If you can get a chance, check out the washington/dallas game. That was an epic game. John wall is going to be the next superstar. The miami game wasn't too entertaining. Lebron put on a show in the first quarter, and chris bosh put the icing on the cake in 3rd/4th. Dwayde fans can skip it as he didn't play any minutes because of his injury.
You know what really pissed me off last night? Every broadcaster in Ontario anyway, dismissed the Raptors versus Suns almost completely. They showed one highlight of a dunk on Sports Center and that was IT. They put most of their focus on the no hitter good ol' Doc made the other day, MLB post-season and the Randy Moss trade. Like seriously? The managers of all the post-season MLB teams got more air-time than anyone else.
Sure, its only preseason, but the fact is Stern even said they left Vancouver prematurely and the place was sold out to see Nash play against Toronto. The score was ridiculous and there were tons of highlights in the game. ._.
I'm used to it already. Basketball has always played second fiddle to the Leafs I don't expect that to change. The thing is they show one highlight and that is it on the top ten plays of the day. Are you serious? They didn't even do a 30 second snip bit of the game when it was a fairly lopsided affair with a lot of entertaining plays. I don't know about you, but yes its a preseason tune-up. Here's the catch, no one expected the Raptors to even be able to compete but here they are winning a 129-73 game (yes preseason once again) with players firing on all cylinders. If you are a broadcaster perhaps you should highlight the fact, "Hey Toronto, perhaps things won't be so bad after all." There is plenty of story there and considering almost every sports channel didn't show anything from it is mind-boggling.

it's not mind-boggling. people didn't care about the raptors WITH bosh
Maybe they should move the nets to BC. So much for their 'rebuilding', and after the abyssal last season I dont think anyone is going to be going this year ...
Iggy is exciting for his one breakaway dunk and his D when he's inspired everything else he does is kinda meh ridiculous athlete, can't quite put it all together
Well he's the only person on the team he can only do so much. When you're putting up good rebounding/assist/steal/blocks at your position as he is he's still a stud. Only thing he can't do is score efficiently but he's a clear perfect number 2 guy.
