Sadness! The Raptors suffered another loss Saturday.
Tonight saw the Toronto Raptors host the Philadelphia 76ers at Air Canada Center. In honor of Remembrance Day falling on tomorrow’s date, the Raps donned camouflage jerseys for Saturday night’s home game. Raptors have been struggling lately, currently sitting at 1-4, and you can add tonights woeful performance to this dismal rank. The game started off relatively close, Bargnani scored 23 points while DeMar DeRozan added 19, but a horrendous second quarter led to a 93-85 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Jose Calderon added 14 points and 11 assists as the Raptors (now 1-5) dropped their third straight. The Raptors led by 10 points midway through first quarter, but the Sixers outscored Toronto 40-11 to finish the first half with a 52-33 advantage. The Air Canada Centre crowd booed at half time. The Raptors shot a woeful 2-for-20 from the floor and scored just seven points in a horrendous second quarter — Toronto’s worst scoring output in a quarter since 2003 — Raptors coach Dwane Casey must definitely be feeling the pressure. Hopefully the Toronto Raptors will pull off a win upcoming Monday night; where Raptors host Utah Jazz at Air Canada Center. I’ll be at the game Monday November 12 to cheer on the Raptors while modeling with a sleek Ford F150 showing off a Ford Fusion Drive Challenge. Find me at the game and say hi!
