Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

With so much drama in the MLSE…

…It’s kinda hard to be a Raptors fan like me. If the Raptors are my girlfriend, the object of my affection and the one that makes my heart flutter like a pair of folded hole cards, the MLSE is her asshole father (Not mine, John’s a great guy, but you get it.) Even if you…

Some PG #2 stuff and the Raptors mascot

It would be sadly ironic if Jose Calderon misses tomorrow’s Heat game and we would start Will Solomon at the point. It would mark a complete 180 degree turn from the situation of only a year ago when the Raptors main advantage over any opponent in the league was the starting point guard situation. The…

TSN2, Hollinger, Bosh and other off-day banter

You could say the good news about Jose Calderon’s injury is that we’re playing the Heat next and if need be he could be rested a bit more. But seeing how they’re 4-4 just like us, I don’t see this being an easy matchup, especially with Marion and Wade around. He had an MRI on…

Jose Update

Direct from the man himself: This afternoon I received the results of the MRI that was carried out this mourning, after the game against Philadelphia. There is a small injury that will require follow up daily to see how it evolves. It is too early to know if I can play the next game but…

Supporter or Fan?

A long time ago, I used to sign my forum/newsgroup posts with “RFFL” which stood for Raptors Fan For Life, something I stole after seeing Mark Cuban’s license plate (MFFL).  A few years ago, after being embarrassed by the actions of “fans”, basically doing whatever the media told them to do (Vince Carter? Boooo…Antonio Davis…

Introducing the Line-O-Meter

OK, you’re probably sick of us plugging the Stat-O-Meter all the time so I thought we’d create another, simpler tool which everybody can find a use for, not just stat-addicts. I made a new little tool which answers questions that I always ask How is a player doing in a certain stretch? For example, What’s…

One more day till Gameday

Iverson to Detroit for Billups and McDyess. I just don’t see what it adds for Denver except maybe instead of getting knocked out of the first round as the 8th seed they’ll get knocked out of the first round as the 6th seed. The impact on Detroit is two-fold. It improves their scoring and in…

Clever Mitchell’s shortening lineup to avoid early dismissal

Sam Mitchell doesn’t want to get fired. To ensure that he doesn’t get fired he’s trying his best to get off to a good start since this is the most vulnerable time for him. If the Raptors come out of the gates slow there’s a good chance that Colangelo won’t stand for it and look…

Dear Sam Mitchell, Love Kris Humphries

Dear Coach Sam Mitchell, GR8 GAME LAST NITE!! Hard fought victory on the road, one of those “character” wins you’re always talking about. It looked like a real good time from the bench. So…speaking of that…good three games and all…and I ‘preciate that you’re the coach…but I gotta ask: what’s up with my minutes? You’re…
