On the Raps side, i thought TJ played ok, Bargs did decent with the touches he was given, and once again Joey played ok. Too bad no one really played D. I dont understand why Mitchell didnt stick Rasho out against Dampier right off the start, I thought we got him to match up against guys like Damp. Something needs to change, not sure if its the coach or something, but personally I think the Raptors got too much talent to do so bad. (it was funny that they kept the streak alive tho, DMart had me thinking he was gonna dribble the clock out)

I really took nothing but postivies from this game. I expected that it would be a blowout as the Mavs are a far, far better team. I think the Raps came out in awe and just stood around. They showed some guts at least coming back and yet again glimpses from many players that they are improving. Was a learning experience in a game they could never win irregardless unless the Mavs have a complete and utter breakdown.
The game to me was fairly meaningless with the real contests coming up next. Celtic's and the Knick's are two teams that they need to beat and who them matchup with in terms of talent. Now those are games where you can evaluate them and see how they stack up so far.
