As soon as Ed came in the team got a lot more gritty Even Bargnani was playing D can we put this all together soon it looks pretty good. Hopefully Lowry is getting his confidence and tenacity back its been a while.
Good game even though it was an L, those offensive boards and Calderon turnovers killed us in late 1st and entire 2nd quarters..

Man we really gotta clean up our quarters or play with this intensity throughout a game, when the Raps click its pretty awesome to watch.

Anyway, good comeback effort. Second unit was awful in the first half led by Calderon who was atrocious. That stretch was where the game was decided.

What a wild game. I can't take many more of these Heart-wrenchers .. my girlfriend is starting to worry about my well being.
In related news, ESPN had a feature on the Rookies who saw action on Monday night; they had the following to say about our two rooks:
ESPN - Daily Dime wrote:On JV:
• Nobody spends more time on the court with his arm in the air calling for the ball in the block than Jonas Valanciunas. On most possessions, the 20-year-old Lithuanian has earned it. He uses every part of his torso, tuchus and base to carve out space for himself on the block. The most entertaining sideshow in the Raptors-Nuggets game was the endless game of rugby going on down low between Valanciunas and Kenneth Faried when the Raps had possession. One look at the wily shot-fake, nimble baseline drive and furious reverse dunk in the second quarter against Faried could sell the most ardent Valanciunas-skeptics on his frightening size-skill talents.
On Ross
• The Raptors need some defensive-minded wings in the rotation, and Terrence Ross represents the team's best hope in both the near and long term. He has quick instincts and Tony Allen size without the brute strength. On Monday night, Ross spent most of his time on Corey Brewer, then was part of Toronto's Hack-a-Vale strategy in the third quarter. The most promising moment for Ross came when he attacked JaVale McGee with an assertive baseline drive, then drew the foul en route to the basket. Not a big deal, except the whistle sent Ross to the line for his first pair of free throws of the season (he had a single unsuccessful attempt against Boston as part of an and-1). He followed that by stepping rhythmically into a pretty catch-and shoot jumper in transition.(ADD: This 3 actually really got the final big run going, if I'm not mistaken.)
