To put it all in perspective…
This is what we cheer for, scream at, and – during delicate times – obsess over. Six years later, we could have been the Toronto Shreks. P.S. Eight years later, the Toronto Clownfish.

A tough loss to the Magic, another winnable game that slipped away before our eyes. Why? A few reasons. Many point to the obvious cold streak from the field (99-256 over the three losses for a grand percentage of 39%) illustrated by the cringe-inducing airballs, front-rim bangers, and silly turnovers. But that is bound to…
Sam Mitchell loses the game by doing this: 3:22 4th Qtr – Calderon Substitution replaced by Ford
Orlando Magic 105, Toronto Raptors 96 What do you do when your team has just managed to cut down a 10 point deficit down to 2 with 3:22 left? Change the entire flow of the game by taking out the PG that’s driving the offense. How’s that sound for Coach of the Year type coaching?…
2-2 (or so I heard)
I was doing SO well. To be fair, he did ask me if I wanted to know before he punched me in the teeny-tinys with the horrible news. And I bit. Like a dirty, desperate drug addict, like the obnoxious Mohinder predictably whines every episode of “Heroes”…I needed to know. Here’s the backstory: I had…
If Bosh is injured, sit him down, we can’t take this anymore
Milwaukee Bucks 112, Toronto Raptors 85 Maybe Bill Simmon isn’t out of his mind to pick the Bucks to make the playoffs and the Raptors to miss them, tonight’s display in Milwaukee was about as bad as any blowout played in the old Skydome. The only difference being that back then we had an excuse…
Raptors vs. Bucks – 8:00pm
Tonight is widely tagged across Raptors Nation as a ‘bounce back’ game. The Bucks look decent on paper, with improving racist Andrew Bogut, greedy rookie Yi Jianlian, underrated Mo Williams, and now that Paul Pierce has some new friends, the Loneliest Superstar in the NBA, Michael Redd. We’re a much deeper, more balanced, better coached…
Isn’t he just the goofiest little pepperoni you ever did see?
Seriously, this was the BEST pic from that photo shoot? Well on the bright side, here’s proof that a photo can simultaneously prevent you from AND get you closer to sexual intercourse.
Dinolinks for November 3rd through November 5th
Check these hoop-related links for November 3rd through November 5th: Andrea Bargnani Defending Kevin Garnett, Nov. 4/07 – I’m still not convinced it should be Bargnani’s job to cover top PF/C players, but this video makes it look like he did a pretty good job against KG yesterday. Japanese milk ad – Milk. Yao Ming’s…

For all of the offensive fireworks displayed in Jersey, we must have left the gunpowder in the Meadowlands becuase we were shooting blanks yesterday against the Boston Celtic All-Stars. (Room here for an impotence zinger, but I’m more mature than that.) It was a game we were lucky to have been in at all. 27%…
Garnett scores 9 straight on Bosh and Ray Allen drains the game-winner. Fuck.
Boston Celtics 98, Toronto Raptors 95 (OT) Sometimes I question why I even keep a blog but losses like these remind me that it’s because frustration and anger needs an outlet and this is it. Let’s keep everything aside and state that Chris Bosh was dominated by Kevin Garnett to a tune of 9 straight…
Raptors vs. Celtics, 2:30pm
So what’s it take not to be “that guy” who shows up to his Sunday spinning class at 9:30 only to forget about daylight savings time and have to sit there for an hour in spandex and clip-booties like a schmuck because he forgot to perform the simple task of setting his clocks back? Simple.…

Fuckin’ shit. New Jersey, meet the New Raptors. In what only can be described as a thorough embarrassment, Nets fans watched slack-jawed as the Raptors shellacked the home team Washington Generals Nets. I haven’t seen a beating this lopsided since Rodney King. Raptors nation should consider this ass kicking the beginning of The Great Payback.…
