Raptors Bow To Suns

Toronto was in the game only in the 1st quarter against the mighty Phoenix Suns and then faltered to lose , 98 - 115. Chris Bosh's absence this time was felt especially with PG Jose Calderon out. TJ Ford ( 19 pts., 9 ass ) tried his best to match the Suns' speedy game but Steve Nash ( 10 pts., 15 ass. ) and Company were just too much . Andrea Bargnani ( 18 pts., 8 reb. ) continues to improve his game . Jorge Garbajosa did not see action in the final half when he sustained an injury chasing after a loose ball. TJ hurt his back in the game . Coach Sam Mitchell said ' When it rains , it pours '. I'm not sure if Sam was referring to the spate of injuries... or the barrage of baskets for the Suns !
It was a display of running game that Bryan Colangelo wished his boys to acquire after a season or 2 . And power too as displayed by the Suns' mobile big guy , Amare Stoudamire ( 28 pts., 10 reb. ) . Amare had his way last night . ' He's like a man among boys ' said Phoenix halftime announcer . Amare was simply overpowering with his various dunks performed under the admiring eyes of the Raptors big men . ' Amare is a brute ' said coach Mitchell. ' Amare has the ' wow ' factor ' added ex Suns great Thunder Dan ( Majerle ) . No worry . The Raptors have the bow factor . It's a lot easier to perform !

Lady bowing : I like your shoes .

Man bowing : I love those legs !
