Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

Crushing Defeat

See that look on Deron’s face? It’s called focus and being a winner. Notice Jose’s? lol Raptors 101, Jazz 109 Crushing, absolutely crushing. The stage was set for the Raptors to steal one from the Jazz: DST meant the Jazz were playing at 930am Utah time and on the road; no Carlos Boozer; Pops Mensah-Bonsu…

Wade Came. Wade Saw. Wade Conquered.

“…Scottie Pippen defense my ass” – @RapsGurl Raptors 102, Heat 108 It wasn’t the game that Arsenalist was looking for (Joey vs Moon), in fact, both were small bit players in what was Wade vs Bosh. Not a head-to-head match-up, but we saw potential future teammates battle it out like titans. Normally I am extremely…

Roll Call – Mar 6 vs Heat

The “return of dumb and dumber” edition Banks – I don’t care if Jose and Roko were taken out by snipers, there is absolutely no reason to have Banks on the floor outside of garbage time, let alone the first half. Bargnani – do you think The Future looked at that headband wearing loser in…

Roll Call – Mar 3 vs Rockets

The “well thank God that trip is over” edition Banks – major contribution tonight. Yup, word is he actually finished his first ever sudoku. Bargnani – stellar game tonight. As we were reminded (often) his foul trouble was a major blow to our early success. However, his defensive effort tonight was well above average (they…

Another Day. Another Raptor Game. Yay.

I don’t have a clever title, sorry. Normally, RuPaul would respond to being called Bosh “sashay shante“, but he’s in Bush country and you can’t blame him for looking over his shoulder. We know how dem rednecks like dem der colored transvestites…they don’t. The Mavs rolled out the welcome wagon with a 109-98 spanking. Bosh…

Roll Call – Mar 1 vs Mavericks

The “we were right there..if only we were 100%” edition Banks – well, when most of our squad doesn’t feel 100%, at least we have Marcus to fall back on. Of course, that’s like bringing a budgie to a cock fight. Bargnani – he had himself a Roko-esque shooting night. He virtually slept through the…

Raptors Look to Make it 3 Wins in 4 Games

90 points-in-the-paint. That’s what the Raptors gave up to the Suns on Friday. Fortunately for them, the Mavs are far more perimeter oriented. Dampier isn’t the threat that Shaq is in the paint, and the rest of the guys work outside in. Not that it matters, because ultimately the Mavs are playing for a playoff…

Roll Call – Feb 27 vs Shaq…err…Suns

The “ooohh….paint. I thought you said we should try to defend the saint more” edition Banks – if he goes to bed tonight thinking about that kid in public school that teased him saying he wouldn’t amount to anything, Marcus should be rest assured that the bully wasn’t talking about him as a person…just his…

Roll Call – Feb 24 vs Timberwolves

The “anybody ever hear of this Carney kid” edition Banks – back spasms. didn’t play. wouldn’t have cared if he did. Bargnani – sweeter than tiramisu. smoother than maple syrup. as handsome as a mountie. He was running hard, he was slamming, he was laying up, he swore when he missed a chippy. Only thing…

Need to Handle Business

What-choo-talkin-about? The Raptors need to take this one as they head into a tough stretch of games where they play 7 teams who are .500 or better. Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, there is a game against the Wolves. Don’t get too excited, but it could mean two wins in a row for…

Roll Call – Feb 22 vs Knicks

The “flash in the pan” edition Banks – DNP – BTR  (did not play – back to reality) Bargnani – hotter than watching Salma Hayek breastfeed. Couple of nice blocks, goes off for 28, but has to reign in some of those turnovers. Bosh – the usual suspects will rip him, yet he still put…

Roll Call – Feb 20 vs Knicks

The “yup, no reason to be negative at all, eh buddy?” edition Banks – missed a chippy, tossed up an airball, even committed 3 fouls in less than 10 minutes of playing time. I’ve seen more upside in the hairstyles of Kid N Play. Bargnani – he looked as graceful as an elephant doing ballet.…
