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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

C**tics preview + Triano, Calderon on the offense

Oct 14, 2009 – 12:19 am

I know pre-season’s all about preparation and practice but there’s something different about tonight’s game against Boston. Or at least there should be. They’re playing their Big Three 20-23 minutes a game so far this pre-season which means there’s a good chance we’ll see a competitive first quarter with the “real” lineup for [...]

Training Camp: Day 1

Sep 30, 2009 – 9:14 am

We were finally able to get beyond the madness of Media Day and are ready to get down to business. Day 1 had a couple themes:
Health
Bosh is on the shelf for the next few weeks, which is a big blow to this team. This is Triano’s first training camp, and you know he isn’t happy [...]

Russell Hicks gets the call + PG or SG?

May 8, 2009 – 12:39 am

Russell Hicks = KrisHumphries-0.9-beta.zip
News is thin these days. Once our lottery position is known on May 19th things should pick up as the Raptors and the ever vague Jim Kelly will begin working people out. We have an 81% chance of selecting 9th and a 1.7%, 2.0%, and 2.4% chance of getting the [...]

Raptors vs Bobcats – It’s Time…

Nov 26, 2008 – 7:11 am

It’s time to step up and be men.
It’s time to show some pride.
It’s time for heart and character to shine through.
Dramatic I know, but the chips are down, and these are the moments that separate the men from the boys. When everyone is healthy and the shots are falling, it is easy to win games. [...]
