While Toronto was dominating Atlanta in the first half, a few hundred miles away New Jersey was getting stomped by the Orlando. The difference in the two games was the Hawks mustered what resembled a little like a challenge while the Nets kept getting trampled. A total team effort with Mo Peterson and Chris Bosh…
The warning signs were all over the wall. I was weary after the Bobcats game and with good reason because the Raptors have major difficulty stopping teams that decide to drive on every single possession. So when the Hornets came in to town on a back-to-back and losers of 10 of 11 on the road,…
I was at this game and it’s the best place to check out the offensive sets and assign the blame correctly when things go wrong. So what I say carries merit. It’s also hard to criticize Chris Bosh because he puts up the numbers like tonight, but if I had to pick some people who…
I remember when the Philly games used to be something to look forward to. You had Iverson, Aaron McKie, Tyrone Hill and Eric Snow to contend with and it was always a nervous affair. It’s one of the few rivalries the Raptors actually had; it originated when the Raptors lost to Philadelphia on Vince Carter’s…
It’s too bloody painful to think about this game, let alone recap it, but since I’ve undertaken the task of keeping a Raptor blog, duty calls. Nowitzki willed Mavs through The problem with the Raptors isn’t that they can’t play defense, the problem is they can’t do it for more than 25 minutes a game.…
Despite Boston suiting nine players with no starter over the age of 22, the Celts managed to trouble the Raptors long enough to cast doubts over the mental makeup of the Raptors team. A painful and miserable Raptors effort for the majority of the contest saw them give Boston every opportunity to pull this game…
The most important thing to note in this game was that the Bucks were missing major contributors in Michael Redd, Charlie Villanueva, Bobby Simmons and Maurice Williams. So when the Raptors walked in to the Bradley Center, they knew they had a good chance to come out with a win, a perfect response to the…
Vince had 32 to make up for his bad game in TorontoI didn’t expect the Raptors to win this game. Playing in New Jersey against an under-pressure Nets team that just got swept in a home-and-home by the Cavs, the Raptors weren’t going to be allowed to win this game. The Nets simply aren’t that…
Based on The Score’s three minute intro to the game which consisted entirely of Gilbert Arenas hitting game winners, throwing down jams and hitting fadeaways, I thought the Raps were in for a let down. But the NBA’s second leading scorer didn’t seem to rattle anybody in a Raptors uniform this afternoon, and if anything,…
Here’s a picture of Chris Bosh so you get some idea of what happened tonight.Hawks didn’t have a chance in this one; fell behind early and never really recovered. Like the Raptors with TJ Ford, they came in missing a key player in Josh Smith. That’s about all the analysis you need from this game.…
Actually went to this affair which saw the return of Chris Bosh and the exit of TJ Ford and Jorge Garbajosa. It ended 100-98 for the Suns and more importantly, no pizza for me since the Raptors didn’t reach the 100 point plateau. The Suns jumped out to a 17 point second quarter lead at…
