That shirt was photoshopped.

[Cro_Ruption]

So hedo is overpaid? or still a great signing?

[JebronLames23]

Pretty sure that photo is legit. Nike sells those shirts.

[LLcoleJ]

That check my stats shirt is def photo-shopped but it's still pretty damn funny.

Ah.. Where can I find the original photo? and yeah it did look suspect to me when it first came out.

And at the super sensitivity from that cavaliers mod.. I was clearly joking, relax.

Not sensitive, you were just incorrect and I've been on this site long enough to know that no matter how wrong your comment was, someone is going to take it for gospel truth.

Right, but you knew what the " joke" was, right?

He played a terrible game but I don't blame Hedo's bad play of late. During the time when Calderon was out and Hedo stepped up to become the team's main playmaker, he was averaging somewhere around the ballpark of 15/5/6, which is what I expected him to average in the first place. Then Triano said that Hedo needed to do more scoring, took the ball out of Turkoglu's hands, and his recent suckage speaks for itself.

[Lionel Messi]

This isnt on Bosh...he set up Calderon for two wide open looks, hedo with at least one and bargnani with at least one adn they all missed. That's at least 11 points worth of good looks.

The cavs were sagging off him so it's either he take a jumper, run into them praying for a foul against the cavs on their homefloor (not happening) or make the D collapse and pass out. He didnt get many quality touches at all and when he did they either sagged off him or forced him to find the open man, which he did.

This is on missed free throws and the missed wide open looks late in the fourth by his supporting cast.

Overpaid. I don't think anyone thought it was a great signing. We were all just excited that we got Antoine Wright, Marco Belinelli along with him and also got to keep our MLE and LLE because of the trade.

"I was afraid to walk by them (the officials), they might call a foul,'' Turkoglu said.

Glad someone said something...raptors have been getting raped by the refs every time they face a top team.
The second quarter was really the worst part of the game, got better in the second half excpet for some bad calls (quick ass 3 second call on bosh but none on shaq the whole game?).

[delonte]

Each team had 21 fouls.
Cleveland took 9 more free throws

Only in the second quarter. That was preposterous. The second half was just the usual bias the cavs get at home, which im fine with because the better the team the more bias they get. Also home teams usually get more bias. So we were playing a top team in their building so i expect some bias, but the fouls in the last 5 mins of the 2nd Q were over the top.

[Dupp]

Hedo Turkoglu for a bag of peanuts and a small pepsi?.....anyone....please.

oh so now its a small pepsi

Raptors had soo many chances in the 4th quarter to take the lead but they all kept clanking shots. I wouldn't really blame it on the refs because it was a close game in the 4th quarter and the Raptors could have easily won the game if those shots they took actually fell because some of them were WIDE OPEN.

Cavs just executed better down the stretch and they got the win.

[Marlowe]

Raptors missed a great opportunity for a win as the Cavs were missing a lot of shots. Calderon and Bosh, they were awful in the 4th.
