Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

Patience, please

While the formatting of the blog is sorted out. Should be A-OK by tonight. Like our beloved Raptors, sometimes it takes a period of adjustment before things run smoothly. So thanks for understanding. I’m going to go fight the fog now.

Being Boshous

When it was announced Chris Bosh would be sitting out the last pre-season game in Europe with a sore left knee, the collective Raptorfan spidey-sense began tingling. Then Chris missed a couple of practices, and the tingling became an itch. Now, with today’s announcement that he’ll likely be in a very expensive suit for (at…

Dinolinks for October 13th through October 14th

Andrea Bargnani and Tim Thomas? According to ESPN’s Stat Psychic/Hair Club For Men Client John Hollinger, at this stage in his career, Il Mago most closely resembles Tim Thomas. (you have to be an ESPN Insider to read the article. Join the club, Hoops fans – or piggyback on someone else’s profile, like I do).…

A defeat which shows our weaknesses

Toronto Raptors 103, Real Madrid 104 There was a little too much inflated optimism going about around the club and I’m sure with a loss to European Club Real Madrid, the balloon of false positives has been popped. In the European training camp all I’ve been hearing is this: How great Bargnani is. How great…

Ten Reasons To…

…Pay Attention During The Pre Season 10. The Biggest Losers. Cause it’s fun to see who’s been stacking plates in the weight room, and who’s just been stacking plates. Nothing short of Al-Qaeda allegiance worries a GM more. Perennial “Watch List” members include Eddie Curry, Michael Sweetney, and The Big Pasta Bowl, Shaq. 9. Rounding…

Can Jason Kapono hit a jumper coming off a screen?

Toronto Raptors 93, Lottomatica Roma 87 A nice enough win over Lottomatica Roma (highlights here) that, like yesterday, outlined some causes of concern and showcased some of the Raptors’ stronger points. Sam Mitchell really wanted to win this game, it would’ve been a bit of an embarrassment losing to Roma a day after the Celitcs…

Game Diary 10/6/07: Raptors vs. Celtics

DiNote: This is my first kick at this, so be gentle. Bound to pick it up after a few games. Now I know to always write down things like, oh, I don’t know, the score. Please leave me comments letting me know how to improve. (Also, this diary would have been up much earlier, but…

Raptors fall to Celtics but let’s read between the lines

Toronto Raptors 85, Boston Celtics 89 It would’ve been nice to get a win to start things off, yeah I know it’s preseason but even then a win can’t hurt the old confidence of a team that’s been predicted to finish third in the division which they happen to be champions of. But let me…

Sean May not Okay

Not a good start to the Bobcat Bet. Sean May is doin’ what the cool kids do and undergoing microfracture surgery to repair his knee. That means his NEW challenge for this season is to avoid ballooning into the Mullato Marshmallow Man, as he’s known to do (below pic is when Sean – only 6-8…
