Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

Jack Armstrong answers your questions

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…

Talking NBA Draft with Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com

When it comes to college basketball and scouting very few people can match expertise with Jonathan Givony, President of DraftExpress.com. So if there ever was an interview where I was out of my league, this was it and I did the smart thing by just letting him talk. We chatted some Raptors basketball and he…

Talking Raptors with RaptorsHQ

There are a few great Raptor blogs out there and one of them is RaptorsHQ. I had a chance to talk some hoops with Adam and Dave, also known as Franchise and Howland. We chatted some Raptors ball and discussed issues ranging from Sam Mitchell to Roko Ukic. If I seem a little out of…

Michael Grange was in Detroit for Game #44 against the Pistons tonight and he took some time out to talk Raptors ball.

Podcast: Raptors Republic, Celtics Blog and Bright Side of the Sun

The good man from Bright Side of the Sun organized a little blogger roundtable with myself and Steve from the Celtics Blog.

Just not good enough + Fan Podcast

Anybody else getting tired of being laughed at? Raptors 94, Cavaliers 114 We’re allowed a 15 man roster of which we’re not using two spots. So we’re down to 13. Then we have Jawai so we’re down to 12. Then we have Hassan Adams, Will Solomon and Roko Ukic so our NBA quality players are…

Mitchell firing means roster can finally reach glorious heights

It happened a year too late but it finally happened, Bryan Colangelo couldn’t tolerate another day of not having the coach of his choice running the team of his choice. So what took so long? Why didn’t he just not renew his contract and get his man in there last season? I’ll tell you why,…

O’Neal questionable, Melo probable + Podcast preview

I previewed tonight’s matchup with Benjamin Hochman who is a beat writer for the Denver Post and covers the Nuggets on a daily basis.

Heat preview, podcast and RR is your TV today

Miami in town today and what’s so special about them? Instead of the boring mugshots every NBA team uses they’re dressed up like the Reservoir Dogs. Classy to say the least, except for Chris Quinn who looks a lot like…well…Chris Quinn. I previewed the game by talking to Mike Wallace of the Miami Herald. Some…

Raptors flunk Pistons test; Matt Devlin talks to RR about it

Prince killed Moon Detroit Pistons 100, Toronto Raptors 93 It had to happen, it just sucks that it happened at home against a depleted Pistons team. The 3-0 start had given the team a lot of confidence heading into this one and as Jermaine O’Neal pointed out pre-game, it was an early measuring stick of…
