Very disappointed in our PGs, not because they got torched by Russell Westbrook - that was to be expected - but because of their inability to control the tempo of the game. We don't want to go up and down the court with a team like OKC, nobody does, but some measure of control needs…
We had a chance to win it right at the end but Triano made the same mistake he made in Phoenix - clearing out for Turkoglu in a set with no movement. Just like Phoenix, the result was a massive brick which burst our bubble and ruined an otherwise acceptable performance (at least offensively).
The Raptors drop a home game to the Blazers 101-87. Fortunately the countries attention was on the mens Olympic hockey team 7-3 win over Russia.
I was already thinking of all the possible Maple Leaf Saturday Night Hockey references as this game started slipping away from the Raps in the 4th, but thankfully Jay Triano finally inserted Jarret Jack back into the game with 6 minutes to go.
Little used Rasho Nesterovic paces the Raptors to a 106-89 win over the Nets with 16pts 7rebs 4ast.
The Raptors drop the first game back from the All-Star break to the Grizzlies 109-102 in overtime.
A 23 point lead evaporated while the arena was chanting for Reggie Evans to check back into the game; but the Raptors withstood a furious rally from the Sixers to win the last game of the 'first' half of the season. It was a game of runs; Toronto had two to take the lead, and…
Always been wary of Sunday games for the exact reason they're talked about as an advantage for us. Instead of being an extra step quick, we're usually a step slow and leave it for the second half to make up for our first half indolence.
It wasn't the thumping that we were hoping see after the Indiana loss, but it was a win on a back-to-back which are hard to come by and should be accepted without complaint. We'll take the W, rest for three days and prepare for Sacramento on Sunday.
The first minute of this game was a microcosm of the whole 48. The Raptors sticking to the perimeter and the Pacers going inside. Sure, both teams got off to hot starts but the difference was that the Pacers did it in a way which they could sustain for the rest of the night, and…
The Raptors notched another confidence-building, team-bonding, towel-waving win in the stretch of very winnable games, disposing of the Indiana Pacers 117-102. The Pacers turned out to be a pesty opponent, one that seemed to be improved from earlier battles with a healthy Mike Dunleavy and a pine-riding TJ Ford. But this Rap team has become…
The script played out the same as the Heat/Laker games: spot them a lead, claw back, hang around, pounce like tiger, win game. All the while, your defense making timely stops at crucial points to give you a chance. Jay. Hedo. Ball. Stat. I've been one of his worst critics, but when our boy puts…
