I love the internet and the world of blogging. If I write that the Raptors could win 50 games if Colangelo goes out and makes one more move to solidify his bench (as I did after the O’Neal trade) I get labeled a homer and told that I’m part of the problem with fans in…
You just know they tried to get an actual “high-flyer” to rep the contest but when no one would step up, they all looked at each other and said, “Who’d be willing to come on YouTube, read a lame script, and sign a jersey he won’t be wearing at the end of next season? Chris…
Still a few hours left to sign up for RR March Madness Pool. If you are planning on taking a few days off to keep a close eye on who might fall into the Raptors laps this year, let me give you a bit of a breakdown on where to look and who to keep…
The ‘should we burn this mother down’ edition: Even if we got a top 5 pick, are you confident that BryCo will make the right selection? Does anyone really care that 5 of the last 9 games of the season are being shown on TSN2? If I was to organize a raid on the ACC,…
You fill out the bracket. If you win, you come here and brag. If you finish last, you never ever talk about NCAA basketball. Sounds pretty fair to me. It’s an all-inclusive pool so all you need to do is go to the following link. No password is required. Raptors Republic NCAA Tournament Pool You…
I BRINGZ DA PAIN!! Calderon: What the heck is going on? Has he recovered or is he just having a couple good games? Iavaroni is in the house: What can we make of this, if there is anything to be made? Pops: Thoughts, is he playing for a contract or has the kid been slept…
The men and women at the home-office in Athabasca, Alberta are working overtime. The category is Top Ten Prophecies For Next Season. The Raptors will have 4-7 new players and 4-7 new fans. Paper bags will replace jerseys as the best selling merchandise item. MLSE will officially change the meaning of ACC to “Armored Cash…
Is it me, or does Bosh seem more excited to give a weather report then win games? #boshsucks if you are on twitter (we have to call him out, can’t let him get off scott-free!) If Smitch was still the coach, would the Raptors be in the playoff hunt? (do we even care?) Is it…
Faxed in moments ago from the RR home office in Athabasca, Alberta. The category is Top Ten Colangelo excuses for the season. The economy. I gave the extension to one Jose Calderon, not this guy wearing his jersey. Who is he? When I said this is the “best” team I’ve ever assembled, I actually meant…
I don’t think it is. He went for the ball, it’s unfortunate that Rudy fell awkwardly and got injured but doesn’t change the fact that Ariza went for the ball. I don’t know how Blazers Edge comes off making a big deal about it (pure homerism).
We always talk about how the Raptors shoot too many jumpers and how it ends up costing games because over the long run they’re a losing proposition. I did some casual research on 82games.com and checked out the percentages of jumpers and “close” shots that every team shoots. It’s no surprise that 72% of our…
From the RR home office in Athabasca, Alberta, here’s today’s Top Ten List. The category is Top Ten signs your team isn’t very good. Your starting center’s averaging just over 5 rebounds a game and everybody’s OK with it. Most of the city can’t watch more than a third of the games but management doesn’t…
