As it stands right now, if the playoffs were to start today, the Packers would be on the outside looking in but that does not mean that we don't control our own destiny due to our second half schedule. By dissecting the first 8 weeks of the season and breaking down the team by positions hopefully we can clearly the muddy waters that has been the Pac...

We think. But we also know there have been 10 full NBA seasons played since the phrase "Y2K" was on all of our lips (1999-2000), and here at Ball Don't Lie we've decided to use this as an offseason excuse to rank some of the best and not-so-brightest of the 10 campaigns in question. The result? Why, top 10 lists! No, I didn't sweat it out as much as Dwyane Wade(notes) (pictured, above) di...

I don't because well I was a baby, I was two years old when the Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies we're officially drafted into the NBA. I would have to guess that it sucked not having a professional team in a sport that you liked in your country. Especially, for Dr. James Naismith the inventor of Basketball. I'm sure he'd be happy to know that that dream became a reality in 19...

Maybe except if they have not waived Darrick Martin. LOL!!! Well, I know there are tons of Raptor fan/hate blogs in the world so Im just gonna put my take why Raptors do not really deserve the second round of the playoffs and they cannot.

I could have made some joke about the Raptors being Kryptonite or that the Raptors are going to have to drive the Lois Lane to win the game tomorrow, but that would be too easy Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:36:25 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Raps_vs_Magic_Preview/153650 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Raps_vs_Magic_Preview/153650 Yes, broken dreams. Because for the Raptors to think that they were going to walk into the Palace of Auburn Hills and come out with a win against the Pistons after the Pistons lost to the Knicks the other night?well, that was just a dream. The Raptors actually had a few chances to keep this close and have a shot down the stretch, but the Pistons did what good teams do, capitalizing on each Raptor turnover, turning them into points the other way. 14 turnovers for the Raptors and on almost e...
