Since I just wrote a game preview for the last Grizz game, I’m not going to do a lick of research for this post. Because as my good friends know, impeccable memory (along with laser vision and elephantitis of the genitals) is one of my finer qualities. We beat them on their court, which, following Raptor Logic™,…
Jamariomania is spreading like hot butter on the shaved thighs of a Thai hooker. Check out some neat new gems about the Moon Man on ESPN’s TrueHoop here, including his delinquent “smuggling a Discman into school” criminal past. Sing it, Jamario! (to be fair, Jamario only found out Canada existed a few months ago. Not a whole…
Check these hoop-related links for November 19th through November 26th: Moon goes to dogs, by choice – i love this article. Plain and simple Colangelo pleased, sees room for improvement NBA 2007-08 Celtics vs. 1995-96 Bulls – This comparison of the new-look Celts and the record-setting Bulls squad of the 90’s is interesting…and meaningless. The…
This teeter-totter’s making me nauseous. But a win’s a win’s a win, even against the NBA equivalent of Glass Joe, seen below mimicking the Chicago Bulls’ 4th quarter. What a mess. Where do you start? When you play like a disinterested rec league team down by 20, it’s more than lack of effort – it’s…
Chicago Bulls 78, Toronto Raptors 93 If you can’t beat the Bulls at home these days your team probably deserves to be in the NBDL. A relatively easy 93-78 win over Chicago at home puts us back at .500 with Memphis and Cleveland coming up at home. There’s not much to say from this game…
The Raptors have a habit of ‘hanging around’ winnable games, unable to drive nails into the coffins of lesser teams. Well, you can’t hang around when you’re playing against Lebron – he’ll string you up by your shoelaces and leave you for dead, swaying from the rafters like a worked-over punching bag. LeBeast devoured us…
Toronto Raptors 108, Cleveland Cavaliers 111 Another day, another Raptors loss, another game that was just begging to be won through the first three quarters. But when you let a team hang around for that long, they’re bound to come back and bite you in the ass and bite they did. Chris Bosh’s monster 41…
Alvin Williams, the former Raptor who played for Villanova and Germantown Academy, has joined Comcast SportsNet’s Sixers Post Game Live. His first appearance will take place after tonight’s game. If this is old news, it’s new to me. Though his stint with the Clippers didn’t work out, I’m glad to hear he’s still in the…
No time for a regular size post today. So here goes Dino-lite (hopefully still Dino-mite!) 1. Did anyone else get a deja-vu feeling when we almost let the lead slip away in the fourth…twice? Lucky for us, Pau looked less interested in stealing a victory than he did in getting home to catch the end…
Toronto Raptors 95, Memphis Grizzlies 89 A much needed win delivered home by Chris Bosh’s 22 points and 19 rebounds along with a late Bargnani triple which gave the good guys a one point lead with 2:14 left. Carlos Delfino added another three late on to seal the win in a game which was there…
Let’s blame Dirk for the shitty weather today as well. Or should we just continue to blame Mitchell? Old bastard’s more stubborn than James Dolan, and like the Knick fans, we’re the ones who suffer. I’m praying to see a big cane creeping out from stage left…but then again, I was calling for Smitch’s head…
Toronto Raptors 99, Dallas Mavericks 105 If you had any doubt whatsoever that we weren’t going to blow that 24 point lead at some point during the game you probably haven’t been a Raptors fan for too long. That first quarter was just too good to be true and too similar to last year’s game…
