Let Josh miss those 3s and we'd be crucifying him (deservedly). This is why I started Str8Talk. I'm sorry, but yesterday was AWFUL in my eyes. <BR/><BR/>We've been so dumbed down that we believe that beating a bad Raptors team on the road while giving up 110 pts is some sort of huge victory. I can accept some happiness over winning on the road, but I watch the elite teams in the league and you know what their quotes would be..."uh, we really need to put a team like this away." "WE can't start the way we did against good teams." "Our defense must get better or else we're looking at a first round exit." <BR/><BR/>I am extremely nervous about any coach that can with a straight face say - that a game vs. the Raptors is huge for a team playing for home court advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs. Huge!?!? Is this just me?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838862137960043254noreply@blogger.com
