The T-Mac trade was good for in the game,but in real life,there is no way that T-Mac would go back to Toronto,they hate his guts there.Plus I would keep Bosh no matter what.

TORONTO WINS AGAINST THE STRUGGLING CHARLOTTE

CHARLOTTE – TORONTO 103-113

TORONTO, ON – The Bobcats have a horrible season going on. They lost 4 games and only won 2 coming into today’s game. The Raptors are on a roll and are playing great with 8-2. As T-Mac entered the arena, none threw hamburgers or anything at him. They just greeted him like a new player to a team. ”I guess they forgot what I did to the Raptors, but now that I see the team needs me, I’m not going to be a sissy and just play” In the 1st quarter both teams were close, if it wasn’t for Rush, the Bobcats wouldn’t be this close in the 1st. In the 2nd quarter Doneyell Marshall got injured. Everybody was worrying about his injury. He went to the bench and Shaun Brown, the doctor, took a look at him. Of course Toronto needed more support inside, and an absence of Marshall hurt them. The teams were tied at the half. In the 3rd quarter Doneyell Marshall decided to go in. He was O.K. after the injury. The ‘Cats just blew the 3rd quarter and were in the big hole, down by 13, going into the 4th quarter. In the 4th, all the Raps needed to do is to play average basketball and they got the win.

The ‘Cats were led by Rush with 25. Okafor pulled down 13 rebounds and scored 15 points. Knight had 14 points and 3 assists. They shot 51% from the field and 45% from the three-point line.

McGrady was the man of the Match with 27 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. Rookie JR Smith scored 13 points, Casey Jacobsen was perfect from the 3-point line and Dikembe Mutombo pulled down 7 rebounds. Injured Donyell Marshall scored 10 points and pulled down 6 rebounds. Alston scored 19 and had 5 assists. Raps shot 52% from the field and 44 from three-point line.

LeBRON IS OUT, MUTOMBO IS OUT, THE RAPTORS WIN

TORONTO – CLEVELAND 108-88

TORONTO, ON – This game was a really physical one. LeBron got injured in the 1st quarter and was out for the rest of the game. The game was a blow out, because James was injured. Mutombo was injured, too, but not as bad as LeBron. The Raptors got their 10th win of the season. (I didn’t write a lot, since it was a blow out).

McInnis led the Cavs with 22 points and 4 assists. Gooden pulled down 9 rebounds and scored 11 points.

McGrady was the game’s MVP once again, scoring 26, pulling down 1 rebound, and recording 6 assists. Prince also had a great game with 25. Alston scored 14, and Williams pulled down 7 rebounds and scored 12 points off the bench.

McGrady gets 37 as the Raptors beat the Bucks

DECEMBER 16, 2004
MILKWAUKEE – TORONTO 99-109


TORONTO, ON – McGrady was sensational again leading the Raps to their 11th win of the season. He scored 37 points in 28 minutes (out of 40) that he played and was able to score 6 threes!

In the first half he scored 20 points of his 37. The Bucks were led by Mason and Redd. Joe Smith wasn’t very productive in this game, because Marshall made him work and went to the line a couple of times. As the players went to their bench the score was 50 to 53. During the half time, the Raptors switched to Man-to-Man Defense, which helped them a lot in the 2nd half. Dikembe Mutombo was not in the starting line up today because he broke his nose and Rafael Araujo, the rookie from Brazil was in the starting line up again. Mutombo came only in the 2nd half in the 3rd quarter and scored 1 point. Donyell Marshall nailed 16 points and was leading the team in rebounding. He pulled down 14 rebounds.

It came down to the battle between two franchise players Redd vs. T-Mac. T-Mac scored 12 points in the 4th quarter. At about :50 Mark the Bucks were losing by only 4, and Mason missed a three pointer. Marshall quickly rebounded and passed to Alston. Alston holded on to the ball and passed to T-Mac. Bucks quickly fouled him. He scored only 1 from the line. The Bucks tried another three but missed again.

In the end, the Raps only needed to do is to hit free throws. They did that and got another win. The Bucks are 2-4 now and the Raptors are the 3rd best team in the league with 11-2.

The Raptors lose to Spurs in a heart breaking loss

ImageToronto- 98
ImageSpurs- 99

Box Score

SAN ANTONIO, TX - Today's game was probably one of the biggest heart breakers in the Raptors history. "We were leading pretty much all game, but at the end we just gave up and lost" - Said Sam Mitchell after the game. The Raptors started off with a great first quarter, holding the Spurs only to 14 points. "I guess we were over confident and it cost us the game" - Said Tayshaun Prince, who scored 13 points and had 5 assists.The Spurs were playing bad offense in the 1st quarter, pretty much all of their points came from Parker.

