Anthony Parker finished with 25 points for Toronto and Jose Calderón added 22 points and 10 assists to help the Raptors recover after blowing a six-point lead in the final two minutes of regulation.

But there is a limit, a point at which on-camera antics,off-field controversies and endless public debate clouds the realthing — the sport. In the wake of cricket’s monkey business, and with theAustralian Open tennis about to begin, it is time that oursportsmen and women got back to basics.

Why do we, as anation, find collective pride and joy in the narrative of sport?The answer is not because we enjoy seeing sports stars slagging offat each other, the umpires and anyone who dares criticise them inthe media. The answer is much purer: it is their skill and determination.

Instead of hoping your spouse will get bored with football (American or “soccer”) and shut off the TV, you might consider learning to like the games instead. Thanks to the new sports information system developed by SportVU, sports fans just got a lot more stuff to watch and talk about.
