Daniel Orton walking over to the Raptors bench... "Hey... you guys need a center??"

Good game guys. Very entertaining. I would be pissed if we weren't going for lottery balls.

who are you trying to get? i know Drummond is staying another year so....Davis?

Of course anyone with the first pick will take Davis, but most Raptor fans feel we'll be drafting between the 3-5 pick. I'd like to go with Barnes if we land there.

Btw, I don't think the Raptors would be too interested in Drummonds. We drafted our future center last year.

How many wins do we need over the sixers to get the 4th seed , 10 ?

They're both losing right now, if they do end up losing, the Magic will be 3rd in the east.

This win makes me 4-0 this season with game threads

Van Gundy walked out of the locker room with a Raptors team doctor following the game and was overheard complaining of chest pains. Asked how he was feeling when he returned, Van Gundy answered "I'm not doing real well." .

A win is a win!... ON TO THE NEXT ONE!

All road wins are good wins. Look at the Sixers losing on the road to the Bucks; the Pacers also lost on the road. Orlando winning road games and the Pacers losing is why Orlando is the current #3 and the Pacers the current #5.

Didn't read the whole topic, but..
Is it only me or Aaron Gray was pathetic on pick and roll defense? Everytime Gray was involved in p&r Dwight got open. That's why, i think, Magolire had to finish the game for them..
Also, i liked when Johnson blocked Glen Davis, commentator said "Get that baby garbage out of here!". I'd like to address those words to Otis Smith

This team looks so much better when we stick to an 8 man rotation. A good sign for the playoffs.

I honestly think that if we stand pat and don't make any moves....Then a tough decision has to be made....That decision is moving Turk to the bench....It's not because he's playing bad or anything it's just that he defers WAY too much in the Starting lineup for the first 2 or 3 quarters....It's obvious to see that he's not aggressive....Putting him on the bench imo kills 3 birds....
**Strengthens the Bench**
**Allows Turk to be more aggressive and focus on himself instead of deferring and disappearing for 3 quarters**
**Possibly opens up more opportunities for Ryan to be more involved offensively**

I'm obviously in the camp that wants Ryan to be treated like our second option as our second best player.....but sometimes the reason why he isn't is simple....Just 1 ball and a lot of options....got to get Dwight his touches....Jameer has to get shots up...J-Rich has to get his attempts....Hedo has to be involved....

Place Turk on the bench and it makes us slightly better imo....he would still get his minutes and he can still be Mr. 4th quarter but he would be a more aggressive player in the earlier quarters too....Would Stan ever consider doing that if we have the same roster past the deadline?
