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 [...]

The #50kFail

Jul 15, 2009 – 7:17 am

How about we get to 50k with a bit of class?
UPDATE: If you aren’t on Twitter, this may not make any sense to you (also, if you are, you may not care)
It started out as a self-righteous duel to 50,000 followers between two of the NBA’s most prolific young-guns/Tweeters. Looking from the outside in, it [...]

Just when you thought we’d turned the corner….

Charlie V needs no motivation against the Raps
Bucks 96, Raptors 85
Somebody come over here and slap me silly for thinking that the “red hot” Raptors would cruise at home against the Redd-less Bucks. A three game winning streak against Chicago, Sacramento and New Jersey wasn’t exactly highly impressive but it did signify one of [...]

Raptors Look to Make it Four in a Row Against the Redd-less Bucks

Jan 30, 2009 – 9:12 am

Iz miiiine
With the next four games (after tonight’s) against the elite of the league, the time is now for the Raptors to win their 4th game in a row for the first time this season. The Bucks are clinging onto the 8th spot for dear life now that Redd is lost for the season with [...]
