SUCKA FREE 15: Who didn’t suck in the NBA last week

Be it deadbeat daddy talk or some “CB, you ain’t no franchise player” talk, something has just clicked with Bosh and the Raps.  Maybe he’s fitting in with his new friends in Shawn Marion and Pops Mensah-Bonsu but the Raptors are playing well.  Chris Bosh has four straight double digit rebounding games in their four game winning streak.  (I’m watching the Magic-Raps as I write this)

 

Aldridge had 24 and 12 against the Sixers, and then had 29 and 12 against the Suns.  Aldridge has helped the Blazers in their 20 point wins against the Suns and Grizz last week.

 

The Nuggets have been hot, a large part due to the play of ‘Melo.  Last week, Melo dropped 43 and 11 on the Mavs in their 103-101 win.  The Nuggs have made that push to that #2 spot in the West, and have been 9-1 in their last 10?  Ridiculous. 

D12 had a 20/20 game against the Celtics last week, 24 pts, 21 rebounds in a 2 point win over the C’s.  The Magic moved up to that #2 spot in the East, and won their 6th game in a row last week.

 

Last week:  Won 4 in a row (watching the Raps/Magic as I write this)
Sure the Cavs are hot, the Nuggets are off the heezy, the Magic are off the rocker but the Raptors have a winning streak?  Man, things have clicked for the Raps.  Bosh/Bargnani have stepped it up to another level, Marion is coming around, Jose is healthy and Pops, Pops, Pops, he’s been what the Raps have been missing from the Raps bench this year.  The Raps have been rebounding better and have been beating teams by 16+ ppg during that streak.
