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…
The final from Minneapolis was 112-97. Chris Bosh got his first action of the pre-season and according to our podcast guest, John Focke of the T’Wolves radio network, looked “like a gazelle”. He even managed to get T’d up in an altercation with Ryan Hollins. Booyeah! Bring on Danny Granger. Check out the short and…
Put the brakes on the DeMar DeRozan starting talk. Triano says: I’d like to start him, to give him minutes and let him grow as a player with the starting unit but not at the expense of somebody who outworks him through training camp. It may be a position that we jockey for a while…
AltRaps is back, Raps Fan crawls out of his hole and phdsteve returns to the mix as we warm up to pump out the first ever podcast with more than two people. We have some talk about season ticket holders, how MLSE screwed us out of an All-Star game, Doug Smith’s precious chair, the statistical…
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,…
