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…
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…
DeRozan, Weems and Johnson. Twitter‘s good for something. Jay Triano doesn’t care about winning any of these games.

He’s instead continuing his experiments of putting out scrubby lineups and having them deal with the pressure of closing…

Sixers 84, Raptors 79 It’s another loss but the spark we played with was good enough for me, especially when the normally stoic Patrick O’ Bryant shows signs of life. Spurred on by the unlikely closing combination (even for preseason) of Amir…
Raptors 98, Sixers 107 Pretend the Raptors are a 1000 piece puzzle and you got a month to figure out just exactly what that picture is. Pre-season’s all about figuring things out so it’s best to look at this game in terms of what was improved from last season, what problems remain and what definitely…
The London faithful won’t get to see Bosh and Turkoglu as neither travels. Lucky for them Sonny Weems makes the trip. Jay Triano says that he’s not worried about Bosh and Turkoglu missing so much time and that they’ll be ready for the season when it does start. Bosh is expected to go 100% in…
