Episode 44 - Nene's Soccer Pitch

Toronto Raptors are down 1 game to the Orlando Magic

At the request of you, the fan, we have added a video of this episode of Talking Ball. If this experiment works, then we'll attempt to record and post more video. Maybe Scooper will turn his camera on and record as well.

Week in Review

- Raptors lose Game 1 of their seven game series against the Magic. The first quarter is killer for the Magic, who couldn't miss a shot. 43 points were scored by Orlando and the Raptors played catch up the rest of the night

Other Play-off Match-Ups

- LA Lakers are too much for the Denver Nuggets, Pau Gasol and Kobe are quite the 2some.
- New Orleans starts slow (Dallas Mavs may have just run out of gas), but has a great 2nd half, lead by Chris Paul
- San Antonio Spurs need 2 overtimes to beat the Phoenix Suns - Tim Duncan has 40 points, including a 3 in the first overtime - to send it to a second overtime
- Utah Jazz (Scooper's dark horse) have a few good men for Yao-less Houston Rockets - Deron Williams runs the pick'n roll quite well with Carlos Boozer

- Boston Celtics against the Atlanta Hawks, looked like a kitten with a ball of string
- Detroit Pistons need to turn it back on, as they lose the first game to the Philadelphia 76ers
- Orlando Magic looked to show everyone why they are the 3rd seed, as the Toronto Raptors claimed (and so did we) that this was the match-up they wanted
- Cleveland Cavs take first 2 games against the Washington Wizards, as the Wiz struggle to find a way to get Gilbert Arenas back into their offense


Coming up for the Raptors

- Tuesday in Orlando for Game 2 of their series
- Thursday back in Toronto for Game 3
- Saturday in Toronto for Game 4 (we'll be at this game)

2 games over 500?

We received this email today....

If the Raptors are 38-36, they are not 2 games over .500 as your and your cohorts postulate on the latest podcast. Anyone with even the most rudimentary math skills would know that 38 wins and 36 losses total to 74 games played, of which a .500 record would be 37 wins, making the Raps exactly 1 game over .500.

If, in the future, you find yourselves needing some math help (lets say, counting your change at Tim Horton's), let me know. My 5 year old will be glad to offer you some support.

Love the show!
