Raptors game 1

I just watched my first full Raptors game ever, since moving to the USA. Expectations were raised this year, after winning a division crown, and with the hated Vince Carter coming to town.

It was not a pretty game for the most part. Jason Kidd pretty much controlled a large part of the game leading to most of Richard Jefferson's points in the paint, and I'm not sure what Sam Mitchell's strategy was. The Raptors transition defense seemed brutal during the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Chris Bosh seems to be a good outside shooter, but I didn't see much of a post-up game or much offensive rebounding today. Then again, he didn't see any playing time in the first half...

Well, I hope next game will bring a more inspiring performance.
