Toronto Raptors 93 Los Angeles Clippers 89

I was going to start this article off by talking about the last 2 minutes of the game. About when Hassan Adams entered the game, but we won, why complain. So I couldn't watch or hear the game to see how we did so I watched the ESPN Gamecast. The Gamecast thing is very creative with the little animations and such. You have to have patience though. I'm going to totally base this recap on stats, which doesn't always help.

First I clap my hands for J.O. He went 7/15 and it all came from the first three quarters. He went to the line 6 times and made all of them and finished the game with 20 points, nine rebounds, 4 offensive. I should also add 5 BLOCKS!! That is a pretty good stat line. Chris has his share too, finishing with a double-double 26 points, 11 rebounds. AND he went to the line nine times. So our twin towers we're doing their 'thang'. Which is probably why we won. Our bench guys showed up to work for a bit. No Il Ravioli, Leg Contusion, which sucks. And we didn't get to see the Clippers newbies (OK veterans) Davis and Camby. Some mentionable stats:

• 7 turnovers!!
• Went to the free throw line 33 times
• Our 3 PGs combined for 13 assists out of 18, with only 3 turnovers. Good Ratio
• Ukic played more minutes than Solomon
• But than Hassan Adams got floor time. He went 0 for2, no free throws...
  
• Humphries did his mediocre thing 12 points, 5 rebounds
  

Now for the section called Swingmen.
All four men, who shall remain nameless because they know they are, combined for 6-26 from the field, 3-9 from behind the arc, 11 rebounds, 19 points and a full 48 mins of absence. I am soooo disgusted. One was playing like an old man with weak legs, Another was playing like a one trick pony who kept going for the 3, even though he was missing, another was having one of his USUAL bad days and the other, well, he just wasn't competing. I hope this isn't how we will be all season, Cause that would just be a waste of time. Most teams' star player is a swingman so if that is our weakness its going to be looong year.

As a team we shot bad, but the 20 points off of 13 Clipper TO, and the 27 points we got from the charity line is, in the end, what saved us from another lost. 38.8% isn't going win games especially if your opponent is shooting a nice 44.4%. So we owe this one to our bigs. Because we won this game, we will be facing either FC Barcelona at 7:30 or Kobe and Crew at 10:30. Oh the Joy! These games wont be on TV either. Hopefully LA Radio, or TV. But I doubt it. SO I will See ya'll tomorrow
