The Turnover Tortured Toronto

Toronto (6-3) @ Atlanta (4-5)

The Raps needed to survive this last game without Carter before he comes back. Mo-Pete needed to pick up scoring and Alvin Williams needed to hold on to the ball. Walt Williams got the start again.

Toronto hung with Atlanta, going into the third quarter, tied at 42. But the Hawks went on a 15-2 run to start the third. From then on, Toronto had to play catch up. On the boards, 'Reef and Ratliff abused the Raps, grabbing a comping 28 rebounds. Also, Alvin Williams, Walt Williams and Lidsey Hunter had a loose handle on the ball, and combined for 15 turnovers.

Toronto brought it within 2 at one point in the fourth, but key freethrows by Jason Terry sealed the game. Atlanta gets the victory 94-90 and move to 5-5, as Toronto's 4 game winnning streak comes to an end.

Atlanta STATS
Jason Terry - 15 points, 11 assist
Shareef Abdur-Rahim - 24 points, 12 reobunds.

Toronto STATS
Morris Peterson - 19 points, 6 assist
Alvin Williams - 15 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assist

We have done probably the greatest start to an NBA franchise ever we've had many OT games,many close games but we've won them all. I have won around 75% by 1 or 3 points for most of my games I will probably make my own journal in another thread lol ....

[image] http://media.nba.com/media/playerfil...on.jpg[/image] 20 points a game 8 boards and 6 assist isn't bad, since his teammates are playing way better
X-factor - Rashard Lewis has a noticeable 21 points and 8 boards.

2. (7-4)
- 23 points and 14 boards are good, but his running mates aren't so well.
X-Factor - guard depth this year should help this team alot...

3. (6-3)
Marbuary has the 'hot' hand in Phoenix right now, and Marion is playing well.
X-Factor - 'All Eyez on Me' is what Penny should be thinking.

4. (6-4)
'Sheed leads this team on the court, and in scoring with 20 an outing
X-Factor - Pippen and Stoudamire are playing so-so right now, but this goes to show how much better they could be.

5. (5-4)
The Ming Dynasty is leading all rookies with 15.7 ppg, and 8th in the league in rebounds with 11.7
X-Factor - Seems like everybody forgot about Steve Francis right? WRONG, don't count him out with 22 points and 7 assist to lead his team in both categories.

6. (6-5)
Dirk is doing his best, but you have to think, can a team with Finely, Nash and Dirk go 6-5? Prime example right here. Nelly should be gettin' on them right now
X-factor - The Mavs are allowing alot of points. That's all I'll say.

7. (6-5)
'Grizzlies?' is what your thinking, but J-Dub has an astouding 19 points and 7 dimes a game.
X-factor - Shouldn't get ahead of themsleves. It's all in the head, right now.

8. (6-6)
Peja has 18 points and he is leading the team. Something's not good.
X-Factor - Need all of their offensive threats to make themselves 'true' offensive threats.
------------------------------------------------------------

WHO'S ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN ?

9. (5-6)
Kobe is in the top 5 in scoring with 25 a game. He's also gettin more than a few boards, along with leading the team in assist. What else do they need ?
X-Factor - Shaq only scoring 17 a game? That's what they DON'T need. Obviously Shaq needs more touches.

Toronto routs ailing Pacers

This game started out horrible, 21-6 at one point in favor of the Pacers in the 1st quarter. The Raptors went on extremely important and LONG runs throughout the game. They also made key defensive stops. Vince went on a cold streak during the 2nd quarter, but helped the Raptors finish the game on a 21-5 run. Easy enough, the Raptors win 102-81.

Toronto STATS
Vince Carter - 32 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assist
Antonio Davis - 21 points, 17 rebounds
Morris Peterson - 16 points, 6 rebounds

Indiana Stats
Reggie Miller - 17 points
Brad Miller - 12 points, 17 rebounds
