Wasn't it 72 Wins? I thought they had double digit losses.

Hence the :lol: and the bold

Well it would have been 73 if Christie didn't block MJ's jumper!

i find it funny how nba.com decided not to put this upset at the top, considering how even an expected win for them was almost always at the headline.

Get er done!


He is exactly what we need. Veteran, smart player, puts up great reliable numbers. I'd rather not wait till he's done to sign him as a FA in 2010. Make a trade BC, tradeeeee.

Career averages of 18 ppg on 16 shots, %s of 43/36/69. He's a good player but he makes some dumb decisions with the ball and shoots too many outside jumpers for what his skill set should dictate (he's jacked up over 6 threes per game over the past 2.5 seasons).

Plus the team that virtually gave him away last summer is playing betterwithout him and the team he just joined has been considerably worse.

JRich is very Jamal Crawford like in his (overrated, inefficient) offensive production, only it's flown under the radar thus far.

This is reminiscent to the Raptors beating the Bulls that season they were unstoppable. Watch Boston go 72-10 now.

The problem with JRich is that he has no left hand. He can only go right, and he is passive as well. There is no way an athlete like JRich doesn't go to the line at least 5+ per game.

I would love to see the Bobcats get the 8th seed in the conference and potentially face the Celtics in the first round. That would remind me of the Dallas/GS series.

I'm really hoping the Celtics don't break the Bulls record for most wins in a season so this loss really helps.

Yeah, imagine that, a team playing hard every game of the year. They had one offnight, woop dee doo.

CHA beats BOS once and now theyre the GSW to DAL? You people are probably the same people that said they were gonna be a 6-8 seed and had no one beside the big 3 to help them and had no D, like Donut Dougy Smith

The expansion Raptors beat the 73-win Bulls way back when. And I can remember a terrible 27 win Raptors team beating the Spurs in San Antonio three years back.

It's a very long season, even the top teams stink it up some nights.


:-?

How could you get the Bull's historic (72-10) record wrong? And what 27 win Raptors team are you talking about? I remember a close game, but don't recall a win. I also remember another close game in San Antonio, but Marshall's 3 didn't sink and that game wasn't a win either. In fact, the last time the Raptors beat the Spurs in San Antonio prior to last Fridays win was back in 2000-2001. But that was a 47 win Raptors team that was 1.2 seconds away from the Eastern Conference finals.

The year Carter got traded. This took place in T.O, btw.
Obama did not shut down the practice of torture, but merely repositioned it, to the American norm. The torture regime of Ford through Clinton, year by year, produced more US-backed strapped-down agony than was produced during the Bush/Cheney years.

If the Raptors could beat a 72-10 Chicago Bulls team, then Charlotte could sure as hell beat the Boston Celtics. Just goes to show that at any given night, any team can win.
