Podcast: Weekly Review/Preview

Dec 14, 2009 – 12:37 pm

A quick one today.
Another roller-coaster week, two disappointing losses sandwiched between an expected and an unexpected win. With injuries to Bargnani and Calderon, there was a chance for some reserves to make their mark and Jarrett Jack made the most of the opportunity. Sonny Weems had a nice run against Houston which many [...]

Hawks Pummel The Raptors, Again

Dec 12, 2009 – 11:13 am

Hawks 111, Raptors 89 – Box
On a night where Kobe broke his finger; he manned up, chipped in 20/5/5 and paced the Lakers for their 11th win in a row, the Raptors showed little of anything while being thumped by the Hawks, again. I thought it was Groundhogs day. Except this time, no, it was [...]

DeRozan’s halves, Bargnani’s numbers and Banks

Dec 11, 2009 – 8:20 am

Nine days after everybody wanted to fire the coach and trade every player we get to play the Hawks again. Since then we’ve had a team meeting, won three straight, but ended up losing to the best team we faced during the stretch, the Bucks. What will tonight bring? Some might say that it’ll [...]

Comparing our bench to others

Aug 28, 2009 – 6:18 am

Although there’s ****-all to talk about the show must go on. In the recent Triano interview he said:
All of a sudden we’ve got two teams now, we’ve got a starting group and a bench group, though I don’t know who’s in which one.
Let me help you out, Jay. Here’s your bench:
Jarrett Jack, Marco Belinelli, [...]

How The Raptors Stack Up Against The Rest Of The Atlantic

Aug 26, 2009 – 7:59 am

After a pitiful 33-49 season, Colangelo replaced two starters, the first five guys off the bench, and 2 of the last 5 at the end of it. Two make things more interesting, we have a “rookie” head-coach who has to integrate all these parts while trying to get this team into the playoffs, and possibly [...]

At some point you have to play some defense

Apr 8, 2009 – 4:45 am

Douby and O’Bryant both played. And it wasn’t garbage time.
Hawks 118, Raptors 110
In my efforts to compose poetry yesterday I completely forgot about Hoop Heads North winning the RR March Madness Pool. Here’s his bracket in which he went a whopping 51/63. Congratulations and take a bow, I’ve dispatched my carrier pigeon [...]

Ode to a season

Apr 7, 2009 – 1:51 am

The season ended with fresh new wounds, a Magical defeat, oh so soon
There was work to do, with options here, and options there
With Ford as bait, at a going rate, not too high but not too low
A trade was made, lot went out, one came back
He came at a fee, and had a busted knee
Some [...]

Moon screwed up, but so did Triano

Jan 20, 2009 – 1:43 am

You could even look past that shot if it wasn’t accompanied by the grin.
Raptors 84, Hawks 87
Alright, let’s get the Jamario Moon hate out of the way early. Sure, he was probably dropped on his head when he was young and then run over by an off-road vehicle. Repeatedly. Yup, that’s the only explanation [...]
