After three consecutive Raptors turnovers and Josh Howard free throws… 61-59 Raptors. I blame the poultry.
Premature Post #1
Seconds after Chris Bosh just posterized Dirk… and minutes after Bargnani just hit his fourth three….wow. 42-21 Raptors. Either my bbq chicken was laced…or…. But shhh. Game isn’t over yet. (Still…wow.)
Toronto vs. Dallas, 8:30
From today’s Toronto Star: “It would be nice if I didn’t have to point (everything) out all the time, if they’d do it for each other,” said the coach. “Right now I’m the guy who has to push. They need to learn to push each other.”It’s debatable whether the players are precisely sure what Mitchell…
Over the Moon
Despite the disappointing result of yesterday’s game, one thing should be put to rest. That’s right, get ready for a Jamario Moon Lovefest! (cue theme music) As far as I’m concerned, the debate over who’s starting at the 3 spot is a closed case, at least for the foreseeable future. No one would have predicted…

At first, it’s way too easy. All you do is grab her ass as she walks past the dance floor, and within minutes she’s buying you drinks. The conversation flows casually, everything you say is funny. To make things even better, she doesn’t have a case of Hot Girl/Ugly Laugh Syndrome. Out of the gates,…
It’s gotten so bad that any offense we get out of Bosh is considered a bonus
Golden State Warriors 106, Toronto Raptors 100 So much for the 10AM PST start time and so much for the Warriors blowing big leads and so much for Baron Davis having a bad game and so much for the Raptors getting any shot they want against the much maligned Warriors defense. It all amounts to…
5-4
Well, good for us. We took one down at home, most of our players returned to form/showed us why we pay them at all, and it wasn’t mind-numbingly mundane. Our season record continues to teeter-totter. And so it goes. Some* game notes followed by some key learnings: * Actually, there’s a fair bit. If you’re…
Raptors do enough things right to beat Pacers, a team we’re supposed to beat
Indiana Pacers 101, Toronto Raptors 110 Technically this wasn’t a must-win game but if we would’ve lost tonight, massive alarm bells would’ve gone off, after all you can’t allow the Pacers to snap their five game losing streak on your home floor. So the Raps dug deep, did enough good things on the floor to…
Toronto vs. Indiana 7:30
Going into two very winnable games at home. But apparently ‘winnable’ and ‘win’ have less in common than I thought. Apparently the Raptors, like many men, just can’t seem to win at home. Tonight, we set our sights on the Pacers. After their 3-0 start, The Indiana Irrelevants have lost six straight, re-aligning the cosmos…
4-4 – Game Diary
You know those once-in-a-lifetime experiences? Well, I had the great fortune of attending the Raptors/Jazz game last night in the company of none other than Sam Mitchell*. Since he wasn’t coaching, he had no problem coming to sit in section 104 and converse with me. After all, as he says, ‘the team kind of just…
A horrible game from our “stars” ends up in an ugly home loss punctuated by a defensive breakdown and Sam not calling a timeout to setup a final play
Utah Jazz 92, Toronto Raptors 88 Unfortunately for Bosh you can’t take 85% of the game off on the offensive end, show up in the last three minutes and expect to win the game. As for Bargnani, when you’re strictly a jump shooter it’s only natural that there are nights where your jumper isn’t working.…
