Sorry in advance if I don’t finish this article because my conditioning is totally off, it’ll probably take me till mid-November before I can write a grammatically correct sentence but I’ll try. We should’ve taken those early pre-season games more seriously, we could use a couple right now just so Triano can validate whatever he’s…
First up, follow Patrick O’Bryant who is donating a dollar for every person that follows him. People are also matching donations, it’s a great cause and you may make pledges, read here for more. 2-6. Your pre-season play isn’t exactly indicative of what you might do in the regular season but it still speaks to…
Things aren’t exciting enough in pre-season so we’re going to create a scandal – Bowling Gate. Did Triano “hustle” Jack? Were Jack’s ulterior motives at play as he intentionally lost to try and appease Triano? Did Marco Belinelli kick the ball thinking he was playing soccer? Did Evans aggravate his foot injury by dropping a…
I’m pretty sure Antoine Wright isn’t going to take DeMar DeRozan’s starting spot. See, DeRozan has done exactly what he’s been asked to do, he’s kept an ear open to the vets and coaches, he’s played smart basketball and has improved with each game. Taking him out of the starting lineup won’t necessarily hurt his…
Turkoglu’s play was one of the few bright spots on a very dismal afternoon. C**tics 101, Raptors 82 – Box C’mon man, try to stay positive, it’s only pre-season. That’s what I was telling myself after the game, to not lose faith so early and give Triano a chance, a chance at a full training…
For those that know me, I’ve made no secret that I have a soft spot for the Bobcats. Can’t explain other than everytime I’ve seen them play, they put effort into their game and they genuinely look like they’ve been gutted when they lose. That said, they should weigh somewhere between 80-100lbs by now.
Rockettes 124, Raptors 112 – Box Houston shot the lights out from downtown like it was NBA Live 95 and Pops Mensah-Bonsu wreaked havoc on the inside like it was personal. It all added up to a win for the Yao Ming slash Tracy McGrady-less Rockets tonight. That and the fact Jay Triano made no…
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…
I know pre-season’s all about preparation and practice but there’s something different about tonight’s game against Boston. Or at least there should be. They’re playing their Big Three 20-23 minutes a game so far this pre-season which means there’s a good chance we’ll see a competitive first quarter with the “real” lineup for both teams,…
Hedo‘s the worst interviewee ever, it was a real test of my patience to get through 4+ minutes of that but I did it so you don’t have to. All you need to know is that he expects to get some minutes against Boston on Wednesday and that his physical and mental fatigue is wearing…
You know how sometimes people say “as far as I know” at the end of a ridiculous statement to distance themselves from what they’re stating while actually promoting the thought they just spewed out? For example, I could make a statement like, John Smith’s mother is not a whore as far as I know. I’m…
Continuing on our merry way with our TrueHoop familia, today we turn our attention to the New York Knickerbockers. Once a franchise looked upon with pride, but then they ran into Vince, Alvin, Antonio, and their old employee named Charles. The Raptors knocked them out in the first round and the Blue and Orange faithful…
