Toronto Raptors 99, Dallas Mavericks 105 If you had any doubt whatsoever that we weren’t going to blow that 24 point lead at some point during the game you probably haven’t been a Raptors fan for too long. That first quarter was just too good to be true and too similar to last year’s game…
After three consecutive Raptors turnovers and Josh Howard free throws… 61-59 Raptors. I blame the poultry.
Seconds after Chris Bosh just posterized Dirk… and minutes after Bargnani just hit his fourth three….wow. 42-21 Raptors. Either my bbq chicken was laced…or…. But shhh. Game isn’t over yet. (Still…wow.)
From today’s Toronto Star: “It would be nice if I didn’t have to point (everything) out all the time, if they’d do it for each other,” said the coach. “Right now I’m the guy who has to push. They need to learn to push each other.”It’s debatable whether the players are precisely sure what Mitchell…
Despite the disappointing result of yesterday’s game, one thing should be put to rest. That’s right, get ready for a Jamario Moon Lovefest! (cue theme music) As far as I’m concerned, the debate over who’s starting at the 3 spot is a closed case, at least for the foreseeable future. No one would have predicted…
Golden State Warriors 106, Toronto Raptors 100 So much for the 10AM PST start time and so much for the Warriors blowing big leads and so much for Baron Davis having a bad game and so much for the Raptors getting any shot they want against the much maligned Warriors defense. It all amounts to…
Indiana Pacers 101, Toronto Raptors 110 Technically this wasn’t a must-win game but if we would’ve lost tonight, massive alarm bells would’ve gone off, after all you can’t allow the Pacers to snap their five game losing streak on your home floor. So the Raps dug deep, did enough good things on the floor to…
Going into two very winnable games at home. But apparently ‘winnable’ and ‘win’ have less in common than I thought. Apparently the Raptors, like many men, just can’t seem to win at home. Tonight, we set our sights on the Pacers. After their 3-0 start, The Indiana Irrelevants have lost six straight, re-aligning the cosmos…
You know those once-in-a-lifetime experiences? Well, I had the great fortune of attending the Raptors/Jazz game last night in the company of none other than Sam Mitchell*. Since he wasn’t coaching, he had no problem coming to sit in section 104 and converse with me. After all, as he says, ‘the team kind of just…
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…
