Recovering from a very bad case of bronchitis I developed right around Christmas (yeah happy holidays seriously, how I do return this one?), I don't take these latest moves by the Toronto Raptors as flattery but rather something to help re induce those pesky headaches...
With Jermaine O'Neal already out due to a bruised knee the Toronto Raptors have apparently suffered another big blow as Jose Calderon left the game with a strained hamstring with 8:07 left in the second quarter. I'd give you more of a recap but you know I live in Toronto, and therefore don't have TSN2...
But anyways The Canadian Press, among many other sources as well, has already reported this so I take it as quite concerning - generally a player walking off the court doesn't get mentioned until post-game, not IN game unless something is seriously going down! The Raptors have not been having the best of seasons but the talk has always been about what if and when the big three tandem Toronto touts does turn things around this team can still be scary good! But while O'Neal has held his own so far considering the injuries and long breaks he endured before landing in Toronto, Calderon's injury problems were not foreseen and are far more troubling for the team as well considering their lack of depth at the point.
Well anyways, to all interested Jose is hurt - yet I'm feeling better? One of these days we'll get it right, stay tuned for more about the impact that Calderon's absence leaves should he be missing from some time, and just a recap of this unfortunate news...
Raptors' guard Jose Calderon leaves game with hamstring strain (Toronto Star)
Update: Calderon has been listed as day-to-day, and from all reports he may only miss a game or two. However the nagging hamstring injury that has been an issue for Jose pretty much all season thus far has further spurred along that trade talk to bring in a more experienced back-up point guard to Toronto...

I watched it on an illegal P2P feed in Chinese (are you happy Rogers?). It didn't look all that bad. He'll likely be day to day.
Hey, they won...
Yes they did, best defensive outing yet from all appearances! Bargs seemed to have a pretty solid game too!
I've been downloading torrents of old Raps game (that's actually how my friend watched the Raps season last year while teaching in Vietnam), will have to check out that P2P feed though.
