The best audio-visual rendition available on-line …
Rousing stuff, to be sure!
———————————
PS. Hopefully the Dinos will be able to defend their home-court tomorrow afternoon against the “invading force” from Orlando better than they were able to battle on the road last night in a disappointing loss vs Memphis.
PPS. Everyone be safe and enjoy your All Hallows Eve.
There are many different ways to track the performance of an individual player, or specific combinations of players, in a NBA game.
When you do this work, what you find, somteimes, can be most revealing.
This is what the “Substitution Chart” looks like for Wednesday’s game between Toronto and Cleveland.

——————————————–
It contains a fair amount of useful information, if you take the time to examine it in detail.
For example:
|
Bosh/Bargnani vs PF/C Combos for Cleveland |
|
|
Varejoa/O’Neal = +9 [7:35] |
Hickson/Varejoa = 0 [0:23] James/Ilgauskas = -1 [0:29] James/O’Neal = -4 [6:00] |
|
+25 [14:44] |
-11 [8:58] |
——————————————–
There were, at least, 2 items from Wednesday’s victory that should be of some concern to the Raptors, heading towards this evening’s Game 2, vs Memphis:
1. The way that Bosh/Bargnani performed against the Cavs’ combinations of PF/C’s not named O’Neal/Ilgauskas or Varejao/O’Neal;
and,
2. The 39:44 played by Chris Bosh … in a game where the Raptors had a 21 point lead just prior to half-time … with a brace on his right knee for precautionary reasons.
Something to keep your eyes on as Toronto makes its way through the first 20 games of its regular season schedule.
Cleveland 91
TORONTO 101
Game Scoreboard
Keys to Victory for the Raptors
1st QUARTER
* Got off to a quick start on the strength of the individual match-up advantage held by Andrea Bargnani [13 pts, superior quickness] over Shaquille O’Neal [6 pts]; TOR 27, Cle 22
2nd QUARTER
* Built a 21 point lead [00:32.9, 57-36], shooting 10-17 [58.8/FG%] while limiting their opponent to 6-22 [27.2/FG%]; TOR 57, Cle 39
3rd QUARTER
* After Cleveland completely erased the deficit by the 2:22 mark [69-69], closed the period with a 7-0 run of their own, keyed by an offensive rebound putback from Chris Bosh [2:04, 71-69]; TOR 78, Cle 71]
4th QUARTER
* Took advantage of a questionable coaching decision by Mike Brown, who inexplicably elected to open the frame by going “Big” [i.e. O'Neal and Ilgauskas vs Bargnani and Bosh], which resulted in a 9-3 run by the Raptors to start the the quarter [10:15, 87-74]
* Hung on gamely down the stretch, despite Cleveland cutting the margin to just 6 points [1:37]

——————–
The Cavaliers will need to find a way to neutralize the Raptors superior quickness at the PF and Center positions. If not, Toronto will present a match-up problem for Cleveland each time they meet this season. Going “Big” is not an option for the Cavs this season, with their present roster, unless Mike Brown wants to find himself in the unemployment line lickady-split.
Despite the uneven nature of their play, Toronto has to be ecstatic with this W. The first 20 games on their schedule is filled with quality opponents. To be able to withstand a 3rd quarter push from a team like Cleveland is a positive sign that the Raptors just might be able to navigate this stretch of games in a way that will allow them to remain in contention for a playoff spot throughout the season.
