Podcast, Pacers, rebounding, and that guy TJ

Jan 11, 2010 – 11:30 am

I’ve lost track of how many times the C**tics have pissed in my cornflakes. They stabbed us a long time ago and now they just twist the knife every time we play them. The part that both hurts and soothes me is the knowledge that they are clearly and without doubt the far [...]

Gameday: Raptors vs Celtics – Jan. 10/10

Jan 10, 2010 – 8:51 am

Beating Competing against Playing the Celtics has become a mental exercise for the Raptors. The proof was in the pudding when they were humiliated last week by a shell of a team. We excused the game simply by saying that the Raptors can’t win them all, and that even without Garnett/Pierce/Rondo, the Celtics are a good team [...]

Piss Poor Effort

Jan 3, 2010 – 10:12 am

Raptors 96, Celtics 103 – Boxscore
No Pierce/Garnett/Rondo, no problem…for the Celtics that is. What a waste of a Saturday night, and so much for that winning streak. I really thought the Raptors wouldn’t have much of a problem last night with the caveat that they come out focused and determined. I had a bad feeling [...]

Gameday: Raptors vs C**tics – Nov. 27/09

Nov 27, 2009 – 7:47 am

I have a feeling Amir will come to Jose’s aid if KG starts yapping again.
On a scale of one to Chris Brown, how upset/mad/depressed/pissed-off/violent were you feeling after the Charlotte game? Terrible. Just terrible. There was one positive that came out of it though: timing. We got that game out of our system before we [...]

Podcast: Weekly Review/Preview

Nov 23, 2009 – 1:00 pm

Not a good week for the club, we got clobbered in Denver and then put up little resistance against the Jazz with the defense going from bad to worse. We gave up 108.25 points per game and our league-worst defensive rating went further down a couple notches to 116.4. Thankfully Miami came to [...]

Toronto Star – Raptors’ Jay Triano sees good in the bad
It may seem entirely counter-intuitive to imagine Jay Triano would be pleased with what’s transpired with the Raptors of late but coaches are an odd lot and sometimes they don’t really think like regular folk. So in the wake of a 101-82 pasting at [...]

It’s only pre-season I tell myself

Oct 18, 2009 – 11:54 pm

Turkoglu’s play was one of the few bright spots on a very dismal afternoon.
C**tics 101, Raptors 82 – Box
C’mon man, try to stay positive, it’s only pre-season. That’s what I was telling myself after the game, to not lose faith so early and give Triano a chance, a chance at a full training camp [...]

We need to beat Boston

Sep 9, 2009 – 12:58 am

There are games that matter less and games that matter more. A Wednesday night thrashing of the Grizzlies at home doesn’t get anyone too excited, a win in Boston does. Hell, a win anywhere against Boston does it for me. In the last two seasons we’re 1-7 against them and frankly, it’s [...]
