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…

AltRaps 3 Point Shot

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…

AltRaps 3 Point Shot

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…

Quick Hits: Triano needs to go, Marion is good news, Roko/Jawai development

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…

AltRaps’ 3 Point Shot

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…

Expectations, The Draft, and Keeping it Real

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…

Bargnani’s Little Big Planet

When he’s not not shaving or eating a spicy meatball, Andrea Bargnani likes to play games that he can actually win once in a while. Anyone play this game? Thoughts?

Raptors disappoint as trade deadline passes

Remember our three off-season acquisitions which Colangelo insisted made up the best Raptor team he’s built? Jermaine O’Neal, Hassan Adams and Will Solomon are all off the roster as Colangelo’s officially gone 0-3 for the summer. Nice job guy. I was expecting Anthony Parker to be moved and the only reason that I can think…

Will Solomon traded for Patrick O’Bryant

From ESPN: In a three-way trade, Sacramento gets Will Solomon from Toronto … Toronto gets Patrick O’Bryant from Boston … and Boston gets a heavily-protected conditional second-round pick from Sacramento. From The National Post: The Raptors acquired little-used centre Patrick O’Bryant from Boston in exchange for their little-used point guard Will Solomon. Boston will then…

Is it Wednesday yet?

It’s a damn slow day, I was hoping for a press conference with Bryan Colangelo introducing Marion and Marcus Banks but Eric Smith says don’t bank on it (Update: he’s wrong). I haven’t a heard a single word out of Marion about this trade and either he’s refusing to talk about it and drowning himself…

The Lane Violation Dunk

Kapono shoots as Lewis and Mason search for the quarter. First up, very disappointing to see Jason Kapono throw up a 14 in the finals of the three-point contest. He was the only pure shooter in the competition and for him to lose to a cast that didn’t even crack 20 is a shame. I’m…
