I suppose this is what rebuilding is all about: fighting hard but making mistakes and hopefully learning in the process. Last night a relatively healthy Raptors squad again showed us glimpses of what they are capable of, and just when you were about to commend them for a job well done, they reminded you that…
Right now the Raps aren’t getting any calls and hit a new low last night getting to the free throw line just 12 times.
“They’re a very tough team for us,” Triano said of the Hawks, now fifth in the Eastern Conference and seeking their fifth straight win. “They’re big, strong and athletic. We seem to struggle with that.”
A take on diminishing returns with top picks, Peja's situation and an Alabi monster game.
The only reason this one is as close as it was is because Toronto's defense was absolutely putrid. In the end the Raptors pulled it out with some very efficient and timely offense from it's two homegrown talents in Andrea Bargnani and DeMar DeRozan.
“Like the coach always says, we’re not going to have a problem scoring the ball, our biggest issue right now is the defence. We have to get better. We cannot afford to play four quarters like this, especially at home in front of our crowds. We have to keep working on that.”
The “you make the first 10 shots and all feels right” edition.
Luke Harangody. No, he's not the guy you used to steal lunch money from back in high-school, he's the guy who dropped a cool 17 points on 8-11 shooting on your Raptors last night.
DeRozan is signed with Toronto in the Atlantic Division through 2014, so the Celtics should be seeing plenty of him over the years — unless the Raptors trade him away like every other good player that goes through Canadian customs.
