King James reigns over collapse
Hidden, perhaps, in the wake of Cleveland's 93-90 victory that stunned an Air Canada Centre crowd into silence, will be the way the Raptors blew a 20-point lead with lackadaisical efforts in two key components of any game.
It will be the team's utter inability to finish quarters with a sense of purpose that ticks them off. It will be the abject failure to rebound that makes them angry.
Cavaliers superstar in a league of his own
But helping James' cause was the way the Raptors played him in that decisive fourth quarter, when he outscored Toronto 24-20. Instead of sending a double-team or trapping him to force him to get rid of the ball and then try to deny him the chance to get it back, Toronto played him relatively straight up.
It was a costly decision because even when he didn't score, he made plays

Half-hearted?
A part of me would still love to see Vince and T-Mac together again.
Despited their equally 'half-heartedness'.
Half-hearted?
The topic of Tracy McGrady came up in the Pistons' locker room before a game last week. McGrady is now injured and unhappy in Houston. Reports there say he has told friends he wants to be traded -- again. One player, who shall remain nameless, joked that McGrady was becoming more and more like his cousin, Vince Carter. "They should call Tracy, 'half-man, half a season,'" the player cracked.

Yesterday was the most upsetting loss of the season for me for several reasons. Not the least of which is that I had third row platinum seats (XMas present). This was only the second game I've been to all season (the other was the OT loss in early Nov. against Boston).
I'm actually starting to worry that we might not even make the playoffs, esp. if T.J. doesn't return anytime soon.
