Raptors out West


The Raptors got beat pretty handly on Sunday night in LA, but that I don't think that really upset too many Raptors fans, as the Lakers appear to have something special going on.

With O'Neill out of the lineup, it left Bosh to pound with Bynum, which Bosh is not built for, and clearly took away from his offensive game.

Something special about playing in LA with Jack Nicholson and David Beckham courtside, and Kobe seemingly scoring anytime he wanted. I enjoyed watching this game as much as any Raptors blow out loss I can remember.

My Sports Quick Thoughts

Leafs sign Burke. Although I think people in Toronto are overrating him, he is probably the best guy available, and hopefully he will bring some credibility back to a franchise, and a fan base that deserves it.

Surprise surprise, another Wide receiver in trouble. If you ask me, his days as a Giant are over.

On the same topic, this is the fourth or fifth incident recently involving an NFL player and a gun, the league as got to do something about the trend.

Ted Rogers has done much for the Toronto sports scene even though he was not the biggest fan himself, we thank him and his family for the contributions and keep them in our prayers.

Bosh may be putting up MVP numbers, but MVPs don't come from .500 teams.

The Browns have gone from 2 quality starting quarterbacks, to none. Did you hear that return specialist Josh Cribbs is the backup QB this weekend?

interesting thoughts.

2 things:
1.) There is no way the NFl can stop what players do when they are out at night clubs. Limiting them from having guns is pretty much impossible.

2.) Shouldn't an MVP candidate (Bosh) be able to put up more than 12 pts against Andrew Bynum (surgically repaired kee)?

A couple thoughts.....

Well, i dont know what they can do, but they clearly need to do something, and I dont know if you watched the game, but the Lakers did everything in their power to stop bosh, everytime he touched the rock the entire defense shifted to him and forced a pass. They made the other 11 guys beat them, and frankly, they can't.
