Ask Jack!

I’m going to be talking to Jack Armstrong on Thursday and thought instead of asking him the same old lame questions which he answers every day I’d let you guys do the asking. You’ll probably come up with better questions anyway, so go ahead and fire away questions for Jack: Here’s some classic Jack: Vid…

SAS: Bosh tells Colangelo he will not re-sign, trade discussions ongoing

Update: Bosh Denial :: Colangelo Denial ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith is reporting that Chris Bosh has told Bryan Colangelo that he is not interested in remaining in Toronto. Apparently Miami is very interested and so is Dallas. I’m not too shocked by this rumour, he appears to have checked out of late and is…

Quick Hits: Salmons, Team Payroll, Jalen Rose

O’Neal Trade: We found out a couple things yesterday, one of them was that somebody actually values Jamario Moon. That somebody being Pat Riley who is apparently insisting that Moon be part of the package that would send Marion to Toronto. I have no problem with that. Other reports insist that Miami is also asking…

Goals and the Summer of ’09

The goal of the season should be to off-load O’Neal to free up cap space and play the free agent market this summer in hopes of satisfying Bosh’s craving for winning. – Arsenalist   It’s good to have goals. They drive you. They’re the  bulls-eye just over the horizon. Small goals, big goals, short-term goals,…

Raptors 9th in NBA total attendance

Despite all the losing this year, the Raptors are 9th in total attendance and are only surpassed by Detroit, Chicago, Portland, Dallas, Utah, Cleveland, New York and LA. We’re a step ahead of Golden State who are the self-proclaimed “best fans in the league”. As you can see below, the last few years we’ve fared…

What’s Colangelo thinking?

I wonder if he’s lying in bed, his wife reading silently under her lamp, worrying about adding an eighth straight tomorrow night. I wonder if he’s on his treadmill, Bluetooth headset in, hopeful that Riley will return his third message.  I wonder if he’s eating a late dinner, being chatty with the waiter, reminding him…

What do the Raptors and Denny’s have in common?

Neither close. Ever. I was at work so I missed the game, but when someone came by my desk to tell me we were down by a point in the final minute, I already knew it. I didn’t need to watch or turn on the radio to know that Kapono was going to swing the…

Season can still be saved, says Eric Smith to RR

It was another tough loss to swallow for Raptors fans. After ANOTHER lack luster showing versus the lowly Pacers for three quarters, the boys came up short in a game they not only needed to win, but should have – especially after a hard fought 4th quarter comeback. As a side note, imagine what this…

Look at that, Jermaine O’Neal’s a reasonable guy

And I quote from his post-practice interview: I told the coach today, I’m going to come off the bench and work my way back into it. He’s earned the right to stay in the starting lineup. I have no ego. I’ve been out for nine games, I don’t deserve the right to come back and…
