Opening Tip, Previewing GSW with a podcast interview and more
Instead of giving you a Raptor fans’ opinion about what the Warriors bring to the table, it’s better to get somebody who has covered the Warriors on a daily basis for more than a decade. I had a chance to preview tonight’s game with Matt Steinmetz who is an analyst for Comcast Sports Bay Area…
If O’Neal can do that for us every night, we’ll be fine
Toronto Raptors 95, Philadelphia 76ers 84 If we had lost that game would you have written off this team? No, of course not. So let’s not get carried away after one win either, even though it happened to be the most impressive regular season win this franchise had registered in six years. Yes, six years.…
Roll Call – Oct 29 vs 76ers
A new season, a new home for roll call, and a Raptors win in what could be a game to decide playoff seeding later on. Sah-weet. Adams – last seen hitting up the ATM at King and Bathurst before heading to “the doctor” Bargnani – not often you’d hear me say this about someone with…

Tim Chisholm talks to Raptors Republic
Tim Chisholm, basketball writer for TSN.ca was kind enough to chat some hoops with us. You can check out his regular blog here. Here’s a very brief summary: Sam Mitchell’s X’s and O’s: Feel’s like Sam’s not capable of having a great assistant which takes a large role in how the team works. Mitchell’s gone…
Time to send a message; Introducing “The Opening Tip”
It’s finally here, opening night. Raptors and 76ers from Philly starting at 6PM EST tonight to tip-off our 14th season. The game is a tough one. Home openers are hard to win as a road team but Philadelphia has lost 3 of their last 4 which should give the Raptors some hope. An early divisional…
Video Blog: Raps Fan’s Top 10 Things He Wants to See Against Philly
Forgive me, but I am fighting a cold, and sorry AltRaps, I had to kick it off from my living room (none of those decorative books lining my walls).
Contest winner + Random Raptor + New poll gauges expectations
First up let’s announce the contest winner. We ran a SQL query which randomly selected one comment from the 199 that were submitted. Just for fun we’ve shown 4 other people who came oh so close to winning….
Mitchell content with roster (or so he says to himself)
Team news for the day is the Raptors exercising the club option on Bargnani’s contract. Imagine if they had let him walk? I mean, picture Colangelo holding a press conference and walking up to the podium along with Sam Mitchell and saying, “The club has decided to part ways with Andrea Bargnani. This was not…
T minus 2 days + Some things the Raptors should do
Let’s start off this morning by thanking Eric Smith for linking to the free ticket contest. Nice of him. The season’s a mere three days away and the Raptors are picking up some injuries. They’ve all been to low-key players such as Hassan Adams, Will Solomon and Nathan Jawai but when your roster is this…
Jamario Moon’s Summer Diary Journal
With a week until the season starts, there’s not much to say that hasn’t been said. We’ve heard ad nauseam about our lack of defence, Sam Mitchell’s Lasik (which, if you ask me, makes him look like the type that sleazes up to drunk chicks at a jazz bar), and, highest on many skeptic’s lists,…
