Raptors Beat the Heat, Again 111-103
Good old Heat, you can always count on them for a win. The Raptors have absolutely OWNED them over the last few seasons, winning 8 of the last 10. Arse hit the nail on the head when he said that a win was more a signal of the continued resurgence than a feather in the…
Belinelli and Weems are the “Wright” Solutions
The Raptors have challenges at the wing position. Hedo, ... well we all know the issue there - even though there are signs of improvement at least in terms of effort in recent games. DeMar DeRozan has loads of potential and the consensus view is to keep his development going by having him start. The…
Raptors Roll Call Jan 22 vs Bucks
The “3 hours at the grindhouse” edition. Banks – no burn, unless you count that seething feeling in his body at not getting PT. Bargnani – 2 reasons I hope this injury isn’t one that sees him out of action for an extended period: it’s obvious he has become a major part of this offence…
Gameday: Raptors vs Bucks – Jan. 22/10
Wednesday was the second time we lost to the Bucks this season. It is key we realize that we lost the season series with a team that probably wont make the playoffs. Regardless of whether or not we win tonight, one or possibly two of these losses the Bucks handed us could come back to…
Raptors Roll Call Jan 20 vs Bucks
The “one man army” edition. Banks – the Lenny Kosnowski of the Toronto Raptors. Bargnani – he’s played well and is deserving of a night off…which he took in glorious fashion. He was lumbering up and down the court, his shot was off, any time he was covering Bogut the Aussie made him look like…
Gameday: Raptors vs Bucks – Jan. 20/10
It all just fell apart in the 4th quarter last night in Cleveland, with the Cavs exacting a bit of revenge on the Raptors from that loss they suffered at our hands earlier in the season. Tonight, the Raptors roll into the Bradley Center on the first game of a home-and-home with the Bucks. In…
Raptors Roll Call Jan 19 vs Cavaliers
The “46 minutes is just not enough” edition. Banks – still recovering from the doubt shown him by Arsenalist, so he asked Coach to take it easy on him. Bargnani – may have relied on his 3-ball a bit too much and evidently he flashed the international sign for “don’t give me the ball” during…
Gameday: Raptors vs Cavaliers – Jan. 19/10
The Raptors are back on a roll after beating both the Knicks and the Mavericks in convincing fashion on the weekend. Tonight they are in Cleveland on the first night of a back-to-back against the Mavs. I always thought that the win we had over the Cavs was a disservice to this team because it…
Raptors Beat the Mighty Mavs 110-88
Happy days!! Raptors 110, Mavs 88 – Box In the best performance we’ve seen all year, the Raptors finally lived up to their potential in a blowout win over the Mavs. It’s sometimes frustrating when the Raptors lose to the likes of the Bobcats/Pacers, then beat the Spurs/Mavs, because you wonder why they couldn’t beat…
Raptors Roll Call Jan 17 vs Mavericks
The “we LOVE when Jose and Jarrett play together” edition. Banks – must have felt nice to get back on the floor, garbage time or not. Have to keep him active and game-ready if these trades happen. Bargnani – fairly quiet, well except for that hammer home, first half, but found his rhythm in the…
