Raptors 108, 76ers 106 You know that Turkoglu commercial that looks like it’s been shot with an iPhone where he’s chomping pizza? I honestly think that’s how he is in real life, just too bloody laid back. At the tail end of a 0-assist stinker he had two chances to be the hero but faltered,…
Raptors 108, Magic 103 – Box If you’re going to blow 18 point fourth quarter leads, the least you could do is win the game and save yourself the blushes. As the Magic were making that furious fourth quarter run, all you could think of was what a shame it would be if the Raptors…
Spurs 86, Raptors 91 – Box After nursing a double-digit lead for most of the game, the Raptors made things nervous for everyone down the stretch but big plays from Bosh, Bargnani and Jack held the Spurs at bay. The defensive energy was more or less there for 48 minutes and the Spurs did their…
Raptors 96, Celtics 103 – Boxscore No Pierce/Garnett/Rondo, no problem…for the Celtics that is. What a waste of a Saturday night, and so much for that winning streak. I really thought the Raptors wouldn’t have much of a problem last night with the caveat that they come out focused and determined. I had a bad…
Raptors 107, Bobcats 103 – Boxscore That’s how you play basketball. That’s how you bounce back from getting your salad tossed the last time around. That’s how your two best players mesh together and carry this team with Jose and Hedo out. It was electric, it was intense, it was exciting and it was gritty,…
Raptors 102, Pistons 95 – Boxscore The first 4 game winning streak of this season was a hard fought one against the Pistons. All things considered it was a quality win. You can pick at nuances of the game, which I will, but you have to be happy with the result, which I am. It…
This picture doesn’t speak about the game, but it is bloody awesome. Raptors 94, Pistons 64 – Boxscore This game went down exactly how I said: the Pistons came out guns blazing from the tip, the Raptors weathered the early storm then put them away. This was what we wanted to see from our boys,…
Hornets 92, Raptors 98 – Box Solid team win against a club that was looking to avenge an earlier defeat. Good to see the Raptors get tested in the fourth quarter of a close game and come out on top, we haven’t had that kind of a result since the win in Washington. A string…
Bosh drives in for another uncontested layup. Nets 95, Raptors 118 We could use more of these. The Toronto Raptors put on a clinic tonight, racing out to a 39-15 lead in the first and never looked back, disposing of the New Jersey Nets 118-95. Even the most pessimistic Raptor fan had to feel that…
Raptors 99, Magic 118 – Box Same crap, different city. They even stuck to true form and lost by 19, the average they’ve lost their last 12 games by. What can you say about this team other than that it’s not one. I can’t really say that I’m disappointed since the definition of disappointment is…
Raptors 95, Heat 115 – Box Those damn team meetings. We really needed to have another right after Miami had theirs, problem was that we won our previous game so everybody assumed everything was all rosy. The warm and fuzzy feelings from Sunday are now gone and replaced with a cold disgusting chill. The Raptors…
Raptors 101, Rockets 88 – Box The Raptors gave as close to a full 48 minutes as we’ve ever seen. Yesterday against the Rockets, the Raptors solidified themselves as one of the most interesting teams in the league, since you don’t know which squad you are getting from a game-to-game basis. In a masterful display of…
