After The 1st Qtr of our Season opener against the Nets things look pretty promising as the Raps are looking pretty even matched against one of the contenders of the east. Looking at the stats you think the score would be different as the Raps are down 23-23. The Raps are shooting better(42%) than the Nets (38%) but as you take a closer look you see the Raps have failed to do the little things like hit free throws (0-2) Box Out (The NEts already have 8 offensive rebounds and get out on the fast break (2 fast break points) hopefully the earful J.P. gave them will whip them back into shape. The Star of the game so far has been Jason collins with 6 pts and 7 rebs (4 offensive rebs)

as the first half come to an end the raptors are currently down 47-51, the raps have picked up the hustle as they only allowed 4 off rebs this qtr but that is still to many. They have sent both of NJ's bigest contributors(JAson Collins and Richard Jefferson) to the bench after they picked up theyre 3rd fouls. The main reason for the raps being down is TJ Ford whos had terrible shot selection(3-9) and horrible passing which has lead to 17 fast break points for the Nets, hopefully he will straighten up in the 2nd half.

well we lost 114 to 81 thanks to TJ FOrd who allowed Jason Kidd's 22 points and 7 assists marcus williams 7 pts and 2 ast and jeff mcginnis' 7 pts and 2 assts, thats 36 pnts and 11 ast by NJ pg's if this continues im going to be moving Tj b4 season's end or leting him become a FA during the off season
notes* TJ FORD also had 7 turnovers

Well, to start off:
I like the idea letting the users vote for the next step and your writing is quite good.

What I don't like is that there is just plain text which makes it not really enjoyable. And try to make use of the edit button. When nobody posted in between there's no need for a quadruple post.

Oh and btw. I think releasing Clifford Robinson was a mistake, he's still quite good and could have been a quite good Center. (he's a PF/C)

Well, that's it so far.

i think you should devlelop Bargnani and then trade an uhappy bosh because then you'll still have a c or pf or whatever your giong to play him
