One of the things that stood out against Philadelphia were the Raptors' 26 fastbreak points. Many of the points were the result of a convenient rebound combined with an aggressive mentality to run. We examine two such instances.
There's nothing to complain about. It's an odd feeling for a Raptors fan, or even a Toronto sports fan. The team's rising in the standings, coming together as a unit defensively, playing the offensive team basketball that we all hoped to see in pre-season and even getting some attention down south. The "fire the coach"…
If Bosh walks this summer without a S&T or we get limited value back in return, how much of the blame should Colangelo shoulder? Or do you blame Bosh for turning his back on the franchise?
Colangelo's labeled the Raptors as "buyers" this trade deadline but what exactly he's buying is anybody's guess. It could be a tweak for salary cap reasons or it could be a mini-overhaul of a position, the rumour mill has us interested in Josh Howard, a player that was mentioned last year around this time. You…
We break down the key offensive and defensive play of the Knicks game: Bosh scoring on a face-up and Jarrett Jack drawing the charge.
Triano on the significance of the game: As we say in Canada, or in hockey, it’s one of those four-pointers. It’s two you get and two they don’t. It has a little bit more value than even the Lakers game.
Here's a play against the Bucks which relies heavily on timing and three players being on the same page. It is executed to perfection.
Let’s hear from the Republic: 1) Pretty much in agreement that Hedo has been disappointing. Assuming he isn’t moved by the deadline, what do you do with him? Continue to start? Bring him off the bench? Shrink his minutes? 2) We all also agree that the Hedo commercial is horrible. Now it is your turn…
Up next in the scouting reports we look at the rookie who hasn’t seen a single play called for him and gets mysteriously benched despite having decent showings. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 7.8pts and 2.8rebs in 20 minutes and isn’t exactly on top of any rookie leaderboards. The only stat that he’s making a mark…
Doug Smith just reported that the Raptors have placed Pops Mensah-Bonsu on waivers. They apparently will try to sign him back to a 10-day contract if he clears waivers, but that doesn’t look like it will happen. You have to figure with Evans coming back at some point, and the need for another point guard,…
