Raptors Struggle To Tame Team Arrogance
The Toronto Raptors have played arrogant basketball all season long, refusing to acknowledge their flaws, and now it's coming back to haunt them.

The Raptors can’t eradicate the sins of the regular season, but the Playoffs can go a long way towards setting how severe their repentance will have to be.
Who are the “real” Raptors? Is the Houston game a springboard? A mirage? A confidence boost? That's just the first segment.
The Raptors season comes to an end two points shy of eliminating the $190 million dollar payroll of Brooklyn. Time to say goodbye to our favourite team.
Carter and Bosh both floundered in their first playoff appearances. That doesn't have to spell doom for DeRozan and the Raptors.
Toronto Raptors 92, Orlando Magic 102 As I watched the final two minutes tick away on mute I realized that this was my least favorite Raptors team ever. Yes, even worse than that third year crew that went 16-66. It’s probably because with that team there were no expectations or hype, just a hope to…
For all practical purposes this series is over, the chance of a Raptors series win is 1.69% since only 2 out of 118 teams have come back to win after taking a a 3-1 deficit on the road. I can also guarantee you that those two teams didn’t have a defense that could be broken…

It’s do or die time, no exaggeration. If we lose Game 3, there won’t even be a point in continuing in the series and we may as well empty out the bench and get Maceo Baston some playoff experience in Game 4. The Raptors have their backs against the perennial wall but lucky for them…
Toronto Raptors 103, Orlando Magic 104 Phil Jackson once said that a series hasn’t even started until a team loses a home game, so take some solace in knowing that we have what it takes to beat the Magic. Today was an extremely unlucky evening where we were any one of a rebound or a…
A tough one to swallow that Game 1, but if anything came out of it, it was that we did outscore the Magic 77-71 in the final three quarters and did something right. Needless to stay a better first quarter and a strong-minded defensive effort is required tonight in Orlando. The Game 1 fallout has…
