Toronto @ Orlando: January 24

Demar: "Coach drew up a nice play."

Huh? Fading 22 footer is his favorite closing shot I guess...

DD loves playing Orlando.

WHAT DID I SAY MOTHERFUCKERS?! HAHAH! Wooooo! Derozan was CLUTCH tonight.

when was the last time a Raptor hit a game-winning buzzer beater?...seems like eons ago,

Holy shit, we actually WON on a buzzer beater! This is such an unusual feeling.

Come on man. Most last second plays are prayers. Sometimes you get lucky and catch someone off guard with a backdoor play or something, but usually you just give a player the ball and tell him to shoot it. I'm not saying it's a great shot, but it is rare to get off a great shot in such a situation.

Called it :p That mid range game payed off!

Last time Sonny hit the game winner in Orlando, DeMar's was way better though.

The only 2 I remember in the last couple of season was TJ Ford hitting one against the Clippers and Bosh hit one against the Hawks.

And that awesome Mo Pete shot against the Wizards, but that was to tie the game.

It's about time! Well worth the feminine scream I let out when it went in.

it is cool if you were alone but you should not have shared :p

This kinda game lets us forget all those heartbreakers.

Also, this should be a huge confidence boost for Demar. He better keep it up

nah, its still cool, haha. Good feeling tonight. Endings like that are what make basketball special.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Freaking Demar. 5 Horrys! Raptors have lost so many close tight, blown-lead games... this buzzer beater was winning the lottery.

Mr. Fourth quarter LOL. Good way to build his confidence.

So glad we didn't draft Rivers. Was not high on him. He looked like a bust waiting to happen to me. Best case scenario a poor man's Jamal Crawford.

---

Yeah, I thought he would be a star (silly me!), but hey, Ross is a really good player already.

Still though, the raps blow leads in the fourth like its their day job.

You're right of course. But that's the story: He made a really tough shot to win the game.

Demar was unstoppable this time around. That shot was beautiful.
