Raps @ Washington - 7 pm - Raptors Win (Marz 5-7), TSN Options

[forsakenMarz]

Can we get some retribution on a road game? What's our road record anyay? Have we even won anything away from home?

[forsakenMarz]

What, no one's watching? Y'all are bandwagoner fans. I'll see you at the end of the game when you've found out the Raps won.

Douchebags...

Douchebags...

I took a look and we are up 63-57....hope we lose though. A win will just mask the ugly truth at this point.

[PBI]

This is a tough team to root for, so many Europeans.

[Mr. Coffee]

Cue the Hedo "Mr. Clutch" Turkoglu miss here on the last possession...

[god]

Why take a 3 pointer from no mans land on the final shot??? They could have at least tried to get a little closer to the net. Man Turkey sux balls, the coaching staff needs to realise he is not Mr Clutch.

[Mr. Coffee]

Really? A contested 26 footer on the last shot? Did Smitch draw that play up? Why am I even watching this?

[forsakenMarz]

Triano wanted overtime, he didn't care about the last play of regulation. And after turning it over last time we were this close... maybe it was the right move.

Now where are the douchebags? Y'all can come out from hiding now. We actually won a game. Bandwagon's open.

P.S. The refs were finally on our side tonight.

[Uncle Ted]

Maybe more people would join in, if you stopped calling everyone douchebags and bandwagon jumpers.

I'm just poking fun . Regardless, we've been through worse than a 5 game losing streak. Much worse. Lenny Wilkens worse. Where the only bright spot was Mo Pete's circus shots. Where you cheered and cringed everytime you saw Alvin Williams do a wicked cross over - cheered because it was sick, cringed because you though of how painful it must've been for his knees.

The days of Greg Foster are done and gone, we have reason to start watching and it's not to see Voshon Lenard set up his next contract. 21 games in and people want to fire the coach, trade Bosh (can't do it), or trade Bargnanni (seriously can't do it - he just had his rookie contract extended). I'm not saying don't be down on the team when they don't try (*cough* ATL *cough*), but giving up on them so early in the season?

This win means nothing. And they almost blew the game three different times. It should never have been anywhere close. And that last possession in regulation was pathetic.

If we win 4 of the next 5 with the favorable schedule we have coming up, then maybe people will be douchbags for continuing to complain. But there is still a TON of work for this team to accomplish to even think of getting a 5 or 6 seed in the East.

[PBI]

The Wizards shot 37% and almost won the game, the win is nice in terms of stopping the bleeding for one night but it's tough to be optimistic about this team because they tried to give this one away a number of times.

[Dellwell]

A win is a win no matter how they got it! After the crap-show in ATL & all the talk leading up to this game, I had faith enough that the Raps would win I even put some $$$ on it! Ha, did that almost backfire...

As for the last play in regulation, looks like it was to be a high-screen & roll w/Bosh screening for Turk. Turk seemed to wave Bosh off when Bosh went to set the screen. Good call Turk, glad that worked out for ya... Turk did however hit a tuff fall-away jumper at the end the shot clock to put the Raps up for good in OT. I'd hope Bosh would be in Turk's ear with something like "give me the f***ing ball..."

As for Bosh, he was once again the MAN. 8 offensive rebounds!! Impressive.

The Raps started the game very aggressive, pushing the ball for easy looks! DD played great in the 1st qtr taking the ball to the rim & getting out on the break. Even Jose was able to push the ball up the floor for the 1st time in his entire career! I'd REALLY like to see more of that.

Game Vs. Da Bulls tonight will tell a lot. Not even if the Raps play well but if they are able to put in the effort after OT in Washington. Get on the glass, get out in transition & get ready to help out Jose on D.Rose...

this is the one thing that bugs me about most of you. Even when the raps win you find excuses as to why. Could Washingtons low shooting percentage have something to do with a better defensive effort by the Raps. No must have just been an off night for the WIZ. Where did they try and gi ve the game away they were down by 7 in the fourth and came back to win. where exactly did they givve it away cause they had a lead in the first quarter and the wiz came back . thats basketball people. its a game of runs. I guess nothing short of the NBA title will make you happy. cant you all just say good game and move on

Ya well that goes both way buddy. Dont be jumpin on the supporters of this Team when we dont write them of after 20 games. See how it works? its called common sence which saddly 99% of humans dont have. they one the f***ing game man lets at least stop trashing the team for one night

[tjf11b]

I disagree. The same way you don't feel bad after your team lose one game following a five game win streak, you don't necessarily feel good with this win. Show me the tide is turning and then we can talk. A win in Chicago would make me feel good and confident. Barely beating the wizards in a game that was pretty much a must win is not a reason to throw a parade. If we can beat Houston and Atlanta at home and not get blown out in Orlando I will feel good about this team. what there is to be cheerful about right now?
