Raps Fan’s 3 Point Shot – March 12/09

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…

Top Ten Colangelo excuses for the season

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…

Ariza’s foul on Fernandez: Flagrant or Not?

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).

Raptors as per 82Games.com

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…

Top Ten signs your team isn’t very good

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…

Raptors Highlight Mix

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:

Dinosty’s 3-Point Shot

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…

AltRaps 3 Point Shot – March 5

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…

Raptors defensive issues

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…

AltRaps 3 Point Shot

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…