"The Raps were playing great in the 1st half" - Said Popovich. In the 2nd quarter.The Raptors and Spurs were playing averagely. T-Mac didn't have a great game and thats one of the reasons the team lost " I tried my best out there, and I didn't score enough for my team to win" - Responded T-Mac after the game. As the teams headed into the locker rooms, the Raptors led by 12. 50-38.In the half time the Raptors head coach, Sam Mitchell, told his players to pressure Parker.But that wasn't the right decision. "Parker wasn't their key guy in the second half, TD was" - Said Alex Enlglish, the Assistant Coach. In the 3rd quarter Duncan hurt the Raptors a bit, but not as a lot as in the 4th quarter.

It all came down to whoever has the better offense. Both teams were really close in the end. At about 1:00, the Raptors were leading by 1, 95-96. The Spurs passed the ball to Duncan, and the Raptors started double teaming him. But TD quickly passed the ball to Barry( 12 points,4 rebs) that scored an 18 footer. There was exactly 23.3 seconds. The Raptors took a TO. In the time out Sam Mitchell told the guys to pass the ball to McGrady who should run a pick and roll with Araujo and score. But Spurs D# was very good and didn't allow Araujo to make a pick n rool.McGrady shot the ball from about free throw line but was fouled by Ginobili. He made both free throws. The Spurs took at time out. There was exactly 4.4 seconds left. Tim Duncan got the ball and scored from the top of the circle with 1.4 secs left. The Raptors took a time out. They tried to pass it to T-Mac but he was closed. Alston recieved the ball and tried to shoot a three at the buzzer, but missed.

"I'm so frustrated. I should have gotten the ball!" - Said T-Mac after the game." I agree with Tracy, I made a very stupid thing, I should have passed it to him" - said Alston.

BOXSCORES:

TORONTO, ON - Todays game was close, but the Raptors are victorious once again. "After the game in San Antonio, I tried to forget about the loss and concentrate on this game" - T-Mac said. In the 1st quarter Steve Francis was on fire and made 3 or 4 in a row, but then was substituted and the Raptors were able to get close to the Magic and by the end of the quarter the Magic's lead was only 3. In the 2nd quarter Casey Jacobsen came in and he was a nightmare for Orlando. C.J. made 4 three pointers that gave the Raptors their first lead of the game. "I was stroking it from outside, it was awesome" - Said Casey after he game, who shot 8-17 from the 3 point line. Tayshaun Prince was a big factor in the game,too. He scored 12 points in the first half, with a huge dunk on Dwight Howard that made the fans jump out of their seats. The end of the 2nd quarter was interesting, because Turkoglu almost made a half court shot, it hit the backboard, the rim, but rolled out. In the 3rd quarter, the Magic's offense was non existing and the Raps were able to pull down a lot of rebounds in that quarter. Donyell Marshall crashed the boards with 13, although he only scored 7. "I don't know, the ball was just falling into my direction!" - Marshall said.

The 4th quarter was ery physical. Rafael Araujo and Dwight Howard almost got into the fight. there were some pushing and shoving in the paint, and after Marshall blocked Hill, the two of them started talking trash, neither of them got a technical but both coaches put them on the bench so they wouldn't get into the fight. The Magic were a little bit better in the 4th quarter, mainly because the Raptors were very confident in their win. But the Raptors hit the intentional free throws and got their 12th win of the season. The struggling Orlando are now 2-9. "If we're gonna play like this all season, we're going to be the worst team in the league" - Said Chris Jent, the head coach of Magic, after the game.

Box Score

TORONTO, ON - The game wasn't a blow out but it wasn't very close either. If the Rockets wouldn't played horribly in the 3rd quarter, this game might have went right down to the wire. In the 1st the Raptors weren't able to get anything going in the paint, since Bosh and the chinese giant were there. Then Van Gundy decided to take them out and the Raptors started hitting from close range. Even though they were trailing by 5, they weren't giving up. In the 2nd quarter the Raptors played O.K. and the quarter was tied. "Well we were trailing by 5 at the end of the 1st half, but things definately went our way in the 3rd" - Said J.R. Smith who scored 6 points and had 1 assist.

