Toronto @ Orlando: January 24

[mike, prague]

Updates and impressions from those of you watching would be appreciated. I am stuck refreshing the NBA.com page at work right now!

/edit: The stats make it look like Lowry and AA came in and brought the Raps a lift??

the empty building makes it look like a WNBA game

Orlando isn't playing with great energy either though. Raps can have this game if they want it.

yeah good start to the 3rd, nice to see

[white men can't jump]

I'm sure Casey basically told them the same kind of thing. This game is totally up for grabs. And it looks so far like they might recognize that.

[white men can't jump]

Also, Demar takes a lot of crap for not improving, and I know the statistical jump hasn't been huge, but he's a much much better passer this season.

I want to smack Matt in the face though for drooling over Demar's mid-range game on the air.

wow jose has the highest fg% among starting guards in the league matt just said

Hmm...could be. Jose shoots pretty well, and the better shooters are usually specialists. Nash has been up there every year but I guess the injury set him back and he's not on his usual 50-40-90 pace.

I don't know if I agree with that, a lot of his turnovers have been on passing, and I just don't think he sees the floor well enough.. last night was a great improvement tho, would like to see that be a consistent part of his game

Thoughts on Nicholson? I've been trying to think of who his game might be similar to

nothing coming off top my head but someone fro 80's early 90's for sure.
