Not looking good for the playoffs folks. Keep your fingers crossed.
I’ve lost track of how many times the C**tics have pissed in my cornflakes. They stabbed us a long time ago and now they just twist the knife every time we play them. The part that both hurts and soothes me is the knowledge that they are clearly and without doubt the far superior team, …Continue Reading
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 …Continue Reading
Raptors 96, Celtics 103 – Boxscore No Pierce/Garnett/Rondo, no problem…for the Celtics that is. What a waste of a Saturday night, and so much for that winning streak. I really thought the Raptors wouldn’t have much of a problem last night with the caveat that they come out focused and determined. I had a bad …Continue Reading
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 …Continue Reading
Not a good week for the club, we got clobbered in Denver and then put up little resistance against the Jazz with the defense going from bad to worse. We gave up 108.25 points per game and our league-worst defensive rating went further down a couple notches to 116.4. Thankfully Miami came to town and …Continue Reading
Toronto Star – Raptors’ Jay Triano sees good in the bad It may seem entirely counter-intuitive to imagine Jay Triano would be pleased with what’s transpired with the Raptors of late but coaches are an odd lot and sometimes they don’t really think like regular folk. So in the wake of a 101-82 pasting at …Continue Reading
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 …Continue Reading
There are games that matter less and games that matter more. A Wednesday night thrashing of the Grizzlies at home doesn’t get anyone too excited, a win in Boston does. Hell, a win anywhere against Boston does it for me. In the last two seasons we’re 1-7 against them and frankly, it’s been frustrating and …Continue Reading
Although there’s ****-all to talk about the show must go on. In the recent Triano interview he said: All of a sudden we’ve got two teams now, we’ve got a starting group and a bench group, though I don’t know who’s in which one. Let me help you out, Jay. Here’s your bench: Jarrett Jack, …Continue Reading