In the 3rd quarter there was nothing that the Raps couldn't do - inside scoring, 3's, mid range, dunks, lay-ups, FT, and good defense made it a blow out for the Rockets." They played so good, we couldn't stop them" - Said Jalen Rose who scored 26 points and had 6 rebounds. At the end of the 3rd quarter the Raptors were winning by 14. In the 4th the teams were close.The Rockets just didn't have enough to win the game. The Raptors are getting their 13 W of the season and the Rockets are now 3-2.

NEXT GANE TORONTO AT ATLANTA

TRADE RUMORS:
-The Raptors are thinking about trading Prince to the Clippers for Magette
-Trying to get the 1st round pick from the struggling teams, such as Orlando and Charlotte.
-Get rid of Alvin Williams, his contract is big and he sucks

The Raptors win again, this time the losers were Atlanta

ImageAtlanta - 99

ImageToronto - 104

Box Score

Tornto, ON - Everybody expected the game to be a blow out and that Atlanta will lose. The Hawks did lose, but not in a blow out. Their best player, Al Harrington, didn't have one of his best games, but Tyronne Lue and the rookie Josh Childress steped up big to make the score close. "Even though they (Hawks) lost, they fought hard and were almost able to win, but their 4th quarter breakdown, gave us the win" - said Tracy McGrady who led the Raps with 20 points. The 1st quarer was very close as both teams were able to hit some shots and miss some. Lue was agressive at the beginning and quickly tired out. Rafael Araujo carried the Raptors in the 2nd. He scored 10 points that quarter. "Well, nobody wanted to help out, so I just stepped up and made some shots" - said Rafael Araujo, who pulled down 12 rebs and scored 16.

The 3rd quarter was a close quarter, but at the end the Raps scored some from outside and the Hawks were in the big hole to start the 4th. Fourth quarter was close also. The Hawks were even leading by 5 at one point. Then Sam Mitchell decided to took a TO. " I told my guys to finish them with the three pointers, I put in Jacobsen, McGrady and Alston and they came big for me" The Raps scored 3 3's and were leading by 4 with about 30 seconds still to go. The Hawks got the ball and passed it to Lue who missed a three. Rebound by Araujo and passed to Alston. He made both free throws. The Hawks missed again and Alston finished the game with another 2 free throws. "We played great down the stretch and deserved the win" - said Donyell Marshall.

Tracy McGrady dunks a 360 on the breakaway

Los Angeles, CA - The battle of the best 2 teams in the league wasn't very interesting. Both teams weren't giving their best shot. In the 1st the Raps played way better than LA, but at the end LA made 2 threes and the game was close. In the 2nd quarter LA just gave up and the Raptors quickly took advantage of it. Tayshaun Prince was playing very good that quarter and dunked on Lamar Odom. The fans started booing, either they didn't like Odom's defense or they didn't like Prince's dunk. I'd say that they didn't like Odom's D, because the dunk was awesome. At the end of the 2nd quarter the Lakers tried to do something, but good Raps defense were able to hold the Lakers to 22 points that quarter.

In the 3rd quarter the Raptors were playing bad, especially the starting line-up. Sam Mitchell substituted in Mutombo and he made some good shots in the paint. "I was pretty much the only one trying in that quarter, other guys just stayed on one place and watched me go to work" - said Mutombo. The Lakers played slightly better that quarter and were able to cut the lead to 5 as the teams headed to their benches. In the 4th quarter the teams were close. Kobe Bryant got the ball and tried to pass it to Atkins. Alston tipped it and it rolled in t-Mac's direction, he quickly picked it up and did a 360!!!The crowd went crazy, even though the game was in LA. "That was one of the sickest dunks I've ever seen in the game" - said Rafer Alston who scored 10 points and had 6 assists. The Raps won and got their 15th win of the season. The Lakers are still number 1 in the West, but not in the league!

I don't know why there aren't many comments in here, maybe because it's with the Raptors....... But anyway, this is a pretty good dynasty.

Just keep up what you're doing, and keep trying to find ways to improve your dynasty. I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of your dynasty, but I guess this is something that I can read from time to time to get a feeling of what it'd be like to have T-Mac instead of Prince. Keep up the good work. (Y)

RAPTORS TEAM TRAINING SESSION

Out of their 2975 the Raptors used 2500 points to have a team practice. The main point was the shooting and the conditioning."I want my players to be healthy, and in order to do that I need to take some time to work on their conditioing." - said Sam Mitchell during the practice: "We also need to work on our shooting from the free throw line. We are one of the worst teams in free throw %."
