Charlotte 110, Toronto 98

I can hear Raptors fans everywhere throwing the remote, storming out of the room and swearing endlessly at their club. That was a brutal performance and when adding it to the loss on Friday night I think it is safe to say the Raptors have reached a low point in the season.

The trade deadline has passed and short of some crazy pickup there is no way to improve the team. Bosh did not play but that was the least of the Raptors problems.

On Friday they gave up 122 points to the Pacers, tonight 110 to a Bobcats team that is near the bottom of the NBA in scoring.

It was the same old story. Nobody can rebound or even box out. It was painful to watch second chance points kill the Raps all night.

Another factor I am starting to fully accept is Sam is lost in what he is doing. His rotations and who is playing at certain points is really messed up. I know Bargnani has his down moments but the team needed scoring. Put the dude in who is at least capable of putting some points up.

T.J. was forcing it, Jose has finally hit a wall and Moon I don’t think should even be starting. What does he bring to the game honestly if he is not rebounding??

If it were not for Rasho and Parker this game could of been really bad. When you get 16 points out of the Rasho-saurus and you lose like that, the team has issues.

Delfino and Kapono were non-factors just like most of the team tonight.

What a stinker.

I just know The Arsenalist is losing his mind pounding out a hate on post for this game. I feel his pain.

Just looking ahead at the schedule for March I am just happy the Raps play in the East. They could be in for a rough ride especially if Bosh is out for longer than we may think.

Frustration is not the word, I just can’t for the life of me understand how a team cannot box out. You are not going to get every rebound but put a body on someone.

Playing ball as a kid  that is all we did in practice was rebounding drills and if you did not do it, you ran until you died.

Maybe the Raps will surprise us and win in Orlando? Who knows. But at this point I can’t see them going very far come April.

As bad as some of the teams are behind them, at least they put in effort every night.

Okay, just breath, it is only basketball. God Damn Raptors.

Other notes 

  • This has got to be just killing Chuck.
  • Rod Black continues to show why he sucks.
  • Moon needs to go to the bench and be a spark. Start Delfino.
  • Maybe Ford, Calderon swap soon as well?
  • Rasho looked unstoppable in the first.
  • More details about Primoz personality, thanks Chuck and Leo.
  • Is Garbo ready yet?
  • The Lakers/Mavs game was a good one. Kobe with 51, nice.
  • I hate that the Bulls and Cavs are always on TV.

I need a drink or two.

Game Ball…………whatever

Here is a video the Raps should watch cause they are not listening to Sam.
