Toronto Raptors 89, Charlotte Bobcats 79 An ugly game in an empty stadium on a lazy Sunday adds up to a win against a team we should have beat. No surprises here except for Jamario grabbing 9 boards. We got destroyed yet again by the guard penetration of Augustin and Felton, the former looking particularly…
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,…
Congratulations, you savvy navigator of the world wide web. You’ve found us! Welcome to Raptors Republic, the newest Raptor fan site. Also, the most comprehensive, most dedicated, and best smelling. If you believe one thing I say (and anyone who’s read my posts probably doesn’t) it’s this: Raptors Republic is going to rock, and that’s…
…what is the Chuck Swirsky “Kevin Durant Compliment” over/under? I’m talking voluntary, distinct, and unprovoked fellatio. I say 7.5. 5 We’ll Hear For Sure “Leo, this kid is something else. He’s got the complete package.” “No matter where this team ends up, they have got a bright future so long as #35 is around.”…
I said one thing before the game: “We have to defend Roger Mason!” Sam said one thing during the game: “Horns up!” Raps fans said one thing after the game: “I’m getting a little tired of this.” ************** There’s such a positive spin on everything coming out of the franchise these days, everyone north…
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: No matter how bad things get here in Toronto…at least we’re not Miami Heat fans. All the palm trees and porn stars in the world wouldn’t wash the taste of stale defeat from my mouth. I couldn’t watch these guys for 82 games without taking up hard…
SITUATION A The Raptors win, everyone calms down for a day, we get a false sense of superiority over the Magic, and we move closer to a first round meeting with Lebron the Wonder Boy. SITUATION B Raptors lose their third in a row, Hedo and Rashard set an NBA record for 3’s made,…
We played to their strengths all game long. – Leo Rautins If “playing to their strengths” means showing all the energy of a Sunday morning shootaround, then Leo’s bang-on. It’s not that Charlotte played particularly well, it’s that our game could be best summed up with one word: YUCK. What a weekend. I…
This MUST be photoshopped…right? Other than responsibility and lineups at the bank, there’s nothing I’m better at avoiding than the details of a PVR’d game. No radio, no text messages or GMail chats, and most important, stay away from the TV. Unfortunately, after I got home from dinner last night I caught an ESPN…
First, I want to say thank you to everyone who offered their condolences yesterday. Now that I’ve calmed down and realized it could have been much worse – my PS3 (48 hrs old!), the Dinette’s jewelry and laptop, TV’s – I’m ready to buy a new laptop (insurance deductible is too high to claim) and move on.…
DiNote: I just got home from work to see my house broken into and my laptop stolen. Fucking furious. I had plans to finish this post, but obviously I’m not in much of a mood. I’ll put it out because otherwise it’s garbage, but it’s rough and raw. Read it or don’t – I don’t…
“We make a great job.” – Carlos Delfino Yes, you certainly did make a great job Carlos, though without you and TJ we’d be counting this an L. Instead, this too-close-for-comfort game pushed us to 7 games over .500 for the first time this season. I guess this should be celebrated. While I…
