Utah Jazz 92, Toronto Raptors 88 Unfortunately for Bosh you can’t take 85% of the game off on the offensive end, show up in the last three minutes and expect to win the game. As for Bargnani, when you’re strictly a jump shooter it’s only natural that there are nights where your jumper isn’t working.…
So, after three full days off to shower Jamario Moon with early MVP accolades, hopefully we found some time to run some practices. Whether we’ll get the Raptors or the Craptors tonight against Utah is more difficult to predict than Sam Mitchell’s substitution patterns. So I’m not going to try. Needless to say this might…
Yeah, I know the overplayed, overhyped radio darling (not Chuck, read on) is bound to find its way into arenas across the NBA. It’s catchy, it’s inoffensive, it’s fan-friendly. A few posts back I made mention of the fact that the Rockets use the same pre-game intro song as we do, Kayne West’s “Stronger“. As…
Toronto Raptors 101, Chicago Bulls 71 What gives with the Raptors? They can blow the shit out of the Bulls in Chicago, lambaste Jersey into oblivion but lose at home to the Magic? All I can say is that all bets are off on what’s going to happen against Utah on Wednesday. Damn confusing to…
Toronto Raptors 105, Philadelphia 76ers 103 For a second there this looked like a weekend-ruiner, you know one of those games the Raps lose on a Friday in soul-squashing fashion to destroy your weekend. Thank God for Bosh recovering to get a key block right after him and TJ were faked out by Andre Miller.…
Check these hoop-related links for November 6th through November 9th: Baron Davis Is Go(o)d – Wow. Boom Dizzle hits the bizzle-beating trizzle. Bill Simmons Plays Pro Ball – If you like him, you’ll probably like this. Gilbert Arenas and Vince Young Spalding commercial… BLOOPERS! – Goofball Gilbert back at it ESPN – Broken NBA Records…
When there’s only one thing a verbose windbag like me (what’re you laughin’ at?) wants to say, you best know he thinks it’s important: We can’t let Kyle Korver or Willie Green beat us. It’s that simple. Please Toronto, close out on their 3-point shooters. With two tough games coming up against Chicago and Utah…
This is what we cheer for, scream at, and – during delicate times – obsess over. Six years later, we could have been the Toronto Shreks. P.S. Eight years later, the Toronto Clownfish.
Orlando Magic 105, Toronto Raptors 96 What do you do when your team has just managed to cut down a 10 point deficit down to 2 with 3:22 left? Change the entire flow of the game by taking out the PG that’s driving the offense. How’s that sound for Coach of the Year type coaching?…
Milwaukee Bucks 112, Toronto Raptors 85 Maybe Bill Simmon isn’t out of his mind to pick the Bucks to make the playoffs and the Raptors to miss them, tonight’s display in Milwaukee was about as bad as any blowout played in the old Skydome. The only difference being that back then we had an excuse…
Tonight is widely tagged across Raptors Nation as a ‘bounce back’ game. The Bucks look decent on paper, with improving racist Andrew Bogut, greedy rookie Yi Jianlian, underrated Mo Williams, and now that Paul Pierce has some new friends, the Loneliest Superstar in the NBA, Michael Redd. We’re a much deeper, more balanced, better coached…
Seriously, this was the BEST pic from that photo shoot? Well on the bright side, here’s proof that a photo can simultaneously prevent you from AND get you closer to sexual intercourse.
