Chris Bosh, Patrick O’Bryant for Chris Kaman, Blake Griffin?(poll) This week on The Doctor Is In, we are joined by actor, comedian, and musician Christopher Bond formerly of Tony and Tina’s Wedding, Second City, and the writer and Director of Evil Dead The Musical who helps ring in the holidays! In hot or not we…
Bosh for Boozer and 2010 1st rounder (NY’s unprotected pick)(polls) I asked RR for the day off and they said no. Checking in from my bed for the H1N1 edition of The Doctor Is In, we FREAK out! In hot or not, we look at Chris Bosh and Jarrett Jack and in the hugely popular…
Bosh for Yao?(surveys) This week in The Doctor Is In we look at the benefits of bringing AI to TO. Both Marco Belinelli and Coach Triano get the 3rd degree in “hot or not” and we wonder what it would take to send Chris Bosh home. You can click the play button below or listen…
If you want to catch-up on the game tonight, check the uber pre-game thread. This week in The Doctor Is In, I look at the *new* defensive schemes of the Triano regime and their effectiveness 10 games into the season. Newcomer Hedo Turkoglu and returning Raptor Jose Calderon have their games deconstructed in “hot or…
Every Wednesday I check in on the more subtle aspects of the Raptors and NBA. This week in The Doctor Is In we examine the importance of drafting first overall and the future prospects of Andrea Bargnani, give shout-outs to new and returning Raptors in the weekly game of “hot or not”. We also check…
@DeMar_DeRozan – Toronto here I come. Air Canadas back. After a lot of crazy hype in the hours leading up to the draft (that saw some pretty big names get dealt) the draft itself came and went without a whole lot of action. In fact, after the first 10 picks, nothing really happened. The most…
With the draft only hours away and so much still unresolved, I decided to poll the boys at the office to see who they thought was getting their name called by David Stern in the first hour of tonights draft. Here is what the writers at raptorsrepublic.com had to say:
So, if Bryan Colangelo is to be believed, then The Raptors have narrowed their shortlist of potential draft picks for Thursday’s NBA draft to 6 players. According to an interview Colangelo gave on the local radio station Fan590 on June 17, the Raptors are leaning towards selecting a PG or SG in the upcoming draft,…

[audio:http://raptorsrepublic.com/blog/audio/2009-06-02-phdsteve.mp3] 1. Los Angeles Clippers Blake Griffin 20 PF 6-10 248 Oklahoma Griffin is a no-brainer as the #1 overall pick. Every GM, every blog, every website has Griffin ranked as…
No chance DeRozan will be around at #9 My first thought upon hearing that the Raptors would be drafting #9 was happiness. I didn’t want the number one pick this year. Blake Griffin may end up being a stud, but the last thing the Raptors need is another guy who wants to play power forward.…
Colangelo might be right. Triano may be the best coach out there for this team. As Colangelo and his staff went through the options of who might be the head coach next season, they apparently all came to the same conclusion: there was really no better option. “It always kept coming back to Jay Triano”,…
phdsteve’s all for Iverson. Is he making sense or has he lost his mind? Last week on the the Fan 590 Bryan Colangelo confirmed that his preference would be to spend the off-season plugging minor holes rather than blowing this team up and that he would like to start next season with Bargnani, Bosh, Marion,…
