This trade is hardly worth it’s own post but since we’re all Raptors fans it’s mandatory to beat a topic, however inconsequential, to it’s ultimate death. If you’re sick and tired of hearing about the trade deadline and would like a more entertaining and humorous read, look no further than funnyman Dinosty’s take on the…
Juan Dixon scoring his first and only basket as a Raptor, above. Farewell, Juan Dixon. We hardly knew ye…and we hardly cared. Minutes before today’s 3pm trade deadline, Juan “Sharpshooter Dullshooter” Dixon was traded to the Detroit Basketball Pistons for big ol’ Primoz Brezec, who now has the distinction of being traded TWICE in the…
Orlando Magic 110, Toronto Raptors 127 Move the ball, go inside with Bosh, shoot well from the outside and play just enough defense. Sounds simple enough but the chances of all four things happening on the same night are rare, but when they do happen, it’s a sure sign the Raptors will win a blowout.…
On the road today, so no time for blogging shenanigans. That is, until you all start paying me to do this (I’m lookin’ at you, Shrugz! If hip-hop’s taught me anything, it’s that anyone who can afford to use a “z” purely for ceremony must have a couple million set aside. Get on it.) The…
*Completely accurate and not-at-all made up. Andrea Bargnani’s Hotel Bill Rigatoni al pollo x 3 Pizzas (pepperoni, mushroom, mozzarella) x 5 Multipulciano D’Abruzzo x 10 San Pellegrino x 15 Tartufo x 3 Moisturizing Hand Cream x 1 Sleep Mask x 2 Slippers, size XXL x 2 Note: Bedframe damaged, cracked in middle *************** Jason Kapono’s…
One usually give two shits about the dunk contest but this year it would’ve been nice to see the crown return to Toronto and the Raps get a sweep of the top two ASSN competitions. Kapono’s demolition of the field (take that Lebron you pompous little prick) wasn’t a surprise and if anything, I was…
Players lucky enough to be a part of the All-Star festivities are in New Orleans. Other players chose to use the week off for a little R&R. Some head to their home town to lay back with family and friends. In the wake of omnipresent trade rumors falling his worst season as a…
Meaningless Playoff Positioning If the playoffs started today the Nets would grab the 7th seed while Philadelphia would round out the top 8. The Raptors would start their first round series in Cleveland. We’re 6 games ahead of New Jersey and 3.5 games back of Orlando which is in 3rd spot, the difference between the…
Hahahaha…like living in New Jersey wasn’t bad enough…how’s it going now, buddy?? I’m guessing Vince didn’t stick around to congratulate Jay Triano on becoming the winningest Canadian coach in NBA history, so I’ll do it for him – congratulations! (Seriously, good for him. SO glad it’s not Leo) No Kidd. No Kwame. Seems Toronto’s been…
New Jersey Nets 91, Toronto Raptors 109 What I don’t like about a win like this is that gives fans a false sense of how good this team is, once you look at this game in the context of the Clippers and Spurs game, you get the true feel of things. So let’s enjoy this…
In our last game before the All-Star Break, 4th Assistant Coach Jay Triano is riding the bouncing pony tonight on the Replacement Coach Merry-Go-Round. Can’t wait to see which ill-advised lineups and defensive schemes he’ll break out to show Sam he should be “listened to”. TJ and Jose and Juan, all at the same…
Even with Manu going off like an air raid siren. Even after being down 9-0 and 18-6. Even after being outrebounded, once again. Even if, ultimately, we didn’t deserve it. Even still… We could have had this one. The Spurs might be old, they might be slow, but they’re the defending world champs and they…
