However , in the battle of red haired hoopters , Matt Bonner edged Brian Scalabrine.Good for the New Hampshire born Raptor .He always plays respectable ball in front of friends and families. The Red Rocket , as he is popularly known , can perhaps buy himself a car now. He still commutes ( see photo ) to ACC every game day.

Green's Antics Angers Chuck

American Idol booted out its youngest male hopeful - Kevin Covais .A lot of people were saddened when it was announced that Kevin otherwise known as Chicken Little got the least number of votes .

One other teenager got a lot of votes at least from the hometown crowd. In the game last night between the Raptors and Celtics , Gerald Green , the youngster playing for Boston , got a last second alley hoop pass from Tony Allen for a dunk. It was an excellent display of athleticism , except to Raptors' broadcasting team and members of the visiting team . With the outcome a foregone conclusion and only a few seconds left in the game , players from the Boston are expected to waste away the time without attempting a basket until the buzzer ending the game sounds. Chuck Swirsky was furious when Green did his thing . ' Wait 'til Boston is in Toronto ' , Chuck said. it ( antics ) will not be forgotten ' he added.
