today's game against Sacramento. A bit of a brain fart in the second and third quarter. They let Sacramento hang around.

The 4th quarter the D picked up and they went from being three down to running away with it.

The passing and chemistry displayed by the entire team today was something to behold. All 5 guys touching the ball on sharp quick passes without the ball hitting the floor, leading to a layup, dunk, or wide open shot. Guys making the extra pass and finding the cutting player for easy scores. Toronto was well over 60% in the final quarter. Really fun to watch, real impressive team game.

The point guards struggled today as did Johnson. The big three for Toronto were awesome (Bargniani even ventured into the key on offence on a couple of occasions looking for rebounds). Turk was great. Bosh was utterly awesome.

Coming off the bench Wright was great today. Tough defence and I don't think he missed until the final shot with 2 seconds left and the game out of reach. Great, great game.

The best part of this game was that as dominating as they were at times, it will provide a great coaching opportunity and there is time off to take advantage of the opportunity. There were mistakes and there was sloppy play which led to turnovers. There were times in the second and third where guys were just standing around or took the quick shot. It can easily be juxtaposed against the 4th quarter where ball management was exceptional and defence went to the next level as well.

The Raptors team who showed up today has everything it needs to be a miserable matchup for a top 4 seed in the playoffs...
