Rap of the Day
I can easily see myself being the type of person who is drawn to watching over the carnage of a traffic accident, but even worse, while watching the Raps against GSW tonight, I found that I was rooting for the accident. I read somewhere that they have now lost 12 third quarters in a row now, and I was rooting for it. I don't dislike Triano, but I enjoyed the look of panic in his eyes during the third quarter. I like Bosh, but I enjoyed looking forward to his next turnover. I found it comical that Jose gave his best performance of the season on a game where he couldn't possibly make a difference. And the son of the all-time nicest Raptor twisted the dagger, making it all so poetic. I'm going slightly mad, but I'm enjoying it.
Gameday: Raptors vs Trailblazers – Mar 14/10
Last night was nothing short of a disgrace. We let a team playing an 8-man rotation with 4 D-Leaguers run us off the court. The causes of the symptoms that keep manifesting themselves range from lack of effort, incorrect use of personnel, lack of leadership and...the list goes on.
Raptors Get Dubbed by the Warriors 124-112
No effort, no result for the Raptors in the Golden State; falling to the Warriors 124-112.
Gameday: Raptors vs Warriors – Mar 13/10
On paper we win this, but on paper we should've also won against Philadelphia and Sacramento. It's a matchup of the third and fourth highest scoring teams, and the worst and third-worst defensive teams. The Warriors have 17 wins on the season and have lost six straight by an average of 10.2 points.
Too Many Cooks, Part 2 – And “Who Should Start/Finish”?
I would like to beat a dead horse - bare with me. Let me briefly revisit the Jack-Calderon-Turkoglu end-of-game combination, the final straw for me likely occurred a while back, but the "final final" straw occurred Tuesday night against the Lakers.

The Assassin Returns… Bloated and Unable to Inflict Pain 84 Raps By Zach Harper 
I recognize that he’s coming back from an injury and that could be a reason he didn’t move well, but this is something you could see developing over the past year. In Orlando, he had three shooters and an athletic god playing around him so it was hard to truly notice his increasing decline. But in Toronto’s system that doesn’t necessarily maximize his remaining abilities, he sticks out like a sore thumb.

Re-signing Chris Bosh is not enough 182 Raps By Arsenalist 
What would it be like? Would it be as dark as some make it out to be? Would the Raptors be reduced to the NBA equivalent of a wasteland, or would it just be a bump in the road towards what seems to be the eternal destiny of this franchise – mediocrity? Stepping out of the vacuum of this season and looking at the bigger picture of what’s been accomplished in the six seasons he’s been here, anyone trying to make a case that it would be a death-blow to this franchise will be hard-pressed to do so.

Predictable 3rd Quarter Collapse in Sactown 64 Raps By Arsenalist 
Were you content after the Laker loss and thought that since we hung around the champs for four quarters, the next night in Sacramento would be rather easy? I mean, linear thinking dictates that if you almost beat a really, really good team, you should be able to pummel a really bad team, no? NO!

Triano shuts down Jack – again 125 Raps By Arsenalist 
Make no mistake, Jay Triano did all he can to help us lose this game. He subbed out an on-fire Jarrett Jack with 1:15 left in the third and brought him back with 5:52 left in the game, by this time the Raptors’ five point lead had vanished.

Out-worked by a team out of the playoffs 63 Raps By Arsenalist 
We had everything to play for but got outworked by a team that had nothing to play for. That is very difficult to both understand and stomach given we’re in the thick of a playoff race and just had the Bucks leapfrog us for 5th place.

Thank you John Hammond 26 Raps By A-Dub 
Thank you for relinquishing two players with oodles of potential without practising some due diligence. Thanks for not exercising some caution when dealing with a GM who has hoodwinked so many in the past. Thanks for helping to inject some much needed youth, athleticism, and hustle into this lineup. Even if these two players ultimately don’t pan out, at the very least, thanks for helping us win tonight’s game. You had everything to with what transpired tonight.

Here’s a defensive possession from the first half where it’s evident what the Lakers are about to do, but only one Raptor anticipates the action while the one that was supposed to see it coming, didn’t move an inch.

Breaking It Down: Creating Fastbreaks 13 Raps By Arsenalist 
One of the things that stood out against Philadelphia were the Raptors’ 26 fastbreak points. Many of the points were the result of a convenient rebound combined with an aggressive mentality to run. We examine two such instances.
