The first of a mini-series examining the Raptor players, and how they stack up in regards to a particular facet of the game. In this case: Defense.
The Starters
Calderon
You do a lot of running around, your arms are active, you’re always yelling, but not a whole lot of defense is going on. Amazing really. Yes you [...]

This interview is a week or so old, but Raúl Ruscitti did us a great favour in translating this interview…
In an interview with a basketball radio show in Argentina, Carlos Delfino talked about the possibility of returning to the NBA, his right shoulder injury that limited his participation last season, and his decision of leaving [...]

He didn’t get the trophy for yesterdays coup d’etat, but he deserves it in my book.
Let it not be said that BryCo doesn’t do work. In what is the craziest trade this franchise ever made, B.C. Colangelo turned Marion, Humphries and Uni-brow (Douby) into Hedo (don’t call me Hedu) Turkoglu, Devean George, Antoine Wright while [...]

Reports claim he has been living on Red Bull and Twinkies the last couple days/nights.
The shot-clock is expiring, and Colangelo has put in more work over the last few days then he has all season, I can feel it. His Teflon is wearing thin with whispers that his job could be on the line. Needless [...]

Bullets Forever
Tier 1: Chris Bosh (16 million through 2010)
Notes: Toronto is Chris Bosh and a bunch of guys I don’t want. Bosh has the highest value of anyone on this list. He’s the only guy I’d trade McGee for and the only guy I’d consider giving up one of the Big 3 for.
Potential [...]
The “I told you so” edition
Adams – possessed the characteristics you look for as a general manager of an NBA franchise: a fire hydrant with a headband. Hassan brought as much value to our team as would rap lessons from 50 Cent given to Jake Voskuhl.
Banks – at least Hassan isn’t costing us as [...]

The “don’t shed a tear” edition
Banks – call the toe truck.
Bargnani – meh, no reason to play since you have 4-5 months off. Why stress yourself?
Bosh – started off hot, then went as cold as Joan Rivers’ vajayjay. Then the light went off and he put his middle finger up for all his misguided haters [...]

The “payback’s a bitch” edition
Banks – dead weight.
Bargnani – faker.
Bosh – absolute bonehead play late fourth in not hustling to the ball and letting Dixon blow by you, steal it, and score what could have been the dagger. To make up for it, he did what franchise players do: win the game. Hit a wide [...]
