No matter where you stand on the optimist-pessimist spectrum one thing is undeniable: so far this season has been a massive disappointment. If you were wise enough to predict what has transpired so far, good for you, you’ve earned a right to say, “I’ve told you so”, just don’t rub it in every time. If…
There is a pattern developing here. First the Raptors come out like gangbusters- shoot the ball with a high percentage, pound the ball inside with success, and put the boot to top flight teams: Portland, NJ, Dallas, even Boston. Next, the team begins to build some confidence. And lastly, they begin to jack up shots…
We’re in the spirit of giving here at Raptors Republic and this time its two tickets to watch Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard go at it on January 4th, 2009. To enter the contest all you need to do is post something in this thread, here are a few suggestions: A Raptors prediction for the…
OK, its not really that bad- but at the present moment things are not looking good in Raptorland. So, fellow citizens of the Raptors Republic, lets sit back and try to get a little bit of perspective here. You see, Ive had enough of people complaining about how bad this team is (and this includes…
Sorry for the late post, but I just found a stream for tonight’s game: CLICK HERE FOR STREAM ANOTHER STREAM The guy running the feed is kind of whacked (keeps interrupting with gay musical interludes) but I’ll keep looking for a better one. Free Ukic
Its official, I need help. Serious, professional, help. My problem is simple: as bad as this team plays, as horrible as the GM is, and as much as I swore I would never love another bad team after three decades of being a Red Sox fan (pre 2004)…I still get excited when Joey Graham shows…
First off, a big shout out to all the members of the Raptors Republic. Its great to be on board and I look forward to giving a voice to angry Raptors’ fans everywhere- each and every week! For starters, I’d like to revisit a couple of ideas that I have been writing about for the…
An interesting comment, and some proceeding ones, about winning and profitability sparked my interest. This has been something I always have thought about. Fortunately, Forbes listed their NBA team valuation list, which included profitability. Some really interesting things came up, reaffirming what many Raptor Fans have known/suspected for years: WINNING DOES NOT EQUAL PROFITABILITY!
Jay Triano is the interim coach. Sportsnet Link. I knew it was a done deal when Doug Smith bravely said that Sam’s job is “very safe”. The players should feel real shitty after this move. The Denver loss was the straw that broke the camel’s back and it was ultimately the players who got their…
…Barack Obama will have cured poverty, racism, and hiccups. You’ll be able to drive to work in your cell phone. People will still be waiting for “Darko’s breakout year.” And Raptors fans will be holding their breath in hopes that Chris Bosh, their future Hall of Famer, decides to “keep it Canuck” and sign a…
No O’Neal and a banged up Calderon against some quick guards. Should be fun. I’ll be in the chat around 7:45 PM EST, see you then. Live Stream: http://www.justin.tv/burgers4everyone/popout Raps win!!
These are tough times, team’s not playing well, the injuries are piling up, the defense isn’t there and worst of all a potentially humbling West coast trip is lurking in the shadows. They say you have to hit rock-bottom before you can start to rise and I think we officially did that this weekend. The…
