globesports.com: Raptors ‘two shots from being 3-0′
Point guard T.J. Ford, who was so important in keeping the Raptors in the game in Sunday’s 98-95 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, put it this way yesterday after the Raptors’ practice at the Air Canada Centre: “We’re two shots from being 3-0. It was a tough loss the way it happened, but we still have our confidence. We feel we really should be 3-0, but we’re not.”
The Raptors won their two other games against Atlantic Division teams: the season opener at home against the Philadelphia 76ers and away against the New Jersey Nets on Friday.
The victory over the Nets was significant because it came against the team that eliminated them from the first round of the playoffs last season. And it came in New Jersey, where the Raptors had lost their six previous games.
