He's supposed to take it really easy this time, and it doesn't look like he'll hit a court until all doctors clear him. Then, there's lengthy rehab. It's extremely doubtful he'll return this year, and frankly, I might even be mildly surprised to see him for the Beijing Olympics at this point. Manel - Last thing I heard was on a Raptors broadcast.

Bosh and Calde were ok but I can't understand why we were so predictible in OT... if you have a guy who's shooting well (in fact if you have only ONE guy shooting well) I don't know why this guy has zero shoots on OT. This kind of matches remains me how we can miss Garbajosa ... and TJ! BTW, do you have news from Garbo's return? no news in spanish media for weeks.... Wow, they were hungry and we were horrible.

Between the two friends of Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter from NC, Jamison is the guy who has the most balls by wide margin (and probably not divorced as well, am I getting too personal?). I think he is the reason of why Washington is no longer a bad team. Whenever our Raps play DC, I always feared Jamison. Caron and Gilbert can score 100 pts, but I always know it's Jamison that will make all Raps fans pull their hair out of their heads with his non-stylish scoring to his god-damn tip-ins. For the DC fans, you better appreciate everything Jamison has brought you for the last 4 years. Hope we can bring much better for tonight.

Need I say more? On a side note, how good is Jose Calderon! Another all-star performance last night. Anthony Parker. 3-16. Need I say more?

On a side note, how good is Jose Calderon! Another all-star performance last night.

They know for sure, and I'm just hoping they've stewed enough to make a go at it. AltRaps - Very much so. This team this year, just doesn't seem to have the emotion behind everything. Bosh is not a very emotional leader, for sure, but I think that TJ was one of the few raw emotional guys on this team. Yes, that got him into trouble, but without that guy there, this team has problems getting pumped up. A guy like Humphries playing the way he did last night should have been that spark, but no one else seemed to take it to heart. TFan - For sure. He was doing good things other than scoring, but the Raptors were struggling so badly for SOME kind of offense, I guess that's why they had to make the move. The second half was a different story with some blown assignments. Brendan - I don’t think the Raptors are wondering much.

We didn't deserve the win, but should have blown them out. The Wizards reminded me of the Raptors of old: young, hungry, them against the world.

Bargs played well in spite of poor shooting. Besides, a couple of his fouls were really close calls, and if he had played with only 2 fouls, he would have helped us to remain close. IMHO, if we can play with more intensity tonight, we should be able to get even. Offensive rebounds and pure hustle was how the Wiz did it. Bargs played well in spite of poor shooting.
