1) Pritchard, for reasons unknown, comes calling with a straight up trade of Oden for Bargnani. Do you make it? 2) What do you think this big announcement Chris Bosh has been advertising for June 1st will be? How disappointed do you think we will be? 3) Who’s got the Magic tonight? Who’s got the…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
The Reebok Eurocamp is a three day event which takes place each June in Treviso, Italy. One of the organizers of the camp is Michele Gherardini, son of Maurizio Gherardini. This year’s roster is supposed to be the best in five years and includes the following players. Brandon Jennings, who is still playing his season…
Here are the players that have worked out for the Raptors so far: Tyrese Rice, Senior G, 6′ 1″ 190lbs, Boston College: Interview :: DX Jeff Pendergraph, Senior F, 6′ 9″ 240lbs, Arizona State: Interview :: DX Byron Eaton, Senior PG, 5′ 11″ 210lbs, Oklahoma State: DX Terrence Williams, Senior F, 6′ 6″ 215lbs, Louisville:…
Colangelo might be right. Triano may be the best coach out there for this team. As Colangelo and his staff went through the options of who might be the head coach next season, they apparently all came to the same conclusion: there was really no better option. “It always kept coming back to Jay Triano”,…
Three year deal – but with an option! Either Colangelo’s honestly bought into whatever Triano’s trying to do or he’s financially constricted and forced into making this move. I find it odd that the great Colangelo has put his money on a coach that he didn’t even come close to considering two years ago when…
Watching these playoffs you come to realize just how important it is to have a mean streak about your team. People either overrate or underrate this intangible but one thing is for sure: you can’t deny its not important. Skill will always be weighted more heavily but as we look at the Rockets and Artest/Scola,…
People who play songs on their crappy mobile phone speakers when riding public transportation need to be kicked right in the jaw. It’s one thing to carry around a boom box if you live on a block that throws block parties, entirely another when you’re bothering a 70 year old on the TTC with your…
