Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

Raptors survive VL to beat Clippers

Raptors drive the paint against paper-thin Clips Raptors 97, Clippers 75 On the day the Raptors fell to dead last in NBA.com’s power rankings, we finally found a team that was bad enough to beat. The Clippers had come back from a 5-game Eastern swing and were playing without Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby, both…

Roll Call – December 22nd vs Clippers

AltRaps is back for the Kings game, so bear with me for another one of these. I’ll follow with a recap around 11AM or so… It’s the “Simpsons” edition. Adams – He’s the guy you find in malls testing those massage chairs much to the annoyance of the sales staff. Asked Triano if he could…

Still A Few Stickers Short Of An Album

Baron Davis might be the luckiest man on Earth, according to today’s Opening Tip. ********** Let’s continue the discussion PhDSteve left off on yesterday. 10 -17. .357 win %. 15 games behind the division leader. 3 games out of the final playoff spot. 5 losses in a row. When I was a kid, I loved sticker…

Roll Call – December 20th vs Spurs

AltRaps is off for a week, I’ll try to fill the big shoes. Raps Fan with the post-game report later…if he recovers from his bender. It’s the “Shame on you for tuning in” edition. Adams – When Colangelo beat zero other teams to the punch in signing Adams, is this how he envisioned him being…

Rock bottom

Play of the Game Raptors 83, Thunder 91 Nobody should be surprised. The 2-24 Thunder might be the NBA’s worst team but they have more than enough talent, athleticism and heart to beat the Raptors. The only reason I was leaning towards the Raptors eking this out was the pre-game injury report on Chris Wilcox…

Still can’t score when it counts

OK, has anyone here heard of this thing called “boxing out”? Nets 94, Raptors 87 It doesn’t even register with me when this team builds a 16 point lead, they could be up by 32 and I’d still be worried if there were more than 5 minutes left in the game. Why? Because when it…

Raptors vs Nets (again) Live Blog, Chat and Stream

This game is being shown on TSN2, the channel that when it does come on Rogers, I will never watch except for the Raptors game and even then, I’ll PVR the game so I don’t get to watch the commercials and make the shits who advertise on there suffer. We’ll try to have the game…

The pattern continues…

Not exactly a smooth offensive move. Hornets 99, Raptors 91 No surprises here, the Raptors lose to the Hornets as Bosh gets outplayed and we allow way too much dribble-penetration that sets up clean looks for their on-the-mark shooters. The Raptors still haven’t gotten a quality win this year and their next chance will come…

Beat NJ, Beat NJ!

The Opening Tip tells you about Stromile Swift’s post-NBA plans. It’s the Nets tonight in New Jersey, also known as the asshole of New York. Everybody knew the Nets had young talent but not many counted on them being 2.5 games ahead of us at this point of the season and I have to say,…

It was always going to be the Pacers

Pacers 88, Raptors 101 After we beat Atlanta even the optimist amongst us would’ve pointed at this game as being our best shot at getting our next win, so let’s get the obvious out of the way first: Indiana is currently in the basement of the Central Division and has the 2nd worst record in…
