... would be pulling these stats out left, right and centre. Toronto might have to stave off elimination in Game 5 without the energy of Jamario Moon, who suffered a groin strain in the second half of Saturday’s loss. But then again, who needs Jamario Moon? He only started 75 games for the team during the regular season and led small forwards in the NBA in rebounding. Don’t worry about it, the coach didn’t think he should start the playoffs anyway.

A few months ago, before the Raptors were to play the Lakers, he addressed the team by telling them, 'We'll worry about the guy who got 81 in a second, but first I want to talk about Andrew Bynum and how he killed us last time.'

First, read Peter Vecsey's anecdote about Sam Mitchell not knowing Andrew Bynum was hurt in his April 27 column .
