The Goods On The Game, Vol 1, No. 2

October 29, 2008

Now, that's disrespect.

They announced all the players from each team and flashed their faces and names on the scoreboard. Seems No. 7 for Toronto is Andrea Bargnane and the new Australian kid is Nathan Jawais.

All in all, not a bad opening, even though the place is about two-thirds full. Guess people are grabbing dinner before they tune into the ball game. They had the Sixers players come down through the stands to the court, which was a nice touch. And none of these usually-disgruntled Sixer fans tripped anyone. Must be early in the season.

Okay, now he's known as Slammin' Sammy Dalembert.

It's O'Neal on Brand and Bosh on Dalembert, which is not surprising at all.

First Raptor play: Post-up for Bosh; second Raptor play: Post-up for O'Neal. Get used to it.

Yes, that's a brace on Bosh's right knee. Yes, it's new. No, we're not sure why he's wearing it tonight.

Seven straight missed Raptor field-goal attempts. Guess that new offence they were hiding is still in some closet.

Okay, gotta run for a bit, this one's a yawner

Sixers 11, Raptors 4 with six minutes left.

Doug Smith's Sports Blog

Doug Smith has been a sportswriter for more than 30 years, a journey that's included seven Olympic Games, numerous and varied championships and more dreary regular season games than he'd care to remember. Here, he'll talk about them all, as well as current events and pop culture. (Just don’t ask him about music nowadays — it's not his cup of tea).
