The Goods On The Game, Vol. 2, No. 6

All that defensive prowess Toronto showed the other night? Not so much tonight. Warriors shot 50 per cent from the field and, not surprisingly it seems, killed the Raptors on the boards -- 23-14 -- in the first half.

-

Of course the Warriors go with what worked for them. They've got Jackson running the point to start the half. DeMarcus Nelson gets the seat on the bench and Rony Turiaf's out there.

-

Here's a season first: A technical foul. On Jermaine O'Neal.

-

Things you won't likely see tonight: An all-Italian meeting of Bargnani and Golden State's Marco Belinelli, who was a DNP-CD in the season's first game and may have a suit on under his warmups for all we know.

-

It should be hard to lose 6-11, 240-pound Andris Biedrins, right? Then how come Bosh just absolutely couldn't find him on a dive through the lane for a layup? I don't know, either.

-

This continues to be an excellent game. I'd love to watch the Warriors all the time.

-

Still no celebs. What a boring crowd in that regard. But there's the usual zaniness from the real fans.

-

Okay, gotta run. I'll be back

Toronto 67, Golden State 65 with 5:20 to go.
