The score was *EDIT* NOT *EDIT* indicative of the game. The C's only put it away with 3 minutes left.
Calderon started the game nursing some New Year cheer it appeared while Barbosa must have left the club and come straight to the ACC after his 48 hour New Year's bash.
Essentially the Raps played hard but got out duelled by 2 future HOF's in Pierce and Allen.
Personally, I would have thought, after the stinker of games by Barbosa and Kleiza, Wright would have been given more of a chance to shut down the Pierce & Allen Show.
WRight and Dorsey are showing why hopefully they can be brought back to fill out the roster next season on VERY cheap salaries i.e. the 11th-14th players on the team i.e. third stringers. No team is going to win relying on them but they seem like great teammates and good players to have around to step up when injuries or fouls occur or intensity is needed.
DeRozan played very well again. If he adds deep range to his jumper, his ceiling might go up a few floors. He got totally raped by not only the C's but the refs as well.
Davis continues to impress. Only 21 minutes tonight but 9 rebounds and I was surpised to see no blocks. He certainly changed a lot of shots. He showed a nice little post up and pass to Wright for a dunk. Unfortunately after the foul line jumper, he needs to be reminded his ranged is currently 12 inches. A summer of work with Alex English would do wonders or just get on the Amir Johnson Plan.
Ultimately the Raps have only themselves to blame after missing 12 FT's and shooting 38% for the game.
