Raptors heartless in Dallas

I do no not know who this Raptors team and I do not like it at all as the Raptors shelled in the first half as they got their lunched handed to them as Dallas had 31 boards and the Raptors had the backwards 31 which is 13 and trailed by 11 61-50 going into halftime. It was the first quarter that put the Raps climbing up the mountain of a deficit of 12 as they trailed 36-24 after a quarter and then they started to make their climb as they won the second quarter 26-25, the third quarter 34-21, and the fourth quarter 30-27 but lost 109-104 where the Mavs kept them at 11 or higher most of the rest of the game. The Raps would get it down to 8 or 9 and then forget a defensive assignment and it would be 11 and then 13 before the Raps would make another run and they only got to a two score game with 81 seconds left at 105-99 so the Raptors were never in the game as Darren Collison would mysteriously sneak behind the Raps D for a slam or someone would have an open three shot and drain or even Andrea Bargnani would forget to block out his defender and the Mavs would get the rebound. Raps did out board the Mavs in the second half 25-16 and made it a lot closer 47-38 Mavs at the end of the game but Andrea Bargnani 25 (points) and 9 (rebounds) night was a complete fraud as the game was a real ball yard game with lots of three attempted as the Raps shot 22 and made 5 while the Mavs attempted 21 and hit 8. The did one thing right and that was getting to the line as they had 31 free throw attempts and hit 27 of them as Andrea went 7 for 7 and DeMar DeRozan went 8 of 19 from the line to help the Raptors with 24 points and 6 boards while getting 7 of the Raptors 21 assists. Jonas Valanciunas had a very short night of 10 minutes because he picked up 5 quick fouls and Amar Johnson had a double-double with 18 points and 11 boards and took full advantage of his 29 minutes on the floor. For the Mavs Vince Carter was the original Vince with the dunks and the threes and ended up with 17 points and it was just like old times for him while Chris Kaman and O.J. Mayo lead them with 22 a piece while Darren Collison put up 15 points as he made 5 field goals and got 5 from the line as the Mavs went 23 for 35 from the line. I really want the 2011-12 Raptors back not this jump happy who cares about the D team Tom Mehegan
