Grab the Tip-Off: Young Buck Edition. Home sweet home. After splitting a pair of games on the road, the Raptors host the Grizzlies at the ACC. I have a vested interest in this game as my countrymen Hamed Haddadi, the first Iranian born player, is sitting on Memphis’ bench. The kid had a serious Olympics,…
Grab the Opening Tip: Felon Edition. No Arenas. No Mason. No Stevenson. 7-25 on the season. 3-7 in their last 10. 2nd night of a back-to-back. Worst team in the East. Second worst in the league. The Ugliest uniforms in pro sports…do you see where I’m going with this? Raptors have a shot at salvaging…
Bucks 107 – Raptors 97 These Raptor losses almost write themselves: 1st Quarter – Raptors get out to an early lead by sharing the ball, moving it around, nice defense rotations and quality shooting from the floor. 2nd Quarter – The fire that drove the 1st quarter starts to fade. It’s a slow creeping fade,…
Yeah, the economy’s crap. Jobs are being cut across the board. 50,000 students are being screwed. We’re smack in the belly of another snowy, frostbitten winter. Our girlfriends are looking less tanned, less toned, and are growing less patient with our TV monopolization. We keep sprouting hairs where no hair should grow. And sure, we’ve won…
Howard’s second foul was key in the Raptors’ great first quarter. Magic 102, Raptors 108 Sorry for the lateness of this post-game, but after the Raptors notched their second quality win of the season (second of 2009, both without JO…), Realizar, Arsenalist, Dinosty and me went to Philthy’s to celebrate, a drink led to a…
Adams – get a sleeve for the other arm. Bargnani – start shooting left handed. Bosh – get the hell out. Calderon – pass out Red Bull’s at half-time. Colangelo – hire Messina. Gheradini – get monogrammed cuff-links. Graham – tie my shoelaces with a double knot. Humphries – tea bag Voshkul. Jawai – start…
This game was definitely worth staying up to watch. The Warriors play exciting ball even without Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette. What are you going to do right? At least this road-trip is over, with the Raptors going 2-4. Could be worse, I had them pegged at finishing this road swing 1-5. Arse made a…
I’m not mad/upset/disgusted/disappointed/etc at the loss tonight. Sure Vegas had the Raptors as 8 point underdogs, but anyone with any sense wouldn’t bet on the Raptors unless they are playing the bottom of the barrel teams in the league. The fact of the matter is that the Blazers are a top echelon team, and the…
Baron Davis might be the luckiest man on Earth, according to today’s Opening Tip. ********** Let’s continue the discussion PhDSteve left off on yesterday. 10 -17. .357 win %. 15 games behind the division leader. 3 games out of the final playoff spot. 5 losses in a row. When I was a kid, I loved sticker…
The Raptors (10-17) lose 107-97 against the Spurs (16-10) You really can’t expect much when you role into the Spurs house, and they are healthy. The road to championship in the West still leads through them, and the House that Popovich designed and Duncan built is still the standard of excellence in the NBA. Forgive…
