Top Ten Reasons Chris Bosh Will Re-sign

The boys at the home office in Athabasca, Alberta have just faxed this in. The category is Top Ten Reasons Chris Bosh will re-sign with the Raptors. Money! Raptors will refuse to pull a sign-and-trade forcing Bosh to get his deal in T.O. MuchMusic will always be glad to have him on, MTV would be…

Hi Alvin

Hey Alvin, It’s nice to see you back with the Raptors. I’m glad Colangelo’s rewarding you with an assistant coach’s position for the service you’ve rendered this organization. You were always one of my favorite players, not because you were anything all-star but because you played hard. Still remember that game-icing Game 5 jumper in…

Mock Draft – Lottery Edition

#1 – LA Clippers. Blake Griffin. Only because it’s the safest choice and nobody will blame them even if Griffin turns out to be a bust. After Olowakandi the Clippers will never reach for anything again. Ever. This is a clear-cut pick, a lot like Portland and Greg Oden. Sometimes the #1 pick is a…

Raps Fan’s 3 Point Shot

Watching the Nuggets with the Raptors in mind

As the playoffs continue and team after team falls by the wayside, the cream slowly rises to the top which gives us a better and better view of the wide gulf between our team of choice and those still playing basketball. Take the Nuggets as an example, when you compare their build and composition to…

AltRaps’ 3-point Shot

Tell us… 1) Draft comes and goes and we grab a big and a back up PG. What do you do with Anthony Parker? 2) You call Denver and they say Kleiza can be had in a sign & trade. What do you offer back? 3) Stern calls and says we can have an All-Star…

What happened to the NBA I loved?

I’m not a purist, far from it, but I still mind it when people start playing fast and loose with the ever-changing rules of this game. It’s gotten to the point where it doesn’t even register with the brain when you see three steps before a layup, it’s like that’s how its always been and…

What we know about the draft (and then all the speculation)

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.…

Rogers reaches deal with TSN2

Finally, it happened. Raptor fans missing half the season wasn’t a good enough reason but the Blue Jays vs Red Sox series was. It tells you how far Rogers is willing to go to promote their own product and also serves as a reminder of how MLSE did nothing to speed up the process of…
