No time for a regular-length post today. Gotta get life all wrapped up before I hit a Christmas Non-Denominational Holiday Party, where my focus turns from basketball to getting my greedy little fingers on all the drink tickets I can. I’m going to record the game, but chances are I’ll get home and just fast…
Toronto Raptors 100, Atlanta Hawks 88 I’d rather take a loss than see TJ Ford carried out on a stretcher, needless to say it brought to mind the Mark Madsen collision which ended up breaking Ford’s vertebrae. Coming off a stinger injury which made him miss about two weeks, this was the last type of…
I had a whole post written about this game; my usual rushed resin-soaked ramblings. Nothing to laugh about tonight. No, not even Chuck slowly degrading Leo with references to his laughable basketball career. Not even seeing Tyronn Lue on the sidelines without his wormwig. We could have just seen TJ’s last game for a while.…
There was a time, not long ago, where Atlanta winning 3 straight was the universal signal for Armageddon. Fast forward to 2007, where the Atlanta Tiny Tykes are 10-10 following a surprising home win last night against Orlando. The Hawks are an exciting squad of athletes too young to legally drink but old enough to…
So, I’m not going to go ahead and make a big ol’ stinkin’ deal about finally beating a team with a plus .500 record… although I’m not the only one who felt an extra tingle out of knocking that smarmy stoner grin off T-Mac’s baby face. On a night where Bosh’s return was enough to…
Houston Rockets 80, Toronto Raptors 93 A solid win triggered by the defense and headlined by Chris Bosh’s gritty return. When we were down 16-2 to start the game it felt like the Boston game hadn’t ended with Shane Battier draining open threes after mild penetration. Houston’s domination didn’t last long as the Raptors stepped…
No significant pre-game post today because of yesterday’s (read it) mid-season (read it) analysis (reading it cures impotence! Get on it!), but I couldn’t resist prospect of posting a… Girl Talk: Rafer Alston As of this very moment…I vow to myself to never view this site again…yall can have Rafer’s lying ass…he will NEVER change….and…
A quarter of the way through a movie, there are things you know, and things you don’t. You got the main characters, the immediate problem, and you’re just about to get down to business. An NBA season is no different. After twenty, you should know what to expect from your personnel, know roughly what’s going…
Toronto Raptors 84, Boston Celtics 112 Hmmm…you didn’t need to watch past the first quarter because the other three were the same: Boston tearing an undermanned Raptors squad inside out as the Raps struggle with their offense while the coaching staff simply waits for Bosh/Bargs to come back. Yes, we were missing two key players…
Some days, I get to work and can’t stop yawning. Or I’ve got a song stuck on ‘repeat one’ in my head (this was in my head for most of 03-04) until noon. It happens, especially this time of year. Some days, you just lay an egg. Wannabe’s, amateurs, professionals, even the great ones. It’s…

Does Pizza Pizza hate Jesus? Well, if Jesus is a Raptors fan (we know he’s a Spurs guy), then the answer is yes. For those who don’t live in Ontario, Pizza Pizza is an Ontario franchise that offers to redeem Raptors tickets for a free slice if they score 100 points. It’s cardboardy goodness, Canadian style. To all the sliceophiles…
