A 7 point 4th quarter lead on the road needs to be valiantly protected, not Darrick Martinized!
Toronto Raptors 96, Portland Trailblazers 101 This one hurt real bad. It hurt bad because we had a chance to win it and should have won it. We shot ourselves in the foot by playing bad fourth quarter defense and not putting our best players on the court at the right time. The momentum of…
15-11, Toronto vs. Portland 10:00pm
“It was one of those nights you just wanted to end.” – Doug Smith That last quarter dragged on worse than a Hollywood awards show, made worse because there weren’t even hot actresses to distract me (though I’m confident Dan Dickau could pass for Maggie Gyllenhaal in the right light). I was dozing off on…
Chris Kaman on suicide watch as Raptors win in LA
Toronto Raptors 80, LA Clippers 77 I love these West coast games, no better way to spend a late night watching the Raptors, drinking tea and eating almonds until blisters start popping on the roof of your mouth. Who cares if it’s 1:30AM and that you have a FT job to go to, I might…
Raptors vs. Clippers, 10:30pm
Better take a nap after work, it’s gonna be a late one! I love late games. They always feel more like an ‘event’. They always seem to come down to the wire, keeping me up past my bedtime and ruining any chance of next-day productivity. Plus, it’s more fun to watch the game at a…
The Dinosty Presents: Holiday Edition
I moved around a lot when I was younger. As a result, I was used to being labeled the ‘new kid’. It was tough. Maybe not as tough as it was for Sergei, the stuttering Slovenian with the glandular problem (last seen sniffing the toilet seats in the girls locker room), but still, making new…
14-11
Today showed us why we’re not winning the Atlantic Division title for the next three years unless Massachusetts crumbles off the New England coastline and floats down somewhere near Florida. As the Arsenalist pointed out, the Celtics are a better team than us (though he’s way premature with the “Bargnani’s a bust” bullhorn.) And though…
The Celtics are just better than the Raptors. It’s that simple. Plus, Bargnani might be a bust.
Boston Celtics 90, Toronto Raptors 77 That was hard to watch and don’t let the score fool you, this game wasn’t even close. The Celtics come into our building missing one of their big guns and blow us out of the water while we play like stiffs in awe of our opponents rather than go…

Games like this used to be the reason people disliked the Eastern conference: a slow, annoying, unspectacular matchup “featuring” two average squads without marquee players on a snowy winter night. If you’re a Pacer fan, this game might still fall into that category for you. If you’re a Raptors fan, there was lots to get…
Kapowned!
Toronto Raptors 104, Indiana Pacers 93 I’ll say little about the game because if you saw it you know it was a gutsy effort on the road that speaks volumes about the potential for this club. If you didn’t see it, maybe NBA.com can help you out. Down 17 in the third quarter this had…
13-10, and introducing “Introducing…”
Didn’t watch the game when I got home last night for two reasons: 1. I was too busy ravenously stuffing crackers into my mouth and unknowingly creating enough crumbs on the couch to feed a Ugandan village*. Makes villagers happy, girlfriend irritated. * I hear they really like crumbs! 2. I spent half the night…
Nice, why can’t the Raptors always play like this
Dallas Mavericks 76, Toronto Raptors 92 Just finished watching the Dallas game which I had handpicked as a win, that’s right man, you should’ve taken the +4. Enough good things happened in Atlanta which led me to believe that we’d win this one with or without TJ Ford. See, coming up with a recipe for…
