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).
What is this strange feeling? excitement and not angst at the end of a raptors game?? oh dear friend, I've missed you so... 38-0 to end the season!!! who's with me!?!?

Nice to see the Raptors win, even if the Bulls pretty much handed it to them. (20+ turnovers is Raptorsesque without a healthy Jose!)
Any thoughts/feelings about O'neal's performance? He took some physical blows but seemed unphased by it. Are things looking uncomfortable within the Raps lockeroom concerning him and all the trade rumours amidst?
Blogger's note: Seemed just like he was before he got hurt

Jose helped, but the whole team played intense, hard-nosed basketball. Now that they have the obligatory good game out of their systems, it will be interesting to see if they keep playing hard or revert to being themselves.

Jose's return allows tighter rotation. Lack of consistency, even more than athleticism, has plagued this team's wing play. Graham, Moon and Kapono all played well against the Bulls. If they don't, sit em. Keep the rotation tight.
Also, with Parker as the second-unit pg, why not occasionally bring Will in as SG? There are matchups where Parker can guard the most potent pg-sg and Will can defend the other. Solomon is a decent enough player, just not a real good pg. Again, Toronto fans get down on a player and they get stupidly unreasonable on occasion. This isn't a deep enough roster to throw functioning parts in the trash can.
