As they say "a win is a win" even if it isn't pretty.

There were some positives to be taken from an otherwise ugly contest. Mo seems to finally be coming back into form, and Jamison with 22/11, things could be worse.

I think this is a game where not having Shaq really hurt them. Some teams you can go small and run up and down the court, but Toronto can run and gun pretty well. Shaq would have had a good night posting them up down low, Toronto doesn't have anyone that could keep him out of the middle. Oh well, made do with what we had available and got the W. Any updates on Shaq?

MRI on Shaq tomorrow, more info to follow.

It doesn't matter if Toronto was playing without Bosh.. You usually see teams step up when their star is missing.. Of course, they couldn't do it for a long period of time, but over the course of a few games it's possible..

Toronto isn't a bad team at all.. They have some talent. Enough talent that if they were to play Boston in the 1st round, Boston could be eliminated early. And I'm not kidding..

This was also the second night of a back-to-back, so all in all, I'm pretty happy.
