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…
We’d like to thank Birdman – a true YouTube talent – for making us a little Raptors highlight mix. Technically speaking, there haven’t been many highlights this season but that hasn’t stopped his creative juices from spilling out:
It’s Friday, and I know you ain’t got no job, you ain’t got sh*t to do, so: 1) Of the final 20 games on the schedule, which one (if any) are you most looking forward to watching? 2) Which former Raptor currently on a playoff team do you think will make the most impact come…
Spill…. 1) What is your opinion of Matt Devlin? 2) Fantasy time. If the league were to institute a “franchise player” rule in that you could label one player as such and be able to sign him to a 6 year deal with his salary not applying to the cap, who would you pick and…
All hands on deck! One of the most annoying and frustrating aspects of this season for me has to be the defense – or lack thereof – we’ve played. Our inability to defend key sets and correct our defensive mistakes has resulted in us becoming a habitually bad defensive team which often makes us painful…
Give ‘er… 1) Give us your best guess as to what Maurizio Gherardini does in a typical work day. 2) Obviously the biggest surprise about this season, for most, has been the dismal record. Taking that out of the equation, give us one good thing that surprised you about the Raptors this season and one…
We’re always trying to come up with ways to make this site a little more interesting and beneficial for the readers and rappers. Our latest effort involves offering you below-cost Raptors tickets, we had hoped to get this deal done much earlier in the season when the games mattered a little more but better late…
Let loose…. 1) What do you see as the primary need for this team heading into next year? The one thing BC just has to address. 2) What is your take on Triano’s in-game outbursts? Beneficial to the team or over the top? 3) We can’t send Roko to the D since we are so…
Give us your thoughts… 1) Think it is worth it to bring in a coach that specializes in big men? Much like the Magic did with Ewing, do you think bringing in someone focused just on our bigs would help Andrea, Chris, etc improve aspects of their game? 2) If Bryan stays the course and…
Jay Triano: Sam Mitchell was fired when the Raptors were 8-9, Triano’s record with the team is 15-27. If Colangelo in his heart of hearts still believes that this is the best Raptor team he has ever assembled then the decision come off-season should be straightforward. Even though Triano didn’t have the luxury of having…
Time to poll the Republic… 1) Is Triano’s system finally clicking or are the past two victories merely representative of the opposition? 2) No change in Raptors ticket prices for next year. Good business model? Is this in answer to their critics or do you think they feel they have hit a wall with respect…
Those who know me know one thing: I’m all about keepin’ it real. So let’s be realistic. I had hoped to write a column today about how the Raptors had been reborn: Jay Triano had been fired and replaced by Eddie Jordan or Avery Johnson. O’Neal and Moon had been transformed in Shawn Marion. Roko…
