Good win by the Raptors with solid D and good offense.

About TJ, I hope he gets better and that this isn't a career ending injury. I wish him the best.

co sign. sorry to hear about this guys. hope there is no animosity towards the hawks now.

 

[apocalypz]

^ From most of us, it isnt. We know that it wasnt intentional. Horford was trying to get the block and it was just an accident gone horribly wrong.

 

[atljunkie]

good to know. thanks.

 

[ballinboykz]

I agree Apoc, i just didnt like the Hawks to begin with

Just playin.

No hate towards there whatsoever. I understand where Horford is coming from. We all hate to see something like that, and unfortunately it happened. It was justa play gone bad. No hate from my side.

TJ Update:

Just heard on The Score that as TJ was stretchered out of the building, he had all feeling in all of his extremedies.

Just thought I would update.

EDIT: SMH at TSN. I quote "TJ took a great hit in the Raptors game today, and there was no team support coming from the players because the only person tostep up was Coach Sam Mitchell"
See this is why I have no respect for Canadian Sports channels. They dont know any other sport than hockey. If they knew the rule that if any player steps onthe floor from the bench in any altercation, they are immediately suspended. And if TSN didnt notice all four players on the floor rushed to TJ to check onhim.

Damn TSN commentators can to go hell.

 

[apocalypz]

^ What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I honestly agree that Canadian sports broadcasters (with the exception of a few at theScore), only know Hockey andthat's it. Buncha dumbasses.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Hope TJ is alright.

 

[ballinboykz]

with the exception of a few at theScore


TheScore immediately after the game went to The Spin, which is possibly the worst show in Canada right now. Its just Steve Kouleas going on a rant about thingshe doesnt like about hockey. Idiot.

Sid Sixero and Tim Mecallif (sp) are the only guys who know how to talk basketball, and do a good job at it too.

On TheScore website its listed as a neck injury, where as TSN has it listed as a head injury.

 

[frenchblue23]

Hope TJ recovers. It was disturbing watching the replay again.

WOOWWWWWW.

 

[chris boshs neck]

tsn is right where was teh back up

 

[efil 4 rekal]

I feel like a ****.

I've been wishing for Calderon to start all year, since last year even, but not under this circumstance.
I'll be willing to bet TJ is back playing ball soon though, that's a tough kid.

 

[franchise3]

Hopefully TJ Ford is all right.

I think he'll be ok.

In the meantime though, Calderon is more than capable. This dude is legit. Shoots like 50%+ from the field, all the while dishing out 10 dimes a game.

 

[ballinboykz]

Yeah, Jose will come in and there will be no drop off. But im with Efil 4 Rekal right now. Ive been wanting Jose to be starting all year long, but now thatthis happened I feel bad for wanting that. I know TJ will be alright, but i feel for the guy. He just cant stay healthy for a full year. He was so good incollege, with no serious injury problems there, and then in the NBA he gets injured in his rookie year and is out for nearly 2 years. I feel so bad for TJ. Isincerely hope he has a speedy recovery.

 

[clutchshooter]

Sid Sixero and Tim Mecallif (sp) are the only guys who know how to talk basketball, and do a good job at it too.
Adnan Virk is ok too. Cant forget about Cabbie either, tho he's not quite a sportscaster.

Here's to TJ being alright.

 

[ballinboykz]

Oh yeah, totally forgot about Adnan. And of course, Cabbie

But yeah, all The Score broadcasters are cool except Steve Kouleas. Dude is way too hardcore about his hockey. I wouldnt mind if he got fired

 

[dlo13]

A very good update...

Raptors guard T.J. Ford was released from the hospital and was to return to Toronto on a noon flight.
Ford was held overnight at an Atlanta hospital after crashing to the floor when fouled by the Hawks Al Horford during Tuesday night's game. He has been medically cleared after being carried off on a stretcher.

[atljunkie]

good news!

 

[ballinboykz]

WOW! Great news!

 

[carlos tevez]

The Score is the only sports channel I can stand watching these days, TSN and Sportsnet are pathetic. I agree about Steve Kouleous being a herb, this guyover-analyzes EVERYTHING. Crosby will go two games without scoring a goal and he'll go on for 38 minutes about Crosby being a disappointment

For some reason he has his own radio show on The Score at 6pm weekly. It's just him in a studio by himself ranting about hockey

 

[teddy jam]

i agreee, the score is the best when it comes to basketball coverage and competent analysis out of the 3 heavyweights

 

[ballinboykz]

Im glad im not the only one who hates Kouleous. Dude is, like Carlos said, a herb. Just gross and disgusting. Whenever I turn on the TV and see him on, Iimmediately go to the other tv that has RTV (only one DHT in the house lol). Just disgusting. I hate him with a passion.

TJ

Glad to hear hes ok.

 

[apocalypz]

Good to hear he's alright.

and Boykz, do you mind if I steal that avy?
