Game Analysis
Soft Raptors Repeatedly Climb Close, Fall Again
After watching the Raptors get outplayed by a tired Golden State Warriors team on the back end of a road back-to-back, I’m left only with a truth I knew to be so before this game, and even before this season, started. The Raptors are not a very good basketball team right now, and they are…
Gameday: Raptors vs Warriors – Nov. 8/10
After putting up a big fat donut after four pretty tough games out West, the Raptors return home to face the Warriors in a game that folks wil be anxious about who’s on the other team: Stephen Curry. I really love this kid, and that sentiment is shared by many of you. We miss him…
Streak’s Alive, Raps Hopes Not So Much
So the road trip ended the way most of us expected, but the Raps put up a good fight, you could argue, in each and every one of the four games. Even the Chris Bosh versions didn't fare this well, or maybe thats what we'd all like to believe.
Gameday: Raptors vs Blazers – Nov. 6/10
It’s been incremental, but there has been improvement in this team as the season progresses. We’re not going to morph into some serious playoff team that will be a pest come the post-season, but things are happening. Also, I should have had Evans dressed at PF in my fantasy league instead of Odom, but the…
Moral victories are for losers
Taking the defending champs to the final possessions of a game is worthy of applause so let me applaud: clap clap clap, clap clap. OK, that warm fuzzy feeling of keeping it close has worn off and instead the rotten stench of defeat has set in.
Gameday: Raptors vs Lakers – Nov. 5/10
The Game Thread in the RR Forums Every year, this team has some sort of built in excuse that stirs debate among us about what to really expect/feel about this team. Taking care of business has been a big problem for the Raptors over the last couple seasons. Had they beaten the Knicks and Kings…
Raps play strong quarter, needed to play four
Everyone knew this was going to be a tough road trip for our hometown heroes, but, at least for one quarter in the past two games including last night, they provided a glimmer of hope. Not just a good quarter, but a 12 minute stretch of frenetic defense that created turnovers and turned into an…
Gameday: Raptors vs Jazz – Nov 3/11
Meanwhile in Utah...the Raptors have a tough test on the second game of their Western swing.
Raptors lose lead, then composure
Once you get done banging your head against the wall and cursing out everyone who screwed up in that fourth quarter, don't forget that the team did play quite well for a large part of the game. It sucks balls to lose a game like that, you know, being up 17 and giving it back…
Gameday: Raptors vs Kings – Nov. 1/11
Raptors start their western swing, with the first of four on the road in Sacramento against the Kings.
Raptors cut it close, secure pizza
Breathe a sigh of relief because the Raptors have won a game. With four road games against Sacramento, Utah, LA Lakers and Portland on the horizon, the first win of the season could have taken a while.
