Krypto-Nate is in the House. Anyone else lifting their eyebrows after the moves the Knicks made? Donnie Walsh divined Malik Rose, Tim Thomas, Jerome James, Anthony Roberson and some cash into Chris Wilcox and Larry Hughes. That’s what a great GM does, he turns useless pieces into better ones that can contribute now without impacting…
Careful Chris, don’t want to injure that mouth. Cavaliers 93, Raptors 76 As unlikely as a playoff spot is, I’m still looking forward to this bunch at least try and make a push to prove that they’re more than a collection of overrated misfits and underachievers. The trade has breathed a little purpose into the…
The reinforcements have arrived! Wake up, Raptors fans, Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks have come from the Sunshine State to revitalize the franchise and help us on our playoff push! Thank you, Commander Colangelo! Our divine march into March begins tonight against the Cavs. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see it (unless you have…
You can’t hold me down! Spurs 89, Raptors 91 Roko Ukic: Clutch scoring personified. Does it sound insane? Yes, but for one night it was true. A total team effort had kept the game close till midway through the fourth and that’s when gut-check time came, usually these Raptors fold like a cheap deck of…
Joey, another reason to thank Rob Babcock. Raptors 110, T’Wolves 102 Pinch-hitting for Raps Fan who feels like crap this morning for some reason so if you’re his fan, sorry to disappoint. This was one of those games which you casually watch without paying much attention to the details, after all it is Minnesota and…
The Raps have just two more games before the annual NBA weekend reprieve for the disappointing and the mediocre. Coming into this game, the TWolves aren’t even done grieving about losing Big Al “The Ladies Pal” Jefferson for the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. Tonight, it is seriously…
I hate mayo. That’s my big food phobia. It’s no secret, everyone who knows me knows I’m irrationally disgusted/fearful of the goopy, congealed, smelly grossness. The thought of it makes me cringe. It’s to the point where I won’t take the jar out of the fridge – that’s if I allowed it in my refrigerator. I’d…
Moon trying to do stuff against Peja…didn’t work out well. Hornets 101, Raptors 92 In a game with no Tyson Chandler, no MP3 downloads, CB4, no CP3, no C3PO, no R2D2, or CLR, no CCR, and thanks to Rogers, no HDTV or PVR, the Raptors lose 92-101 to the Hornets. The Raps allowed the home…
Kobe’s fadeaway is the most unstoppable shot in basketball. Lakers 115, Raptors 107 Let’s examine the checklist: Played hard. Check. Attacked the rim. Check. Get the W. Not so check but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. In a season mired with disappointments and letdowns a hard fought loss to the Lakers seems like a…
In awe of the King. Cavs 101, Raptors 83 Was I the only one embarrassed when the Raptors started the game showing zone? Or when Lebron dunked twice against a zone defense? Or when Szczerbiak hit 2 of his first 3 treys (the guy doesn’t jump, and it’s not like he’s a threat to drive…
It goes without saying we match up horribly against this team. Truly, they drink our milkshake. Our defense can’t handle their star, their post players, or their shooters. Our offense can’t handle their team defense. Our fragile psyche can’t handle their stoic discipline. But it IS always fun watching Lebron the Incredible and his merry men…
Lord have mercy! Magic 113, Raptors 90 Chris Bosh is far from the only reason why the Magic ran us over but you have to start with him because he is the supposed leader of the team and someone who others look towards when finding their own personal motivations. He’s supposed to symbolize toughness, hard-work…
