Jose Calderon is good enough to start for many teams but the Raptors resisted trading him because starting point guard T.J. Ford has been fragile in his career. Calderon has played in 15 games so far this season and he’s averaged 24.6 minutes, 9.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. Look for Calderon to keep the fast paced offense of the Raptors purring when he’s on the court this season.

The Raptors have lost forward Jorge Garbajosa indefinately after an MRI showed something unusual in his left leg which he broke last season. Garbajosa has played in 7 games (0 starts) this season for the Raptors and he has averaged 3.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.

The Raptors only shot 38.5% from the floor and that killed them last night against the Jazz. Anthony Parker led the way for the Raptors with 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Jamario Moon had a solid game with 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Chris Bosh also had a solid effort with 14 points and 7 rebounds. The Raptors are now 4-4 on the season.

The Raptors outshot the Bulls 54.7%-33.3% in this basketball game and that was the main reason for the ease of this victory.

Jamario Moon showed off a little bit with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. The Raptors are now 4-3 on the season.
