Raptors beat Pistons (again)

Dec 28, 2009 – 10:39 am

Raptors 102, Pistons 95 – Boxscore
The first 4 game winning streak of this season was a hard fought one against the Pistons. All things considered it was a quality win. You can pick at nuances of the game, which I will, but you have to be happy with the result, which I am. It used [...]

Gameday: Raptors vs Pistons – Dec. 27/09

Dec 26, 2009 – 3:39 pm

There is a lot riding on this game. The Raptors are barely in 6th place in the East, they are on a 3 winning streak, and can sweep the season series with the Pistons if they have another solid showing. They were able to solidify the Nets win with follow up victories over the Hornets [...]

Gameday: Raptors vs Pistons – Nov. 23/09

Dec 23, 2009 – 9:39 am

It’s been a minute since the last Raptors game. With five weeks of back-to-backs in a row (2-3 on the 1st night and 1-4 on the second night) and the toughest part of our schedule behind us (the Western road swing and 16 road games overall) the Raptors still have a chance to close the [...]

Raptor Grind One Out Over the Pistons 110-99

Nov 5, 2009 – 8:59 am

Pistons 99, Raptors 110 – Box
With 7 of the next 8 games on the road against the West, it was mucho important the Raptors get this one against the Pistons. A Pistons team that grounded out a huge win the night before against the Magic. A Pistons team who was missing Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun [...]

A Mistake NOT to Start DeRozan

Oct 27, 2009 – 7:25 am

It’s interesting; this team is interesting. We have gone through a few pre-season games, 1 of which was an 8-point loss to a Timberwolves team sans Jefferson and Love; and this team doesn’t look like the finished product that would win 50 games and a make it to the second round of the playoffs. The [...]

50 = Bad

Apr 15, 2009 – 1:42 am

Even a half-french-half-nelson can’t stop CB4.
It’s been a minute, but I’m back. Sadly, not a whole lot changed while I was gone.. The fortunes of this team have remained the same. Regardless of how we got here, the fact of the matter is that this team is worse off right now then when BryCo took [...]
