Yes, he dunked over Farid with authority last night. I thought he was in for a hard foul, but then all of sudden the jam with authority happened and Matt Devlin went nuts, lol.

Last night game was good.. I'll bet Raptors have revenge on their minds when they play Portland blazers. It's going to be a good game. On a side note Raptors fan, I scored an autographed basketball signed by JV... :-)
I wonder how much the ball would be worth.....

Wow, I've really enjoyed watching this team this entire winter. What a stark difference from a year ago when they would have leads, then blow them, or get blown out from the beginning, or lose in the final possession. I've enjoyed watching them more than the Leafs, I have to admit, and basketball is more fun to watch.

I notice that the biggest differences compared to last year are much better D, lots of guys who can make treys rain, and because they can hit 3-balls reliably, those help stem momentum from the opposition when they try to make a run. I might actually try to find some tickets this month to see a game or to find playoff tickets when they start.

Alpha, agreed 100%

They have been SO much fun to watch. I don't care what happens in the playoffs, but it will be fun to watch regardless. What's been even more impressive is how they play without their core guys. Even with no T Ross, and Lowry in foul trouble, they handled the Warriors incredibly well last weekend. I've been very impressed!

It's amazing what can happen when a bunch of guys play hard, and respect their coach.

Tonight is going to be an important game vs the Nets. They are also playing well. I can't wait for the payoffs.

Tough loss. We had a chance to win it at the end but came up a little short.

I can't imagine what our record would be without Lowry. That guy is in on EVERY PLAY.

Did you see when he jacked up that airball 3? As he was complaining to the ref that he was fouled, I could read his lips saying 'I don't throw up airballs!!' LOL

Ah man, anyone watch the OKC game? The beauty and agony of the sport was on full display. No small lead is ever safe.

John Salmons fukked up twice (bad inbound and missed both FTs which would have likely sealed the win), and wasted over 55 minutes of hard labor put out by the guys.

Durant is just amazing. What a phenom.

Great effort, but what a horrible blown lead. :/

just got back from hurling in the bathroom, what a painful ending...we were up 8 (eight) with a minute to go. I haven't seen a choke job like that in a while (Game 6 Spurs anyone?). Salmons obviously sh*t the bed, but what kind of play call was that on the last possession? DeMar was flying at 35 mph away from the basket when he gets that pass, having to turn around for an 18 footer? Also, that was the worst case of officiating by far this season that I've seen (for both teams)

hold on, I think I gotta barf again...

MVP is locked up for Durant after this game.

Hoping this sunday's Raptor's home game turns out to be an exciting win agains the Atlanta Hawks.

I'm going with Ryan (6yr old son) to see the game, we have two 8th row $199 dollar tickets. No I didn't spend $400 to buy them, I won them in a raffle at my work few weeks ago. Will be both of our first times going to see a NBA game.

The thunder just confirmed any lead is not safe... I really can't believe they still lost... This is a painful lost... We were a game ahead of the bulls for 3rd.. A very slim lead.. Hopefully we can increase our lead to keep the 3rd sees and v increase the lead for Atlantic title.. Saving my cash for the payoffs.. :-)

I was very upset when I wrote my last post, but looking on the bright side, at least they hung in with an elite team. They still have been exciting to watch, and Salmons has contributed to this entire season as well, I'm sure he felt really bad and didn't sleep last night.

Next game.....we'll get this one. Go Raps Go!

Lets go red, lets go Raptors!
