Download the Opening Tip to find out the winner of the “Black guy with white name award”. It’s back to the road again starting tonight with stops in Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Clipperland, Sacramento, Portland and finally Golden State before we come home to face the Nuggets on New Years eve rounding off 2008. The…
Its official, I need help. Serious, professional, help. My problem is simple: as bad as this team plays, as horrible as the GM is, and as much as I swore I would never love another bad team after three decades of being a Red Sox fan (pre 2004)…I still get excited when Joey Graham shows…
Franchise Player vs. Wannabe Franchise Player Mavericks 96, Raptors 86 That’s what Jay Triano told Chris Bosh after he benched him in the third quarter because he was playing like a prima donna. Listen child, if we wanted our PF to take jumpers we’d get Dell Curry and Tracy Murray out of retirement, have them…
The “booooooooo” edition. Adams – the hole in the middle of this donut of a team. Bargnani – like those dry crusty timbits that are left over in the office kitchen. Oh how fickle the Toronto crowd is. Cheering a few games back, booing tonight. Deservedly so? Bosh – the eclair….except tonight it was more…

First off, a big shout out to all the members of the Raptors Republic. Its great to be on board and I look forward to giving a voice to angry Raptors’ fans everywhere- each and every week! For starters, I’d like to revisit a couple of ideas that I have been writing about for the…
OK, has anyone here heard of this thing called “boxing out”? Nets 94, Raptors 87 It doesn’t even register with me when this team builds a 16 point lead, they could be up by 32 and I’d still be worried if there were more than 5 minutes left in the game. Why? Because when it…
The “we’re up double digits….we got this…..oh crap” edition. Adams – One of life’s biggest mysteries: how this guy even pulls down a per diem. Bargnani – got to the line, where he was perfect, tangled with Vince, spoke back to #15, but had the foul bug bite him a bit too hard again. Still,…
This game is being shown on TSN2, the channel that when it does come on Rogers, I will never watch except for the Raptors game and even then, I’ll PVR the game so I don’t get to watch the commercials and make the shits who advertise on there suffer. We’ll try to have the game…
Not exactly a smooth offensive move. Hornets 99, Raptors 91 No surprises here, the Raptors lose to the Hornets as Bosh gets outplayed and we allow way too much dribble-penetration that sets up clean looks for their on-the-mark shooters. The Raptors still haven’t gotten a quality win this year and their next chance will come…
The “Sean Marks!?!?” edition. Adams – MC Stumpy was last seen doing…well…nothing. Bargnani – DJ Don’t Blame Me, He’s The One Who Took Me #1 Overall showed flashes today of the improvement he displayed earlier in the season. His shooting was off, but he was more active. Again, if it took him 2 seasons to…
