You’ll understand in a minute. Just like we thought, a blowout win. An “answer” to Friday’s game that frankly should have counted as two losses. If it’s okay with you, I’m gonna keep my brow furrowed until we know the outcome of tomorrow’s game in Indiana. They’re a team playing without two of their “stars”…
Dear Jamario Moon, You’re a 27 year old rookie in the NBA. After last night, it is crystal clear why. Here’s a bit of free advice: If you want to stay in the NBA, take it to the rack. Let me say it again: TAKE. IT. TO. THE. RACK. Not once, not twice, but maybe…
Juan Dixon scoring his first and only basket as a Raptor, above. Farewell, Juan Dixon. We hardly knew ye…and we hardly cared. Minutes before today’s 3pm trade deadline, Juan “Sharpshooter Dullshooter” Dixon was traded to the Detroit Basketball Pistons for big ol’ Primoz Brezec, who now has the distinction of being traded TWICE in the…
On the road today, so no time for blogging shenanigans. That is, until you all start paying me to do this (I’m lookin’ at you, Shrugz! If hip-hop’s taught me anything, it’s that anyone who can afford to use a “z” purely for ceremony must have a couple million set aside. Get on it.) The…
Players lucky enough to be a part of the All-Star festivities are in New Orleans. Other players chose to use the week off for a little R&R. Some head to their home town to lay back with family and friends. In the wake of omnipresent trade rumors falling his worst season as a…
Hahahaha…like living in New Jersey wasn’t bad enough…how’s it going now, buddy?? I’m guessing Vince didn’t stick around to congratulate Jay Triano on becoming the winningest Canadian coach in NBA history, so I’ll do it for him – congratulations! (Seriously, good for him. SO glad it’s not Leo) No Kidd. No Kwame. Seems Toronto’s been…
Even with Manu going off like an air raid siren. Even after being down 9-0 and 18-6. Even after being outrebounded, once again. Even if, ultimately, we didn’t deserve it. Even still… We could have had this one. The Spurs might be old, they might be slow, but they’re the defending world champs and they…
With the Raptors having almost a week off between games against bottom-dwellers like Miami and Minnesota, they were more than ready to dominate yet another inferior team, showing their poise and consistency against lesser competi…what? Whaddya mean there was a game on Friday? Nope, didn’t happen. Insist all you want, but that’s impossible – I have…
…is not a lottery winner, MuchMusic VJ, or Yorkville gynecologist, but this man: Ari Xenarios. The energetic small forward for the Ringers (TCSSC’s version of the Phoenix Suns), affectionately known as The Greek Streak* for his blazing speed, is also a broadcaster, the booming voice of the Humber Hawks and the UofT Blues. *As…
Fact: Unsatisfied superstars to push teams to the next level. Fact: “The next level” is euphemism for “beating the Spurs.” Fact: Both the Lakers and the Suns (pending) have taken this themselves to the next level. Am I jumping the gun a bit by discussing the Suns/Heat trade as if it already happened? Sure, but…
So apparently basketball is NOT tennis (and tennis? Not foxy boxing). One guy’s supreme talent alone* can’t lift a team to victory, no matter how many times People tells us he’s mad hot (Poor Sam Cassell, snubbed again). * Not that he was on last night. It’s tough to play inspired ball when you don’t care about…
Kobe’s a killer. Let me preface this post by saying while I reallllllyyyy wanted to watch this game, the Dinette had a friend over tonight. So I’m perched on the couch with my beverage and notepad watching Bargnani spice up the meatball…but the couch, on this fine snowy evening, happened to also be SMACK in…
