There is no one player that can break away with the MVP as Dwight Howard is the fifth player to win the Player of the Month award, as he averaged 24.8 points, 14.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.7 blocks per game as the Magic went 14-3 and are currently on a 10 game winning streak.
Marlon Zinn has won the entire Rookie of the Month titles so far, this time he averaged 17.4 points, 6.3 assists and 3.5 rebounds as he lead the Suns to a 5-12 record in the month of March.
So we have 9 games left in the season and I would love to get to 70 wins.
The first game was a good one, winning 117-103 over the Thunder, as the battle between the two Kevins was outstanding. For the losers Kevin Durant had 34 points, while on our side Kevin King had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Ed Davis had 20 points and 4 blocks off the bench as we had 7 players in double figures. Russell Westbrook was held to only 5 points.
Toronto Raptors 63-11
We had 7 players in double figures last night, but in our 121-102 win over Minnesota we had Kevin King with 31 points and Blake Griffin with 33 points and not much else. I guess when they are scoring like that you just get out of their way. Rajon Rondo handed out 17 helpers. The Timberwolves look good but they still have one or two seasons until they are really good.
Toronto Raptors 64-11
Holding Amar’e Stoudemire to 1/10 shooting and only 9 points and Danilo Gallinari to 0/4 shooting for 0 points (he averages 21.2 on the season) will always get us a win, and we did beating the Knicks 111-90. Kevin King had 29 points and 9 rebounds, while Ed Davis stormed off the bench with 12 points in 14 minutes. Raymond Felton was the best for New York with 17 points and 7 assists.
Toronto Raptors 65-11
Going back to New York we beat them again, this time 120-110 as Kevin King lit up Gallinari again with 43 points. DeMar DeRozan helped out with 24 points and Tim Mozgov had 13 rebounds and 5 blocks. Raymond Felton had 24 points but it was Varlam Bebutov off the bench who kept them in it with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.
Toronto Raptors 66-11
We always seem to lose against the Cavs no matter how bad they are, going down 100-96. Carmelo Anthony had 30 points, Clark Kimm had 10 assists and Chris Norvell had 17 points off the bench while for us it was Blake Griffin with 24 points and 13 rebounds and I’m getting sick of losing to these lowly Cavs.
Toronto Raptors 66-12
Going back to back, this time against Chicago is always hard but we show whose boss with a 120-87 win as Tim Mozgov beats up Yao Ming for 28 points and 12 rebounds. Kevin King helped out with 21 points as Rajon Rondo held Derrick Rose to 6/17 shooting for only 16 points.
Toronto Raptors 67-12
Joe Johnson has 30 points but they have Marvin Williams at C so we beat them up inside to a 99-86 win in Atlanta. Kevin King shot badly for 27 points but Tim Mozgov showed his skills with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
Toronto Raptors 68-12
One game from 70 wins now as we beat up Charlotte 105-98 as Rajon Rondo had 14 assists and Shane Battier scored 12 points in 18 minutes off the bench. Jason Beck is looking great as he had 20 points and 8 rebounds, while 6’8 Thaddeus Young is starting at SG and shoots over DeMar DeRozan for 20 points on 9/10 shooting.
Toronto Raptors 69-12
Our last game of the season is a statement 123-104 win over third place Philadelphia as Blake Griffin has 30 points and Tim Mozgov helps with 20 points and 12 rebounds while Rajon Rondo holds Chris Paul to 6 points and 4 turnovers. Wesley Johnson has 33 points for the losers.
Toronto Raptors 70-12
We go 8-1 in our last 9 games and we get to 70 wins which is great, but the real season starts now.
