the Bobcats for the 5th seed now.

 

Also, Raptors are now only 4.5 games back of Boston for the Atlantic Division lead. Atlantic Division Champions, here come the Raptors.

 

Seriously though, I pray that we don't hear too much about how the Raptors are only 4.5 games back of Boston. Just enjoy the 5 game win streak, but don't overrate it and make it seem like the Raptors are actually going to catch Boston.
