Gameday: Raptors vs Mavericks – Jan. 17/09

Jan 17, 2010 – 10:18 am

The one thing I was thinking about while watching the Knicks game was that the Raptors need to focus and execute for a full 48 minutes against the Mavs to have a chance at taking the game. While the Knicks were mounting their comeback, thoughts of Nowitzki nailing shot after shot were dancing through my [...]

Thoughts on the Marcus Banks Rumour

Aug 20, 2009 – 9:51 am

Life after the NBA for Banks??
Seems like Colangelo wasn’t ready for his summer vacation. Word on the street is that the Raptors and Mavericks are in talks to swap Marcus Banks for Matt Carroll. Yes, a post dedicated to two over-paid players, one of who’s only NBA skill is salary filler to satisfy CBA salary [...]

A Lot of Action

Jul 9, 2009 – 8:30 am

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 [...]

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 [...]

Marion, Lee, Turkoglu, Ariza and Ron-Ron

Jul 3, 2009 – 7:51 am

How many takers does Marion really have?
Slow and steady doesn’t win the race, but at least it gives you time NOT to f*ck up. Two days into the second most important free agency period this team has ever gone through (the most important being the summer we re-upped AD, JYD and Boogie), and I’m glad [...]

Free Agency, Day 1: The Ball Is In YOUR Court…

Jul 1, 2009 – 10:11 am

We weren’t expecting Evans, who else is on tap?
No rumours or chatter about anything other then Marion, so I turn to you, what do you think will happen, and (just for fun) what would YOU do if you were Bryan Colangelo?

Morning Coffee – July 1

Jul 1, 2009 – 8:46 am

Globe and Mail
The Raptors are no different. Their plan has been to re-sign Marion, and likely offer a deal starting about $7-million a season. That’s an $11-million pay cut, but it will likely be the best offer the 31-year-old small forward sees, according to league sources, who suggest that Marion’s image as a high-maintenance [...]

I Expect More Of The Same From B.C.

Jun 29, 2009 – 1:51 am

DeRozan can’t be the last “new” Raptor this year.
Before getting into it, I want to welcome DeMar DeRozan into the mix. I am a big fan of the kid. He instantly becomes a big part of the future. Although he is young and raw, he satisfies the starting SG role. In fact, without having played [...]
