What, no double standard? If TJ had this type of game there would be 30 new trade threads on the Trade board including him.

That was some of the worst defensive play I have ever seen in a player, not just a PG. Good lord that was awful.

Exaggerating there much? He only played 18 minutes tonight, he struggled, watching Felton try to guard T.J was something though...

The Warriors cheer squad is all new this season. I miss the old squad. They had spirit and personality. The new squad is all T&A and makeup.

I remember when you guys hooted and hollered about not getting respect before the season and squealed at Hollinger for saying the Raptors would be worse than last sesaon...and he was right! lol.

They were on pace to win 50 games before the Bosh thing. Then there is also Ford who missed 30 games. Jorge G. thier starting sf has not even played a single game.

....so do we all get to expect perfect health for every player? As great as Bosh is, as big an explanation for that 10-game stretch in March is that you spent 8 of them on the road, and the final five of those against West playoff teams. Bosh missed 13 games last year anyway.

Hollinger predicted the Raptors to do worse because every single player on the Raptors played better than expected in order to get to 47 wins. Calderon, Ford, Bosh, and Parker held up, Garbajosa got actually improved upon with Moon, and Mo Pete was neatly replaced by Delfino. The biggest problem is that Bargnani took a big step backwards, and Kapono isn't nearly as good as Joey Graham. Even with that, this team is almost exactly as good as last year... you've been unlucky, for one thing, your pythagorean wins suggest you should have 44 instead of 38. Nonetheless, I expect the Raptors to finish with somewhere around 43, meaning not too different from the previous season.
