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 [...]

Bryan Doing Work

Jul 7, 2009 – 8:15 am

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 [...]

Morning Coffee – May 21

May 21, 2009 – 7:11 am

Toronto Star
"You can’t have too many voices," Triano said yesterday. "We need to challenge each other, yes; but we all have to have the same basic philosophies or it won’t work."
With NBA-wide speculation rampant that Triano will eventually hire former Memphis head coach Marc Iavaroni as his lead assistant, no one connected with the Raptors [...]

Forgive me, but I am fighting a cold, and sorry AltRaps, I had to kick it off from my living room (none of those decorative books lining my walls).

Leo Rautins and Basketball Canada

Jul 25, 2008 – 9:57 am

According to Michael Grange, Leo Rautins could soon be fired as head coach of the Canadian basketball team. His dealings with Dalembert reminded me a little of how Butch Carter caused a fuss when he sued Marcus Camby in the middle of the playoffs that one spring. Sure, Camby played for the other [...]

Philly rip Raps, Leo rips Dally, Croatia rip Canada

Jul 18, 2008 – 1:49 am

The Raptors dropped one to Philly in Vegas. Up by a deuce with 16 seconds left, they let Philly tie it on a layup (think defensive breakdown) and committed an offensive foul to give them the ball back with four seconds left. This of course was enough time for Jamont Gordon to lay [...]

It’s Friday and time for another Raptors weekend

Apr 4, 2008 – 1:11 am

Digesting the Atlanta loss hasn’t been easy. Al Horford’s claims that he nipped the ball on it’s way to Ford is probably the card the NBA’s going to play in denying our appeal. Regardless of whether he nipped it or not, the NBA’s got the reasonable doubt it’s been looking. Plus, we [...]

Clueless 4th quarter stretch kills Raptors in Sacramento

Mar 17, 2008 – 12:57 am

Toronto Raptors 100, Sacramento Kings 106
The first three quarters were marred by stretches of bad defense, spotty offense, turnovers and generally speaking, some low quality basketball on both ends. Both teams were thankful that the other hadn’t blown them out so the fourth quarter began with the Kings nursing a three point lead and [...]
