The “orange crushed” edition
Banks – here is hoping his injury spurs BC to dump his sorry ass.
Bargnani – anybody else kind of giggle to themselves everytime they see the look of shock on Andrea’s face when he gets called for a foul. That mouthguard makes him look like some “special” kid trying to compute things in his head.
Bosh – another double double before half and a nice halftime on-court interview to once again show that, even in personal dark times, he is indeed the franchise player and the best player this team has on and off the court.
Calderon – nice game that was topped off by that tight shot of him on the bench slapping palms with Kapono as Kap was coming off and making out the touch burned Jose’s hand. He laughed like an exchange student learning an American custom for the first time and even showed Matrix how funny it all was. Cute. First he learned how to make himself look Asian and now this. Next up, fun with hotel bedsheets.
Douby – wow. Do you think those eyebrows gave his birth mother some carpet burns in her vajayjay when he was born? The girls at the Shoppers Drug Mart beauty counter must drool when they see those puppies.
Graham – kid was treating the rim like it was a donut and he was Homer Simpson. Nice aggressive game tonight and the kind we need when we are in games that matter. You know, like next year.
Jawai – if this team was a zoo, he is the armadillo.
Humphries – 
Kapono – would love to ask him what the deal is with him touching his face after every shot he makes. Is he wiping the blood from the busted heart of his opponent? Is it a signal to Doug Christies wife? The public needs to know.
Marion – we need to run a contest to name that god-awful looking shot of his. It reminds me of seeing a farmer playing PopAShot. Could this have been his best game as a Raptor? Looked like it on the offensive end. Amazing what a couple of wins and some team happiness can inject in people.
Mensah-Bonsu – memo to our GM: do not entertain the idea of re-signing this guy. The last few games show you the real Pops. Don’t believe the hype.
O’Bryant – any day now you can expect the thunder of Arsenalist to rain down upon thee for taking jumpshots. You have been warned, Leppy.
Parker – nice all around game tonight. Nothing flashy, just a workman like effort. Kind of envisioned him picking his lunchbucket up after the game and heading home to his crib in Scarborough.
Ukic – solid game with, once again, solid minutes. The jockers will all come out from the forest again and proclaim this guy the leader of the new republic, but look at who he was up against. He showed flashes tonight, but until he can give me 5 good games against great opponents, he doesn’t deserve any passing grade.
Voskuhl – 4 minutes and no fouls? Somewhere an angel has been murdered.
Driving The Bus: Chris Bosh
Under The Bus: Pops Mensah-Bonsu
Game Theme:
27 Raps
At the beginning of the month [approximately at the 60 game mark], the question was asked on RR [I think by Arsenalist], “How many games do you think the Raptors will win the rest of the way?”
At the time, my answer was, “Approximately 10.”
Here’s that list of 22 games:
Date Opponent Result
Mar 1 at Dallas L 98-109
Mar 3 at Houston L 97-107
Mar 6 vs Miami L 102-108
Mar 8 vs Utah L 101-109

Mar 13 vs Detroit L 95-99
Mar 15 vs Indiana W 110-87
Mar 16 at Charlotte L 86-112
Mar 20 vs Charlotte L 89-102
Mar 22 vs LA Clippers W 100-76
Mar 25 vs Milwaukee W 115-106

Apr 4 at New York
Apr 5 vs New York
Apr 7 vs Atlanta
Apr 8 at Indiana
Apr 10 vs Washington
Apr 12 vs Philadelphia
Apr 13 at Washington

