NBA Top 10: Friday

Although I watch the Top 10 NBA plays daily, I wouldn't post this unless it were special. Last night, I had the privilege (yes, privilege) of watching the Toronto Raptors man-handle the New Jersey Nets 118-95. Even though we still won by 23 points, the score is misleading; we played our third-stringers for much of the 4th quarter and the Nets managed to close what was once a 40-point lead. The whole game was a highlight reel. By the 12th alley-oop, the allure was gone and the half-empty ACC let out a feeble cheer. The Top 10 from last night features not one, not two, but three plays from last night's Raptors game, two of which feature my man Demar Derozan, and thus I am posting this for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy ladies and gents.

Hi Joey (followed by vigorous hand waving)

Tonight the Raps are in Denver to take on the Nuggets. Should be an interesting game after their game the other night in Phoenix (a team playing very well right now) went down to the buzzer. Also, the Raps will see a familiar face on the other side of the court. Joey Graham, the Raptors 1st-round pick in the 2005 Draft, is now a member of the Nuggets, primarily coming off the bench. The thing about Joey is when he's on, he's on. Too bad that's not too often...o well, he's still fun to watch (sorry for the poor quality).

Dunk of the Night

Ah our first Raptors post. Expect any and all things Raptors to be posted on this blog (we're both obsessed - it's slightly unhealthy) And especially anything like this from my boy DeMar Derozan
