We Have (Another) Blowout: 130-101 Pacers

Remember last week when the Craptors won six games in a row, and there was talk about the playoffa? Well tonight the Craps reminded us why we went on a non-violent blogging strike. The only thing more embarassing than the Raptor defense tonight was giving up a double double to JOSH MCROBERTS!?!?!?! Captain Suck recorded career highs in points (12) and rebounds (11), outscoring Shawn Marion and Jose Calderon's combined point total. Did I mention that Josh McRoberts is a 2 ppg and 2 rpg player? Could have been Raptor Danny Granger Joey 2.0 put up 29 points tonight.
NBA.com Recap

Player of the game:
Gotta give it up for Patrick O'Bryant tonight (yes, seriously). As opposed to last nights game where he looked tired, disoriented, and Michael Bradley-esque, POB pulled it together tonight, starting in place of Andrea Bargnani. POB finished going 8-11 from the field, good for 16 points, grabbed 7 boards, and used every one of his fouls. The kicker: Patty led the Craps tonight with a stunning +3 performance.

Notables:
Chris Bosh - 'Nother day at the office for CB, 21 and 9. His infatuation with the three ball continues however, he has now attempted 7 threes in his past 10 games, he's 0-7 beeteedubz.
Joey Graham - 14 points, 4 boards, 8-9 from free throw. Joey showed up his twin brother good. Steven only had 8 points and 3 boards.

Full box score

Stat of the game:
The Craptor defense was just comical tonight. The Pacers had their highest point total and margin of victory of the season (Toronto makes the record books again!). They also shot 62 percent from the field in the first half, and 72 percent in the second quarter. At half, the score was an astounding 74-48, the Pacers highest scoring half of the season. The Pacers scored their 100th point with 3:33 left in the third quarter and led 115-74 at the end of the period. The Pacers shot 68 percent in the third quarter. I would attach a lesson for the Craps, but who has the energy anymore?
