A quick one today. Another roller-coaster week, two disappointing losses sandwiched between an expected and an unexpected win. With injuries to Bargnani and Calderon, there was a chance for some reserves to make their mark and Jarrett Jack made the most of the opportunity. Sonny Weems had a nice run against Houston which many of…
Chris Bosh, Patrick O’Bryant for Chris Kaman, Blake Griffin?(poll) This week on The Doctor Is In, we are joined by actor, comedian, and musician Christopher Bond formerly of Tony and Tina’s Wedding, Second City, and the writer and Director of Evil Dead The Musical who helps ring in the holidays! In hot or not we…
I’m here to tell you that the emotional tides you felt last week are perfectly normal. We were all supposed to be absolutely pissed off about the way we played against Washington and Atlanta, and we’re supposed to be happy by the way we won in Washington and Chicago. On Thursday morning there were calls…
Bosh for Boozer and 2010 1st rounder (NY’s unprotected pick)(polls) I asked RR for the day off and they said no. Checking in from my bed for the H1N1 edition of The Doctor Is In, we FREAK out! In hot or not, we look at Chris Bosh and Jarrett Jack and in the hugely popular…
That was a forgettable week in every sense. You could see the Boston and Phoenix defeats coming, but the shellacking in Charlotte wasn’t exactly on the horizon when this segment was written last week. The scoring differential for the week was -14 and we gave up 114.25 points per game. Our defensive rating went down…
Bosh for Yao?(surveys) This week in The Doctor Is In we look at the benefits of bringing AI to TO. Both Marco Belinelli and Coach Triano get the 3rd degree in “hot or not” and we wonder what it would take to send Chris Bosh home. You can click the play button below or listen…
Not a good week for the club, we got clobbered in Denver and then put up little resistance against the Jazz with the defense going from bad to worse. We gave up 108.25 points per game and our league-worst defensive rating went further down a couple notches to 116.4. Thankfully Miami came to town and…
If you want to catch-up on the game tonight, check the uber pre-game thread. This week in The Doctor Is In, I look at the *new* defensive schemes of the Triano regime and their effectiveness 10 games into the season. Newcomer Hedo Turkoglu and returning Raptor Jose Calderon have their games deconstructed in “hot or…
Every Wednesday I check in on the more subtle aspects of the Raptors and NBA. This week in The Doctor Is In we examine the importance of drafting first overall and the future prospects of Andrea Bargnani, give shout-outs to new and returning Raptors in the weekly game of “hot or not”. We also check…
It’s very early but anybody a bit shocked at our 28th place defensive rating? That’s points per 100 possessions allowed. The new poll begs for your opinion on whether the issue is chemistry, laziness, inability or strategy. So far I’d classify it as the inability to execute the strategy. This leads into the question whether…
Doug Smith was there, he can tell you a lot more. Did a super-quick podcast with Nicole Cartier, the Associate Producer for the Timberwolves broadcast team. Have a listen: [audio:http://raptorsrepublic.com/audio/2009-10-23-NicoleCartier.mp3] According to the box-score Bosh took full advantage of Al Jefferson’s absence and had himself a monster game.
Anybody else sick of these douchebags laughing it up every time? Raptors 90, C**tics 106 – Box Well, that offense sure looked like it hadn’t been practicing much. A third quarter filled with a barrage of bad shots and defensive mistakes pegged the Raptors back as they dropped another one to their hated rivals who…
