San Antonio vs. Cleveland: The most predictable NBA Finals ever

Update: 2 for 4 on Game 4 calls – overall 10/13 = 77% Update: 4 for 5 on Game 3 calls. Update: 4 for 4 on Game 2 calls. Watching Game 1 of the NBA finals brought back memories when the NBA was so predictable that Proline actually complied with NBA’s request of taking games…

Surviving a Raptors Off-Season – Part 1

Chris-Bosh.com got new forums, I’m really cheering for those guys but it looks like 13 year olds have penetrated their way in and are creating nonsense threads faster than you can delete them. I’m trying to make a decent contribution there but its going to get lost in the pile of steamy crap that has…

Raps/Nets Game 6: An inch too low

That was the longest subway ride ever. From Eglinton to Union. It seemed like 4 hours but it was only 20 minutes. Just like that last play. I’m just sad, not even upset, just extremely sad over what just happened. It’s too painful to go over the details, let alone the final play. It flat-out…

Raps/Nets Game 5: Where would we be without Calderon?

Greatest T-Shirt Ever [digg=http://digg.com/basketball/Raptors_vs_Nets_Jose_Calderon_saves_the_day_again] If this game is two minutes longer, we lose. TJ Ford gets plowed by Vince early on and is forced to leave, and as inhumane as it sounds and I’ll probably go to hell for it, it was the best thing to happen to the Raps. After he threw his first…

Raps/Nets Game 4 Road Trip! Oh crap, Raps got pwn3d

Before I start describing this pathetic night, let’s focus on the one positive of this game: us. It’s time to give props to The Dirty Dozen that drove down to New Jersey to support the Red. The Raptors gave them nothing but they gave everything to the Raptors. We were the loudest bunch in the…

Raps/Nets Game 2: That Nachbar 3 was in and thankfully out!

>> Scroll down for the videos << What a game, after RJ hit that three all signs pointed to an 0-2 hole but Ford hit some big FTs and AP came up with a huge steal to pull the Raptors through. This might be the first ever playoff game which was won without the winning…

Game 2 Preview: Prelude to a Comeback

Going into Game 2 there’s lots of stuff that needs to be addressed. The wearing red thing: So RJ made fun of Raptor fans for wearing red while the Nets wore red jerseys, so should we change and wear our home whites? Of course not, that would be retarded. It’s classless of New Jersey to…

Game 1 Aftermath: Relax, it’s all going according to plan

I’ve had a chance to have a couple cups of tea and managed to calm down to the point where I can rationally think about what just transpired at the ACC. There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that we played horrible for the majority of the game – our set-defense was…

The Raptors will beat the Nets

  If you bought the tickets two days ago, the value just double or maybe even tripled. The hell with Washington, this is destiny right here. Vince returning to the house that he built only to find a new set of faces running the show and running it better than ever. Kidd/Carter/Jefferson versus Bosh/Ford/Parker and…

NBA refs are ridiculous

That Detroit announcer sounds like a thug. He says DETROIT BALL! like he was going to kill someone if anybody contested him on it. I’ve decided that watching a meaningless game when you’re out of the playoffs is much more fun than watching one where you’re just resting players. Something about not trying on purpose…

Bosh saves Swirksy, Nate Robinson is an ass

Chuck Swirsky was the happiest guy on the planet when Joey Graham finally shut the door on the Knicks comeback with 2 seconds to go. The Swirsk produced the salami and cheese somewhat early with 2:44 left and the Raps nursing a nine point lead but things got way too close for comfort when the…
