Toronto Raptors (3-8) VS. Charlotte Bobcats (5-4) - Nov 21st

Missed this one! What was up with the crazy block numbers by point guards? Kemba and Lowry with 3 each? Gordon with 2?

Well said Beags and Ohara; thanks for your posts.

Dnbman; it was a somewhat sloppy game; fast and kind of wild. Kemba was everywhere on defense reached for some blocks and got them when the shooter was unawares.

You would have loved Biyombo; he was awesome - actually scoring the ball. Mullens had a few moments but otherwise a frustrating night trying to guard Bargnani's shot fakes. That and his poor shooting helped keep the Raptors in the game.

And as Spectre predicted; Ben Gordon actually did dribble the ball off his knee in the first half.

He also had a pass from Kemba in the paint bounce right off his hands which got Kemba one of his TOs. He is SOOO frustrating for me but I will admit he did some good things too. He's the only guard really who's willing to pass it to Biz in the paint and last night he was finally rewarded for it.

I thought we looked subpar in the 1st & 3rd quarters especially and we made a lot of mistakes in this game. What I really love tho is when they start settling for crap shots/stupid stuff and Dunlap calls a timeout...right after we start playing a LOT better. It can't be said enough the bond these players have with each other and the coach. It's truly something very special.

After Mullens got his second foul trying to guard Bargnani; Dunlap subbed in Biyombo at PF. How do you say "Oh Shit" in Italian?

Kemba with 6 blocks this season !!, at 6ft 1 he gets a few blocks for his size

I know this is a mean thing to say but I think with Gordon out our chances got a little better. I'm not that fond of Reggie either, but the WTF timeout only cost us the one possession. Gordon is usually good for dribbling the ball off his feet at least twice a game and accountable for I don't know how many points because his guy continually blows past him.

just saw this and the thanks in the other thread, knew i couldn't be alone.

he is developing some good chemistry with biz like you guys said, so there are positives for sure.
