Breaking It Down: Three plays that make you go ugh
Raps started out on an 8-0 run. GSW called a timeout, and that was the end of it. The run following GSW's timeout put them in control of the game and they never looked back. Here are three plays from that run focusing on the Raptors' defense (or lack thereof).
Soft Raptors Repeatedly Climb Close, Fall Again
After watching the Raptors get outplayed by a tired Golden State Warriors team on the back end of a road back-to-back, I’m left only with a truth I knew to be so before this game, and even before this season, started. The Raptors are not a very good basketball team right now, and they are…

Also, I should have had Evans dressed at PF in my fantasy league instead of Odom, but the…
Moral victories are for losers
Taking the defending champs to the final possessions of a game is worthy of applause so let me applaud: clap clap clap, clap clap. OK, that warm fuzzy feeling of keeping it close has worn off and instead the rotten stench of defeat has set in.
Toronto Raptors Morning Coffee Nov 6
