You never know which Toronto Raptors team will show up on a given night. There are nights like tonight where despite the injuries to their three best players--Vince Carter, Antonio Davis and Lamond Murray--and despite Tracy McGrady's 38 points they come up with
an unlikely victory against the conference-leading Orlando Magic. Alvin Williams and Jerome Williams scored 32 points and 30 points respectively, both career highs.
Morris Peterson had a good game--23 points and 12 rebounds--and I'm happy for him. But I wish he would settle into scoring 13 to 18 points per game, instead of 20+ one night and five the next. His streakiness really hurts the team--especially when they're as underpowered as they are now.
