The Sun

Bosh boosts all-star bid

Credit Chris Bosh for a lot of that on the offence. He tormented Curry and every other big man, and some little men, that Thomas could throw at him in a 40-point, 11-rebound effort that can only help his all-star chances in a few week's time when the full team is announced.


Let's try it again

A little more than a year ago, Sam Mitchell wanted to know what he had in Andrea Bargnani so he gathered all his bigs threw a ball in the middle of the court one off day and basically said "Go get it."


"We did it yesterday," Mitchell said of the drill adding it will become an every day staple of Raptors practice for the foreseeable future.

"We're going to do that drill every day we practice until he gets better at it, that's all I know," Mitchell said yesterday.


Do-over for Heat-Hawks

The Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their game last month because the NBA said the official scorer ruled incorrectly that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out. It will be the first time since 1982 the league has sent teams back on the court for a replay.


The Star

Bosh sinks 40 to beat Knicks

With Bosh coming within three points of his career high and Toronto ran its record to 19-17, won its second straight game. Jamario Moon and Anthony Parker each had 13 points, the only other Raptors in double figures as they rode Bosh

Is the sunshine girl feature an offshoot of the Dove Real Beauty Campaign, per chance?

There was an interesting quote in the Sun from Parker, something like:

"The coach wanted our bigs to keep Curry and Randolph from the glass, so our wings could collect the loose boards"

I wonder if that's regularly our plan, or if it was custom made for the beefy Knick combo.

Man, the Hawks' scoring table doesn't seem too professionnal; they had us too, a couple years back...

^^ Last year actually. They screwed us out of 2 points which changes the game heading towards the last minute.

:| Bargnani was ok at the beginning of the year with rebounding. What the hell happened? I hope the drills work...
