Beyond the Raptors: Kevin McElroy & The Knicks
In order to give Arsenalist a break from his insane-post-a-day commitment, I had the chance to sit down with Kevin McElroy, über blogger from the ESPN TrueHoop Affiliate Knickerblogger, to talk about the Knicks, the Eastern Conference and the Raptors
Shockingly, we’re still hanging on to the 8th spot
I don’t know if I should mourn the Raptors loss, celebrate the Nets win, or gouge my eyes out with an unsharpened pencil.
Podcast: Weekly Review/Preview
A quick one today. Another roller-coaster week, two disappointing losses sandwiched between an expected and an unexpected win. With injuries to Bargnani and Calderon, there was a chance for some reserves to make their mark and Jarrett Jack made the most of the opportunity. Sonny Weems had a nice run against Houston which many of…
Hawks Pummel The Raptors, Again
Hawks 111, Raptors 89 – Box On a night where Kobe broke his finger; he manned up, chipped in 20/5/5 and paced the Lakers for their 11th win in a row, the Raptors showed little of anything while being thumped by the Hawks, again. I thought it was Groundhogs day. Except this time, no, it…
DeRozan’s halves, Bargnani’s numbers and Banks
Nine days after everybody wanted to fire the coach and trade every player we get to play the Hawks again. Since then we’ve had a team meeting, won three straight, but ended up losing to the best team we faced during the stretch, the Bucks. What will tonight bring? Some might say that it’ll be…
Comparing our bench to others
Although there’s ****-all to talk about the show must go on. In the recent Triano interview he said: All of a sudden we’ve got two teams now, we’ve got a starting group and a bench group, though I don’t know who’s in which one. Let me help you out, Jay. Here’s your bench: Jarrett Jack,…
How The Raptors Stack Up Against The Rest Of The Atlantic
After a pitiful 33-49 season, Colangelo replaced two starters, the first five guys off the bench, and 2 of the last 5 at the end of it. Two make things more interesting, we have a “rookie” head-coach who has to integrate all these parts while trying to get this team into the playoffs, and possibly…
At some point you have to play some defense
Douby and O’Bryant both played. And it wasn’t garbage time. Hawks 118, Raptors 110 In my efforts to compose poetry yesterday I completely forgot about Hoop Heads North winning the RR March Madness Pool. Here’s his bracket in which he went a whopping 51/63. Congratulations and take a bow, I’ve dispatched my carrier pigeon which…
Ode to a season
The season ended with fresh new wounds, a Magical defeat, oh so soon There was work to do, with options here, and options there With Ford as bait, at a going rate, not too high but not too low A trade was made, lot went out, one came back He came at a fee, and…
Moon screwed up, but so did Triano
You could even look past that shot if it wasn’t accompanied by the grin. Raptors 84, Hawks 87 Alright, let’s get the Jamario Moon hate out of the way early. Sure, he was probably dropped on his head when he was young and then run over by an off-road vehicle. Repeatedly. Yup, that’s the only…
