And, that’s a Rap [of the Day], my friend! : )

When you watch a scary movie … with the sound off … what happens?

I suggest you try it sometime for yourself, then you’ll have a better understanding of what you should really be afraid of in Life … and the many details you might otherwise miss [outside of the soundtrack] along the way.

What you think is ‘absurd’ [or not] about something in Life [or in hoops] is directly correlated to the extent of your knowledge about that very thing/subject.

Nuff said.

* tinman … if you’re going to make reference to what I said then the onus shifts to you to get ’straight’ what I said, in the first place, which you have consistently failed to do, re: that list of games and the ‘possible’ outcomes you keep referring to. Do you think those are the actual ‘outcomes’ I predicted for those match-ups? If you do, then try thinking again. I do not ‘predict’ the outcome of individual games weeks/months in advance. That’s not what I do. Seems to me as though, you don’t have the first clue about what it is that I do. An individual game prediction, per se, looks like this: “The Raptors will win tonight’s match-up vs New Jersey.” Get it?

Now … try looking a second time at what I actual wrote before; not what you said I wrote but what I actually wrote.

Key early season games for the Raptors

Hopefully, you should be able to c the difference for yourself … if not, then, unfortunately, I can’t seem to help you understand it any further.

C’est la vie.

* Johnn19 … thanks.

* Raptoronto …

re: Khan, based on your analysis, of your own tracked stats, you obviously only track what YOU feel will back theories/opinions that you have already established and ignore the staggering amount of info that states otherwise to protect your self-proclaimed credibility. You’ve essentially made yourself irrelevant in these discussions by taking that approach. by Raptoronto

Do not make the mistake of thinking that I care what you might think of my credibility. : )

Think instead that what you think of my irrelevance in these discussions is of little consequence and, indeed, relevance to me.

If you’d like to know what it is that I track when I watch a basketball game then you’ll need to ask that question for yourself … rather than simply trying to discard that which you might know little-to-nothing about. The choice is yours. Know, however, that it matters not to me which way you decide to go.

Ask and you shall receive. Don’t ask … then, don’t ask.

To this point … what ‘analyses’ or ‘tracked stats’ or ’staggering amount of info that states otherwise’ have YOU [or anyone else] presented to oppose the ‘theories/opinions’ which I’ve stated here?

When you present those here [or someplace else], please do let me know. I will be most interested in seeing what those look like.

What you think is obvious might not be the case, at all. : )

So maybe that’s a 6.

I’m a well-wisher, as in I don’t wish you any specific harm.

1 – being I’m completely over it. He’s a gentleman and a scholar.

10 – being he’s only one career ending injury away from satisfaction/redemption.

I think I’m a 2 or 3 on that scale. I don’t hate him but I really don’t want to see him have much success either and certainly not against the Raps (obviously).

But just to make one thing clear, I meant Parker as in Tony Parker, not Anthony Parker. Yeah, AP is probably one of the worst starting SG in the league. Although he does hit open shats which, according to Smitch, is all it takes to win games.

….It’s “lose” not “loose”

mark, I dug Keon too. So much potential, never figured out why we just let him walk instead of sending him to a rehab facility. Man never got a right coach to guide him through the life.

Jord, Calderon is good, he’s not CP3 and will never be the star of a team. That’s something we knew before giving him the contract and I’m fine with it. We do however need a “change of pace” backup PG that can throw the defense a twist, you know, kinda like TJ Ford, only not TJ Ford. khandor is correct in his assessment of Caldeorn, he won’t lose you the game but can’t be relied to carry your team through. Then again, nobody though Steve Nash could do that until not too long ago…so yaaa…

BTW, LOL at khandor watching the games on mute with a notepad, only a die-hard Raptors fan would do this. I love it.

71 games to go.

A good friend of mine is going and she’s bringing her sister! I’m pissed.
