The first ever Toronto Raptors podcast offers comprehensive analysis of the Toronto Raptors. A diverse set of hosts cover the Raptors and Raptors 905. From post-game reaction, one-on-one player interviews, deep basketball analysis to live streams, the Rapcast covers it all.
We tried to get the whole RR team for a podcast but in the end it was just AltRaps and myself. The man who serves the Morning Coffee gives his thoughts on the Raps as we discuss all imaginable topics ranging from how much money RR makes, where Khandor is, new Raptors blogs, Hedo Turkoglu,…

Mostly we get our basketball fix from chumps like myself or the staff hired by your local newspaper. It’s all very enjoyable and produces the debate that runs sites like these, but at the end of the day it is more or less an opinion constructed mostly by observation rather than practice (Mind you that…
I talked some Raptors ball with Ryan Wolstat of the Sun’s Courtside blog, he gave us his thoughts on the free agent summer, our options at the wing and plenty of other Raptors topics. We also discussed whether irregardless is a word. Have a listen by clicking on the play button below or directly in…
To get a taste of what Jarrett Jack could bring to the Raptors I spoke with Tom Lewis, the main blogger over at Indy Cornrows. He saw Jarrett Jack play all 82 games for the Pacers last year and we talk about his character, his defensive make-up, what he brings offensively and what Raptors fans…

[audio:http://raptorsrepublic.com/blog/audio/2009-06-02-phdsteve.mp3] 1. Los Angeles Clippers Blake Griffin 20 PF 6-10 248 Oklahoma Griffin is a no-brainer as the #1 overall pick. Every GM, every blog, every website has Griffin ranked as…
I spoke with Jack Armstrong about the state of the Raptors and the importance of the upcoming draft. We also discussed Jay Triano and he gave his take on NBA intricacies like the overuse of timeouts and the possibility of coach’s challenges being used in the future. We also talked about Bryan Colangelo who he…
Usually I expect to learn nothing from a Colangelo press conference because he’s so great at talking whilst saying nothing. Proportionally speaking, we still didn’t get enough out of the 70+ minute presser but at least he confirmed some fears, admitted other failings and hinted at his plan for the summer. Of course nothing concrete…
First up, let’s talk some Nathan Jawai. I spoke with Chris Langrill who’s a Stampede beat writer for the Idaho Statesman about our big Aussie man. We talked about his time in the D-League and whether his negative comments about the experience carried any weight. He had some surprisingly positives things to say about his…
The people who are outright opposed to the trade cite two reasons. The first being the inclusion of a first round pick and the other being Marcus Banks and his contract. Now there’s nothing we can do about the first round pick but we might be able to salvage something of Marcus Banks. If he…
OK, I tried to get as many questions in as I could, Jack only had 15 minutes and I had about 25 questions so there were many that were left out. I’ve basically taken the questions that were posted and asked them verbatim, there wasn’t much time for follow-ups. He had just crossed the border…
