Toronto at New Orleans

Lowry back for this one, although Calderon will still be starting.

 

I really, really hope that Lowry is fully healthy this time and plays like he was at the beginning of the year (not necessarily those gaudy numbers, but just the way he was playing) because, as much as I like how Calderon has played filling in for Lowry, I really don't like all the talk about Calderon starting for the year, Lowry being on the trade block instead of Calderon, etc...

Nice first half for Lowry. I believe they were down 19-11 when he checked in and they finished the rest of the half on a 37-23 run. He played smart ball, didn't take any stupid risks or shots and, my personal favourite, was playing physical, pressure defense. He definitely outplayed Calderon in that half. Hopefully this is how he will play from here on out, but I'm going to need to see more than 10 minutes before I can say anything one way or the other.

 

 

Aside from that, all you really need to know about the first half was that Aaron Gray gave the end of the first interview. Yeah, this has been ugly.

Casey takes out Ed Davis to matchup with the Hornets going small, despite the fact that the Raptors were vastly outplaying them, and New Orleans proceeds to cut the lead from 13 to 5.

 

Typical Raptors 4th quarter. Go away from what is working and give up a lead.

Alan Anderson is my least favourite Raptor ever. Lowry looked awesome at the times I was able to watch (was in and out all night). I'm glad he responded so well to coming off the bench - they must have told him that this was still his team, he just needs to slow it down, and play his game. He is still our best player (says more about our team than him, unfortunately), and he just needs to let the game come to him.

 

That three he had blocked was just brutal, and is exactly what he was doing right before his injury that had people going bananas. He needs to be attacking, and finding open shooters, not settling for contested threes, especially late in a close game.

 

Side note: nice to see Demar getting some [expletive]ing calls! There's just literally no in between, its either no calls, or 10+ FT attempts, sadly it has been the first one more often. Would love to meet somewhere in the middle refs.
