Back to Reality, Oops There Goes Gravity

Apr 6, 2009 – 2:24 am

The little fella’s a handful.
Knicks 112, Raptors 103
It’s hard to say much about a game where the base requirement of any competitive arrangement isn’t there – effort. The Raptors figured the ‘away’ part of the home-and-home set is supposed to be the tougher game and since they won that, the return matchup is theirs [...]

Best player on the court: Bargnani

Apr 5, 2009 – 2:16 am

Raptors 102, Knicks 95
The silver lining to this disappointing season continues to be Andrea Bargnani. He was the best player on the court on Saturday and drew enough of those oohs and aahs from the crowd that showed both a respect for his game and the underlying fear of his abilities. He was [...]

Raptors are gamers, Knicks are tankers

Apr 4, 2009 – 7:13 am

Raps exact revenge

Feb 22, 2009 – 7:25 pm

And that’s how a playa rebounds.
Knicks 100, Raptors 111
Pinch-hitting for Dinosty. Didn’t know I was going to be doing this post so bear with me as I wasn’t paying an awful lot of attention during this one.
Consider the revenge for Friday night exacted. It wasn’t by the same margin or the same degree [...]

GTFO!

Feb 21, 2009 – 2:33 am

Raptors 34, Knicks 84678
This was the most humiliating defeat of all time. Yes, all time. Just look at the circumstances under which the Knicks ran us off the court: We pulled off a big trade and are in a backs-to-the-wall situation where we need to claw out wins almost every night to make [...]

Watching casually as the Raptors beat the Knicks

Oct 9, 2008 – 12:21 am

New York Knicks 111, Toronto Raptors 113
It’s very hard to judge a preseason game because you don’t know whether to attribute mistakes to rust or inability. How seriously does one look at missed defensive assignments, box-out problems and general chaos on the defensive end? Is it just a bunch players trying to get [...]

Screw it, I’m following the Knicks

Sep 29, 2008 – 12:25 am

I’ve decided to give up on the Raptors and follow the Knicks as my “favorite team”. This decision came last night after a lengthy and through-provoking discussion with my shrink who advised me to look out for my long-term happiness rather than get mired in the insecurities of the tumultuous near future. He [...]

Atlantic Division predictions

Sep 14, 2008 – 10:56 pm

Why not? There’s nothing going on anywhere so it’s time I write the ultimate filler post. Without further ado:
Boston: The Celtics trinity are a year older but they’re still only 31, 32 and 33, one could even argue that they’re in their prime. They lost James Posey who was instrumental in their title [...]
