  1. Roger S from Canada writes: So did TJ impress New York Knicks enough to boost his trading value in this game? My other comment is, don't let the sudden chorus of "trading TJ Ford" from GlobalandMail, Toronto Star and Toronto Sun fool you. Toronto medias are not doing favors to Jose Calderon. Those medias had been kissing TJ no matter how bad Ford was, since long time ago. There must have reasons of turning their head under the table. Intelligent people know what all those are about. The medias are creating the problem rather than trying to solve the puzzle. Now I wonder why Jose wants to be part of the mess next season.

    Score does not exactly read like it was a romp. Didn't see the game.
  4. Bill Tweezer from Canada writes: I could pick a handful of my fellow globe and mail readers and we could spank the Knicks =] Go raps!!
  5. C Ta from Richmond Hill, Canada writes: I'm glad people have finally seen the light on Jose Calderon and how he deserves to be a starter on this team. Hopefully that will be the case for next season and years to come. Jose = Leadership whereas TJ = Dictatorship. No, seriously, watch/listen to his post-practice video on March 27, 2008.

    TJ: "I think I prepared myself mentally to go back out there to play as a starter and being able to have more dictatorship... that's just more natural for me."
    Reporter: "Did you say this team is a dictatorship?!"

    With that out of the way, I hope we've all got our TJ-hating out of our systems. I'm thrilled that TJ is playing smart, productive ball for the Raptors recently. He really needs to be an integral part of our playoff success but hopefully not as the Raptors' dictator, lol.

    Toronto earning the right to be swept out of the first round, that used to be the Leaf's job.
  7. Mike Potter from hamilton, Canada writes: The idea that "going to the floor" is good needs to be examined. If the floor doesn't hurt you the player that jumps on your back will. Toronto needs to be tougher in some aspects of the game but going to the floor over a single possession vs the certainty of getting hurt shouldn't be that hard for people to understand.
  8. Conrad Sola from United States writes:

    Great victory against a great team !!!

    TJ already happy?

    JC, if you can, leave the team at the end of the season. The management's team is a joke.

    (the third paragraph is not a irony)
  9. Roger S from Canada writes: "Conrad Sola from United States writes: JC, if you can, leave the team at the end of the season. The management's team is a joke." I can not agree more. The coach is a joke, the GM is cheap, the moral standard of the organization is low. I do not think they worth more than upper level seat price.

  11. albert strauss from Toronto,Ontario, Canada writes: From the line score it seem AB had a confusing game. 12 points and 5 fouls in 21 minutes. What was he doing out there? Certainly he was busy
  12. Big Cayman from South Toronto, Canada writes: Roger, Sola, I hope Jose stays and I'm sure he will, but if he leaves leave at the end of the season could you guys both see yourselves to go as well, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
  13. albert strauss from Toronto,Ontario, Canada writes: Big C: I endorse your suggestion
  14. Jackie Moon from Toronto, Canada writes: The little guy wants to be a dictator? We've got Napoleon incarnate on the Raptors!
  15. j k from Canada writes: "cruised to a comfortable victory"....jeeezuz...I guess that's what you get from a toronto basketball reporter these days...one of the cringe worthy stupid question-askers of the scrums...
    Fact is, they barely beat one of the bottom feeding teams without 2/3rds of its' starters.
    Bosh turned the ball over 5 times and allowed Jeffries to have a career night scoring...TJ came back into the game after a brief sit on the bench and the Raptors went 0 to 14 to a team with nothing left to play for.
  16. Bubba The Pas Huskies from The Pas Manitoba, Canada writes: I got a loonie to help pay Rojer's bus ticket to go visit Conrad...
    The game was ok, the team doesn't seem to like dominating lesser teams...must be a Canadian thing (like opening doors for strangers or plugging parking meters so folks don't get ticketed...)
    Tomorrow will be a good test. For those of you lucky enough to be there in person, give a cheer and clap for Mo Pete. Glad to see he's alive and well with an up and coming team.
    Lets see this Johnson guy in action. Rasho must have been asked about him before he was given the 10 dayer. And if he's good enough for Rasho...
    Go Raps!
  17. Tom Renolds from China writes: ha ha well done for the tall man sport. this raptor team has the winning thing for it. i am glad that the tall man have the sport for the show. it keeps them out of the trouble.
