The problem with the Cavs is depth, in Orlando you can have a player almost as capable coming in as the one he's replacing. I agree to an extent r.e defence but unfortunately thats the rules. james will have to adapt his game the way MJ did in terms of getting better at a fadeaway jumper etc.

Lmao agree about depth but the thunder made our depth look shocking last night

lol take your point about James look at Bryant he's fadeaway is the best in the NBA rarely see him take it to the basket now cause of the defensive ruling.

Back to back high scoring losses for the Raps. They had a real chance last night at San Antonio and I think the coach can pick up some of the blame for this one. Our bench was rolling early in the 4th quarter but he decided to bring back a couple of the starters and it fooked up the momentum comletely. Was all downhill after that. We're definitely a moer talented team than last year, but the same old frailties are showing.

I hope to see some improvement when we take on Chicago on Weds. Got my tickets today.

I hope you don't see one

I didn't see much in the way of improvement last night. It was an ugly win. But that's better than an ugly defeat so I'll take it.

And for the bulls it was an ugly loss. I am realising so much of this game is dependant on momentum, the bulls lost a close 1 to the nuggets by a point the night before last, I wonder if they would have played so poorly last night had that been a 1 point victory.

Anyway weel played to the raptors. They look ok at home, but have not bees so good on the road.

I sky+ the cavs @ magic game last night o will watch that later.

We're definitely stronger at home but we're also notoriously e on the road against Western Conf teams so I don't expect much from our next 4 games (in LA, Phoenix, Denver & Utah).

The Bulls had us until the last 5 minutes last night, then they started missing shots and we took advantage. Like I said, it was ugly.

err, just watching the cavs magic replay on espn, i've paid any attention this off season, how the have the magic acquired both carter and jason williams?

Who wouldn't want to play alongside Superman?

Besides, they did offload Turk to us (yes, that seems to be what the other Raptors are calling him

) .

Speaking of which, he bombed a last gasp chance to give us a rare win against the Suns. Was a great game though. We usually get murdered by Phoenix and Captain Canada. The Raps offence is looking dangerous. They managed to turn around a 22 point deficit against the Clippers at the weekend (tied a club record). There are signs that the D is catching up, but we could do with throwing Reggie into the mix. Hopefully wont be too long now.

Roll on 2010..Lebron and Wade in the garden.

You keep telling yourself that.




It seems that the Raps are just going to try and outscore their opponents this season. Ah well, what else do you expect from a team put together by Bryan Colangelo.



I'm very anxious to see what difference Reggie Evans is going to make. Wish he'd hurry up and heal already.

think theres more chamnce of platting fog than getting both Wade and James. I think you may get James the cavs arent going to win anything this year he must be frustrated there. Orlando not going to well at the moment still a lot of improving in us. Carter is getting more and more into form though so that good need Hoawrd to step it up a bit too
