Raptors Republic Superstar

We don't need him. Even if DeRozan is traded, our wing rotation of Gay, Fields and Ross doesn't need Anderson. Anderson doesn't bring anything...

Here's Tim's latest entry: http://www.tsn.ca/blogs/tim_chisholm/?id=423674

No worries about the translation as these quotes came from Tuesday's media conference call. Colangelo also went on to say that a change of scenery...

"We're gonna implement a Dwight Howard type offense for you, Aaron. Just like we did last year with Dirk and Andrea."

It's the timeless "nature vs. nurture" debate to which there is no definitive answer. But I agree with TRX's point that we shouldn't be so quick...

How are we looking for assistant coaches without a GM? Is Aaron Gray conducting the interviews? #MakesNoSense

Speaking of backup PG, I hear Prigioni might be available. I think he'd be a solid veteran backup (who can actually distribute the ball), that would...

I find teams that use state names annoying, simply for the lack of consistency in the league. Do the Warriors represent the state of California, or...

In my book, that's our core right there (along with Amir). That's a healthy foursome to build a team from.

Although extremely odd, I personally don't see Colangelo's "new role" being much of a concern because my hunch is that he's out the door as soon as...

Just wait til October when Casey names Bargnani our starting power forward :p

I would vote against Wolverines for 2 reasons: 1. The last time we tried to bank in on movie success, it failed miserably. 2. When I think of...

Doug Smith reporting a head-hunting firm has been hired to find Colangelo's replacement: ...

Some (myself included) would argue that a "gaping hole" exists at SG even if we keep DeRozan....

Didn't know where else to put this: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Least efficient midrange volume guys: 1. Monta, 2. Boozer, 3. Gay, 4....

That's the beauty of trash-talking. You could be LeBron James, but a witty opponent can still find a way to rip you ;)

There is a bit of a "dorky" (for lack of a better word) stigma associated with glasses on the court. But that would apply to first impressions only....

I guess we'll agree to disagree. I personally don't believe the Leafs were a factor in Colangelo's (yet to be) decision. I just don't see how one...

It doesn't make much sense why the Leafs would cause a delay in Colangelo's decision. "Can't...conduct...businesss. Watching...hockey"

I'm of the belief that a team can't hide a front court player who is a poor defender/rebounder. If Bargnani was left to focus on just his shot, I'm...

I've been screwed with this kind of unsubstantiated optimism before. I refuse to let that happen again. I should've learned my lesson with the...

Not sure I agree it's the organization's fault for wanting/expecting Bargnani to diversify his game. He wasn't exactly a 3-point specialist coming...

Casey needs to design our offense around Bargnani (like Dirk in Dallas). Then everything will fall into place....

This team would need to "overachieve" to make the 8th seed.

As for Michael Grange, loved his work when he was still writing for the Globe & Mail. I haven't found his Sportsnet pieces to be as good, but I...

In what alternate universe is Maxiell an upgrade over Amir? Probably the same universe that has TV spots advertising shows "based on the stand-up...

My main point was to give the viewing audience more credit. Canadians are no longer "new" to basketball where the SkyDome faithful would cheer the...

But wasn't MLSE one of the North America's biggest sports conglomerates long before Lieweke? What does he bring that changes anything in that...

First, good find Matt. McLean's would be the last place I look for Raptors news. Second, I had no idea McLean's was owned by Rogers :| Third,...

Whether Lowry is a championship calibre PG is to be determined, but nobody really made that claim. And the same can be said about every position on...
