Post-Game
Shorthanded Raptors compete, win
Persistence pays off. A night before in Chicago the Raptors gave a performance which was deserving of a win if it hadn't been for the high quality of the opponent. A night later at home against Orlando, they repeated the performance and this time around the Magic succumbed to the Raptors' decisive commitment to organized…
Shorthanded Raptors compete, lose
The Raptors proved to be tough nuts to crack against Chicago for the second straight game. The Raptors lucked out by missing two starters in Andrea Bargnani and Jose Calderon (Oh no he didn't!), as it put the motivated duo of Ed Davis and Jerryd Bayless into the lineup.
Raptors lose to Bucks, special night for Sonny
How do you shoot 63% in the first quarter and within a minute into the second are down one? Very carefully.
Julian Wright approves this message
I’ve penned enough tirades this year about Bargnani, but not after this game. I mean it’s hard to get a rebound when the other team doesn’t miss. It’s hard to get a rebound when the game is called BASKET-ball, not REBOUND-ball. It’s hard to get a rebound when you know that nothing will change if…
Raptors come close in Phoenix, good enough

Raptors throw down the gauntlet, humble Thunder
A more complete 48 minutes have never been played by a Jay Triano coached team.
Raptors almost halt Wizards tank command
After a game like this, I don't know whether I should have serious doubts about this "core" that the Toronto Raptors have, or if the deficiencies in all other areas are really that bad. Like Rebecca Black bad.
No Defense, No W; Missing Person Alert for Julian Wright
The only time the Raptors seem to be able to defend anything is when they go in the zone, unfortunately that's not a viable strategy for 48 minutes because teams adapt to the zone and figure out a way to beat it after a few possessions.
Bobcats Down Raptors, Nothing to See Here
I suppose Reggie Evans can’t do it all himself. He had yet another heroic performance on the boards, but the Raptors were otherwise fairly impotent in a 95-90 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.
Raptors serve a Brazilian buffet
You ever been to Copacabana? There’s a couple of locations in Toronto, one nicely situated in Niagara Falls right by the casino. A lot of you probably knew this, but they serve a buffet in the evening, which my party was unaware of. Perhaps if we had known it was $40 a pop it would…
