Wow…the Raptors absolutely dominated the Rockets in Houston Wednesday night winning 106-90…some thoughts:
The Raptors were so unselfish last night…their passing, which included 6 assists each from Chris Bosh, TJ Ford and Jose Calderon, resulted in 26 assists on 44 field goals…folks anytime you get more than 50% of your field goals resulting from assists (59% in this instance) you’re playing a remarkably unselfish game…
Good passing makes for easy baskets, which puts away teams early…The Raptors, who led by as many as 22points, shot 57% (44-of-77) from the field for the game, including a scorching 69% (29-of-42) in the first half, which included and absurd 80% (16-of-20) in the second quarter alone…
When they out-rebound teams they win…last night they out-rebounded the Rockets 36-33…
Andrea Bargniani is the sure can shoot…8-12 from the floor, including 4-5 from three for 20 points…
Andrea Bargniani cannot however rebound…an athletic 7 footer who gets 2 rebounds in 33 minutes is embarrassing…
Chris Bosh’s effort is always there, but he’s also such an intelligent player…his line last night
Joey Graham’s minutes do not make sense…his last 10 games: 7, 9, 7, 19, 10, 3, 6, 8, 12, 1…the 10 before that? 28, 20, 11, 22, 15, 9, 21, 17, 15, 16…ver odd, although probably related to how he’s practicing…certainly couldn’t be a matchup thing, not with such a difference from one 10 game stretch to the next…
Although the Raptors are winning, including 13 of their last 17, so maybe I should stop whining and let Joey Graham take care of himself…
Did you hear what Boston Celtics radio analyst Cedric Maxwell said after a Violet Palmer call during the Celtics' 77-72 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday? He said she should:”…go back to the kitchen…Go in there and make me some bacon and eggs, would you?" Oh boy…his weak retraction soon followed: "If I said anything that might have been insensitive or sexist in any way, then I apologize because she worked extremely hard to get where she is now, end of quote…This really has been a fire storm…” Maxwell the declined further comment…imagine the furor if Palmer had been gay…
Good link…I would pick Paul…http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jack_mccallum/02/27/choosing.sides.paul.williams/index.html
