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…
I’m sitting here wanting to talk about tonight’s game against he Bucks, but all I can think about is how Parker/Bosh/Calderon each played over 40 minutes, in back-to-back nights. In a game where the bench should have got some burn, they didn’t…and why you ask? Cause the bench isn’t very good.
Golden State Warriors 108, Toronto Raptors 112 (OT) The Raptors were a hair’s breadth from losing this game in regulation and if they had the theme of this post would’ve been completely different. Instead of focusing on Anthony Parker’s great defense on Maggette in overtime we would’ve focused on the -10 rebounding, missed FTs, bad…
Toronto Raptors 95, Philadelphia 76ers 84 If we had lost that game would you have written off this team? No, of course not. So let’s not get carried away after one win either, even though it happened to be the most impressive regular season win this franchise had registered in six years. Yes, six years.…
I said one thing before the game: “We have to defend Roger Mason!” Sam said one thing during the game: “Horns up!” Raps fans said one thing after the game: “I’m getting a little tired of this.” ************** There’s such a positive spin on everything coming out of the franchise these days, everyone north…
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: No matter how bad things get here in Toronto…at least we’re not Miami Heat fans. All the palm trees and porn stars in the world wouldn’t wash the taste of stale defeat from my mouth. I couldn’t watch these guys for 82 games without taking up hard…
What the fuck’s so funny? Okay TJ, you don’t like me and I don’t like you. Or maybe I just don’t like you. Either way: Your performance last night was unacceptable. I’ve never seen such a selfish display of basketball in my life, and I’m living through the Kobe Bryant era. He dropped 81 with less…
We played to their strengths all game long. – Leo Rautins If “playing to their strengths” means showing all the energy of a Sunday morning shootaround, then Leo’s bang-on. It’s not that Charlotte played particularly well, it’s that our game could be best summed up with one word: YUCK. What a weekend. I…
This MUST be photoshopped…right? Other than responsibility and lineups at the bank, there’s nothing I’m better at avoiding than the details of a PVR’d game. No radio, no text messages or GMail chats, and most important, stay away from the TV. Unfortunately, after I got home from dinner last night I caught an ESPN…
DiNote: I just got home from work to see my house broken into and my laptop stolen. Fucking furious. I had plans to finish this post, but obviously I’m not in much of a mood. I’ll put it out because otherwise it’s garbage, but it’s rough and raw. Read it or don’t – I don’t…
“We make a great job.” – Carlos Delfino Yes, you certainly did make a great job Carlos, though without you and TJ we’d be counting this an L. Instead, this too-close-for-comfort game pushed us to 7 games over .500 for the first time this season. I guess this should be celebrated. While I…
You’ll understand in a minute. Just like we thought, a blowout win. An “answer” to Friday’s game that frankly should have counted as two losses. If it’s okay with you, I’m gonna keep my brow furrowed until we know the outcome of tomorrow’s game in Indiana. They’re a team playing without two of their “stars”…
