Toronto Raptors minus Chris Bosh

I'm missing Bosh here... he's out 4 games straight now because of his knee. With an average of over 20 points per game, he's not bad when he's on the court, but with all the injuries this season I'm starting to forget what he looks like.

(Easy for me to say, right? Closest I come to these guys' physical exertion is when I'm asked to carry groceries, and I complain about that too.)

Trampled by the Bulls

Well, the Toronto Raptors got beat by the Chicago Bulls. Apparently the whole Wallace's-headband-controversy wasn't enough to put them off their game (if you ask Wallace, it may have contributed to the win).

Of course, considering we haven't beaten the Bulls since 2002, I'm thinking the addition of the headband didn't matter much.

Now that is the way!

We're awake now!!!

Not just awake either, but going to so far as to prompt this beginning to a recent news story:

"It threatened to turn into a lazy afternoon for the Toronto Raptors after jumping out to a 27 point first half lead against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday..."

Nice turnaround! Of course, the game ended up a little tighter...

"Not only did they start by shooting the lights out to the tune of 60 percent in the first quarter, they controlled the boards – their own in particular. For most of the season the Raptors have been dreadful at cleaning their own glass and in the third quarter they suffered a relapse. A 27 point lead, whittled to 16 points by halftime, was cut to just four in the third frame after a 21-9 Pacers run."

...but we still pulled it out. That's the ticket, guys. Keep it up!
