I was just thinking that too. I'm sure if we went back into the RR archives to the time when Swirsky was here, the hate would far outnumber the support (and I was a supporter).

Our own Matt Devlin is once again doing play-by-play for TNT's playoff games. The other night John Hollinger tweeted:

Alabi has worked with David Thorpe in the summer and Thorpe is high on his potential - though he seems to hint that Alabi can be lacking in self-motivation. I do remember a comment that Doug Smith...
For me any hate for Hedo dissipated he when those classic Basketball Jones videos came out. All I could do was laugh. http://vimeo.com/13329267
I never hated Antonio Davis. Sure the comments...
Shulman is the best play by play guy. I think people are too hard on Devlin. His banter can get annoying at times, but there are lots of Raptors games where you have to admit there's not much else to...
Sounds like Mark Jackson (now Head Coach of the Warriors)
I think what Chisholm is saying is that Toronto wants to trade Barbosa but that other teams might not bite in the belief that once the trade deadline passes they'll have a shot at getting Leandro for...
Interesting that BC is applying for Canadian citizenship. Nice to see the commitment to the team, the city, and the country.
Now we're letting patriotism get the better of us. Denham Brown was selected 40th by Seattle. He was waived during training camp and no other NBA team picked him up. His attitude has always been...
Casey has used Kemp's and Novitski's names many times lately when discussing Bargnani. While he has definitely made similarities between Dirk's and Andrea's games, he has only used Kemp's name to...
I remember reading a column by Sam Smith a couple years ago where he stated that one reason the Raptors would always have trouble attracting American free-agents was because NBA players hate going...
It's been said that one of Casey's biggest accomplishments is constructing an effective defense in Dallas despite the weaknesses that Dirk and Kidd display on that end of the court. could he work...
Though I'm not in favor of this, but given the dysfunctional state at the ownership level of MLSE, I'm predicting that Bryan Colangelo doesn't get a new contract by the deadline. But instead of...
If you don't like the roadblock that Glen Silvestri and the Teachers' Pension Fund has put down in front of the Raptors' future, let him know: [email protected]
And with top prospects like Sullinger and maybe Barnes and Irving returning to college, an already disappointing draft gets weaker and weaker. At this rate it's going to be a hoot to follow RR when...
Our chances of landing Irving aren't great. The Cav's need a point guard and Irving's really the only one available who can contribute right away. (And don't forget, Cleveland also has the...
I think what he means by "All-Star" has nothing to do with who will play in the actual game. (As a statistician he likely abhors the way the All-Star teams are selected.) I think his "All-Stars" in...
I often get upset at basketball judgments based purely on statistics (see Hollinger, John), but they can provide useful information. Most progressive NBA teams use them a lot.
Wayne Winston is a...
Why do so many on this forum swoon for the old retreads as the solution to all that ails the Raptors? Last year it was Eddie Jordan and Flip Saunders - and how did their year's go last season? Now...
I know Riley wasn't the coach, but he tried to "school" him frequently. (And someone like Pat Riley wouldn't like a bust at #2 on his resume :D) I agree though that if anyone can bring out...
Positive sign for a S&T - Marc Stein just tweeted that Charlotte is "highly motivated" to get Beasley. One would think that if any coach could get him to get serious it would be Larry Brown. Though...
I think the risk is the cancer he'd likely be in the locker room. That's likely the major reason the Heat haven't been able to find anyone to take him in almost a year of trying.
According to Marc Stein, the Heat still can't find anyone willing to take Beasley off their hands. Why do so many on this forum want him in a Raps uniform? Even Henry Abbott at True Hoop, who has...
Sounds like a solid rotation signing, but wait and see if Denver matches. I'm guessing they won't because Carmello wants them to add an all-star caliber starter.
Kleiza bio:...
What a knob! What kind of research and interviewing went into that article in all of three hours! And who in Toronto has declared Ed Davis our new franchise player???
