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 [...]

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 [...]

How The Raptors Stack Up Against The Rest Of The Atlantic

Aug 26, 2009 – 7:59 am

After a pitiful 33-49 season, Colangelo replaced two starters, the first five guys off the bench, and 2 of the last 5 at the end of it. Two make things more interesting, we have a “rookie” head-coach who has to integrate all these parts while trying to get this team into the playoffs, and possibly [...]

Celtics shove it right up Raptors’ arse

Nov 11, 2008 – 12:38 am

Raptors 87, Celtics 94
Well that sucked, eh? I don’t know what’s worse, getting blown out completely or blowing out the other team for the first half and then choking your chicken in the second. The first half was too good to be true, our movement was too perfect, the scoring was too balanced, our [...]

Garnett scores 9 straight on Bosh and Ray Allen drains the game-winner. Fuck.

Nov 4, 2007 – 9:38 pm

Boston Celtics 98, Toronto Raptors 95 (OT)
Sometimes I question why I even keep a blog but losses like these remind me that it’s because frustration and anger needs an outlet and this is it.

Let’s keep everything aside and state that Chris Bosh was dominated by Kevin Garnett to a tune of 9 straight crucial points [...]
