Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

Days of Thunder

Jealous of the talent on the Thunder? You’re not the only one. With Westbrook, Durant and Green headlining the roster and rookie Harden in the wings, Friday March 19th at the ACC is a night to circle on the calendar. Last year Nick Collison out-hustled Bosh on a key play to give us our worst…

Weems 5, DeRozan 0

Things aren’t exciting enough in pre-season so we’re going to create a scandal – Bowling Gate. Did Triano “hustle” Jack? Were Jack’s ulterior motives at play as he intentionally lost to try and appease Triano? Did Marco Belinelli kick the ball thinking he was playing soccer? Did Evans aggravate his foot injury by dropping a…

Triano’s Basketball IQ a Source of Optimism

Despite a rough start to the preseason and the struggles of individuals, alas, the team as a whole, to get in regular season shape, Raptorland remains afloat with optimism. Of course, we have all been here before. For the past half decade, the fan base has levied large expectations on rosters and situations that may…

Raptors Republic Forums

We’re running three fantasy leagues which merits discussion and there’s no place on the current site for that. It’s the main reason behind the newly installed forums.

A boring day at practice

I’m pretty sure Antoine Wright isn’t going to take DeMar DeRozan’s starting spot. See, DeRozan has done exactly what he’s been asked to do, he’s kept an ear open to the vets and coaches, he’s played smart basketball and has improved with each game. Taking him out of the starting lineup won’t necessarily hurt his…

Morning Linkage – Oct 19/09

Toronto Star – Raptors’ Jay Triano sees good in the bad It may seem entirely counter-intuitive to imagine Jay Triano would be pleased with what’s transpired with the Raptors of late but coaches are an odd lot and sometimes they don’t really think like regular folk. So in the wake of a 101-82 pasting at…

It’s only pre-season I tell myself

Turkoglu’s play was one of the few bright spots on a very dismal afternoon. C**tics 101, Raptors 82 – Box C’mon man, try to stay positive, it’s only pre-season. That’s what I was telling myself after the game, to not lose faith so early and give Triano a chance, a chance at a full training…

RR Ratings – Oct 18 vs BOS

C**tics 101, Raptors 82 Banks – N/A Had the flu, test for the swine kind came back negative. Only person that cared either way was his mother. Bargnani – 7 Defended hard, cut hard, fouled hard, played hard. Accepted Perkins’ challenge in the post and made him eat Spalding a couple times. Demanded the ball…
