Pretty or not, last nights game was a win on the road, with 9 players, missing 3 starters from the rotations. Not too frequent a happening for the Raptors, so the effort such as it was should be applauded.

Got the w. Another big game from Bargs and CB was big in the 4th. The Wiz are garbage however. 20 plus to’s and 39 boards a night ain’t gonna cut it most of the time. Hopefully are guys keep up the winning ways when we get fully healthy. I still think we can make the playoffs at the 6-8 spots. Must win against Memphis on Friday.

Bringing altraps to RR roster was a waste of time and space…the guy should write for TMZ or some similar tabloid bs site cuz he sure as hell doesnt know basketball.. stick to comedy main, maybe next season they hand you the golden ticket on last comic standing.

Solomon zero turnovers? that rite there tells me that you didnt watch this game but only checked the box score..
At least canadians should know about their team when espn and SI people analysts dont.

Anycase, good luck with that number one PG back-up for “many many more years to come” as I’m sure real raps fans will love it ..and ship roko to another NBA team.. cuz no way they’ll let him go to DL .

On the other hand, I’ll give you the one on humphries as funny, how much of your precious work surfing time did u waste to come up with that?

People need to cut Roko some slack, that kid is going to be good.

I’m not comparing Jake Voskuhl to Oakley by any means, but what I am saying is that the Raptors are in desperate need of some toughness and it’s good to see Voskuhl throw some elbows and exhibit some grit. In any case, it’s all good. I read this blog almost daily now, and encourage you guys to keep up the good work. Take care

Hilarious. Keep an eye on those laces, son.

Gee wiz, talk about crawling to the finish line. Those were some awful final few possessions. A win, but still.

After watching tonight’s game, one thing is clear:

We’re really going to miss Hassan Adams.

Negative? Alice Fine baby, Alice Fine.

But reason I’m really commenting is bringing up Oakley in the same breath as Voskuhl, I mean c’mon? Huh? Come on? That was a very normal pick set by Jake, the guy guarding Jake should’ve called the pick out to Young but didn’t. That’s a sign of miscommunication on the part of the Wiz much more than Jake’s toughness, not to say that I don’t like his play.

Did anyone see the pick Jake Voskuhl laid on Nick Young(correct me if I’m wrong). This site seems to be getting more and more negative. Not everyone on a basketball team is expected to drop 20-25 points a night. You need some gritty guys who’ll throw elbows and grab a couple of rebounds. Voskuhl is a great fit for the Raps and brings some toughness that hasn’t been around since Oakley left.

yeah, I was intentionally hard on Roko, just to fan some flames.

Joey was good, but I wanted to see the Joey we saw flashes of earlier in the season, especially given the fact he started…and against the Wizards.

Too much to ask, I guess.

Hilarious stuff, I don’t know if I buy that bringing Roko has been a “waste of a roster spot”. He’s played alright, as long as he realies his strength is defense and attacking he’ll be fine. Just don’t ask him to make jumpers. Graham was good tonight, aggressive early on and set the tone, made a couple hoops, one of them a nice spin on the left block.

Anywhooooo, my top 3: Calderon, Moon, Parker.

Bargs 25 points off of 9 shots taken. Nice…
