Raptors Zero In On Wiz For A Win .

Score one for the Raps as they put the Wizards in place for 116 - 111 victory. Although Gilbert Arenas ( 33 pts., 2 ass.) made his usual quota, it was an uninspired performance for the master of buzzer beater ( he had 1 BB again in this game ). Chris Bosh ( 24 pts.,15 reb.) led a balanced attack by a TO team which shot 51% from the field . Six Raptors scored in double figures . At the last 7 min. mark of the game , the Raps were up by 22 points. ' They caught us on fire again ' Arenas said .' We got hot in the end but by then the margin was too big '. The end score was more respectable . Otherwise the team of Agent Zero would know how it is to buried in Ground Zero !

Funny how TO's luck is turning around this season . The division they are into is the weakest in the NBA for one reason or another. The team is relatively healthy and more importantly , the team is devoid of controversies from Management to the players. Even Mo Pete , the one player who is expected to be ' acting up ' due to Sam's use ( or misuse ) of him , is the epitome of a good team player . No wonder , the Raptors franchise is becoming the envy of the whole NBA. Well , not only the basketball world. Many Maple Leafs fans think the hockey team should follow the ways of its basketball team. Hire a topnotch GM and ask him to start a new ( and young ) team. Too bad there is only one Bryan Colangelo . Maybe if MLSE doubles his pay , BC could handle the 2 GM's job . By then , BC will be really ....busy !





BC : My left hand will be for the hockey phone and
my right hand will be for the basketball phone , OK ?
