Fifty-two games into the season, just how predictable and monotonous have the 14-38 Toronto Raptors become? Well, as I started writing my post-game report for tonight's ugly 92-74 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, it all felt a little familiar.
Fret not Kyrie-lovers, this minor setback will do little in stopping the Raptors' charge towards the top of the lottery.
To be painfully honest with you folks, if you're looking for change, a nice long double-digit losing has an interesting way of prompting reaction, even if that's just from the fan faithful at the moment.
This is getting to be ri-goddam-diculous. I certainly have no right to be hoping for victories from a 13-35 team, and in general I don’t, but to get as unlucky covering games as I have is a bit much. Yes, the Raptors fell to 13-36 after a 104-93 loss to Indiana, but just as importantly…
There's not much to analyze in this game and even if there was, I don't want to because of the big elephant in the room, who I will get to very shortly, worry not.
Two things I do without fail before I go to bed: Feed my pet cheetah and check Kevin Love's line.
Hang on, I'm searching through this book called "Basketball School of Thoughts" and am trying to see what they say about the options when you're down three with 32 seconds to go and the opposition has the ball.
Rebuilding or not, injuries or no injuries, it's disappointing to lose and you'd think that as a Raptors fan you'd be used to it by now, but it still stings. It does sting a little less because of the 1000mg rebuilding pill which we all take daily (side-effects include nausea, shortness of breath and a…
987 games ago, Vince Carter hit a three. It was February 26, 1999. The opponent was Minnesota. It was at 7:43 of the first quarter. At the time, I was only 12 and not really watching basketball, but I can safely assume everyone thought it was a run-of-the-mill three point field goal.
With the Heat lacking two of the three Heatles, we were treated to a reminder of what Pre-Decision LeBron looked like. It was a thoroughly dominating and exciting performance to watch; a true reminder of what the best player in the world looks like when he turns it up to that gear that so few…
What the f*** you gonna do? You’re a young rebuilding team that walks in to a championship contender’s home court and they practically emasculate you with their experience, skill, strength and effort. I’m ok with all of that, except for the effort part.
It looked for a while like this could be a repeat of the Dallas game where the short-handed Raptors go to one of the big boys' house and pull off an improbably win. Taking the 0-10 start out of the equation means the Raptors dominated the first half before crumbling in the third quarter where…