It will be interesting to see if they can get those 6 remaining W’s along the way. : )
u can cross orlando and atlanta off the ‘win’ list, that leaves 9 games, of those, i can only see 4 wins: chicago, new york, washington x 2
thank you lord khandor for englightening us!…lord khandor is a prophet!……faaaaaakaaaaf u faggot.
Rap of the day?
No we can all die in peace thanks Khandor…..
*****now****
LOL
Thanks Khandor! Now I have a reason to cheer them on to victory!
stop kissing bosh’s ass
is winning at this point a good or a bad thing?
“Bosh – another double double before half and a nice halftime on-court interview to once again show that, even in personal dark times, he is indeed the franchise player and the best player this team has on and off the court.”
Yea, wow, the franchise player….of a team that is second worst in the Eastern conference, playing one of the very few teams with a worse record due to extreme youth and inexperience (and Nick Collison still managed to score as many points as Bosh)……and how did that interview make him the best player off the court?? What the fuck does that even mean?? Is that how we judge players in Toronto? Maybe that’s why this team always been so mediocre..
The sign of a “franchise player” is when he gets it done against the best, not the worst….
And talking about Bosh’s interview, do you remember THAT stare down the camera after a win (think it was Memphis…)this winter? That look just said it all for me on the subject…
Yeah. Followed by a 7 game losing streak
Bosh has not beat a single elite team in his entire career post Vince Carter Era. 0 times he wiled his team to a victory in the 4th quarter in overtime. The 47 win season we beat good teams but the L was full of injuries thus doesn’t count.
i love u nunya.
ditto
Wow they got out to any early lead against a team that is what, 2 years away from maybe being genuinely good. 4 quarters in a close game where they don’t fold – that’s what fans disgusted with this season need to see. Then we can get all dewy-eyed with hope
“4 quarters in a close game where they don’t fold” – believe me, we could use that down here in Thunder Alley, where we’ve dropped some heartbreakers in the last few seconds, although we are, indeed, probably two years away from being genuinely good.
For my part, I thought the Raptors executed a heck of a lot better than we did.
Everyone has to ground themselves and start making realistic expectations for Bosh. 21pts 13reb (4 o-reb) 6 assists 3 blocks 1 steal and 1 turnover in 33 mins. The guy sucks – definately not worth the max. I’d be happy to trade him for Mike miller and a 1st rounder. He’s a top 10 player sure but not a true leader so he’s useless. I dont like players with long hair. He’s a deadbeat dad. He’s like T-mac – never advance in the playoffs. No mean streak. Blah Blah bitch bitch. I vote to keep him until we find someone better. Like Kevin Love. He’s a real man.
Dude, if your best player isn’t LeBron James, he sucks and you should trade him. The Raptors suck, therefore Bosh is a shitty player. QE muthafuckin’ D
Against Oklahoma?
LOL
When he puts those numbers against the Celtics or Cavs, in the playoffs, on the road, in game 7 then we can talk
what do you mean by “eyebrows”? Douby only has one….of the caterpillar variety.
LOL
Khandor you have the social skills of a plastic plant. I wonder what your like in person. You make people hate you without even trying.
just ignore the troll
Lets give Bosh 133 million. Accomplishments to date.
- 5 losing seasons since he was drafted. Our lone winning season was due to the League being depleted of talent due to injuries.
- 0 wins against the best teams in the League.
- 0 times he won us a game in the 4th quarter or willed his team to a win with his effort.
- 0 times he has called a player only meeting. Seems to enjoy losing.
- Only 5 40 point games in his career. LOL
- How many times have we beat Boston, LA, Utah, Phoenix, Cleveland, Detroit in the last 2 seasons. 0
- Excells playing the bottom feeders n the L and puts up career games. ( Memphis, Sacreemnto, Oklahoma, Minnosota)
Now Luis Scola is making 3 million this season and is a better all around player then Bosh. Paul Millsap at 700k is better then Bosh.
whoa whoa whoa, he willed us to 3 playoff wins in 2 playoff series, how dare you besmirch the name of our superstar mvp
The guy is fucking soft. Physically and mentally. Shaq calls him a transexual and rips into him personally and he has no retort. That’s a real shame that he cant even defend himself. A real leader would have fought back, you never roll over and die. This guy does not even defend his teammates when they are attacked by Garnette and Al Horford etc.
These intangables are what defines a true leader. Forget about his game and his numbers that is secondary.
Judging by what I have seen and what I have read I would have to trade him and then move on with my life.
He had a retort. He made a sly poke at the epic shittiness that was Kazaam. You can’t go right at Shaq when he’s got four rings and you’ve got none.
