OK. So I'm watching game four of the Finals. Actually I'm watching the opening graphics and admiring the beautifully rendered golden lettering, and trying hard to make my brain not pay attention to the grammatical error that it represents...

Spanish media sources are reporting that Colangelo and the Toronto Raptors are going to buyout the remainder of Jorge's contract and cut all ties now rather than later. :(

With Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley questioning the Gasol deal to the Lakers, is that the worst trade in recent NBA history? If not, which ones were worse?
There are some options to reflect on at RaptorsForum to refresh some of your memories incase you can't remember...

While Phil Jackson finished up his first NBA season in the spring of 1968, all the kids were getting high while real political conspiracies played out. And in a very short cinematic release, a film called "Head" entered and exited the cultural chaos of the times without leaving...

Watching the playoffs so far, I can't get over the abundance of jumpshots, many of them forced or out-of-rhythm. I have to give some credit to good defense, but I feel that the increased use and refining of zone defenses offers the best explanation. Through long stretches of both...
The Difference Between the Raptors and the Pistons

Raptors Forum

If you managed to find Game 1 of the Pistons-Magic series (and seriously, can anyone explain why the NBA lets Round 2 begin before Round 1 is finished?), you saw all of the things the Piston do that the Raptors don't and why the Magic were exposed in Game 1 for what they really...
A Few Thoughts?Including the Coaching Situation

Well, I don't know if things could have ended with any more of a thud than they did a few nights ago?well, I guess there could have been a sweep, which would have been a serious thud, but there's not much of a difference between a sweep and a 4-1 series win. The Raptors put...
Raps vs. Magic - Game 5 Preview
April 28, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
To be honest, I'm not completely sure what happened in Game 4. The Raptors looked like they were starting to pull away, were up by about 7 and then all of a sudden, the wheels fell off. Much in the same way that big time players come through in the 4th quarter, big time teams come...
Raps vs. Magic - Game 4 Preview

There are some things that need to be stopped in the world. Greenhouse gas emissions, murder, the Black Eyed Peas and athletes making "guaranteed victory" statements. Honestly, is there anything more lame than somebody coming out and guaranteeing a victory? It is done in...
Raps vs. Hawks Preview
April 26, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
As far as I am concerned, the Raptors should consider themselves as losers of 2 straight. That “win” over the Bobcats, you know, the one where they managed to hang on, didn’t have any sort of defensive presence, shot 73% from the free throw line, outrebounded the...

Well, going into Game 2 against the Magic, the Raptors can start with taking a positive out of Game 1. I know, you're thinking, "A POSITIVE? WHAAA?", but yes, there were a few positives to be taken out of that game that can be carried over to Game 2. Let's start with...
Raps vs. Magic - Game 1 - Postgame
April 25, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
The way the Raptors came out to start their first playoff game of 2008, you would almost think they were playing a preseason game. This looked like an All-Star game (minus the All-Stars) with no defense being played and nobody wanting to lay a hand on anybody. Sam Mitchell acted like...
Raptors Back In Series With Big Win Against Orlando
April 25, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
Well, it wasn't rocket science. The key for the Raptors in Game 3 was to come out and compete right from the opening tip. They couldn't afford to come out flat and while they did seem a little slow at the start, they turned on the jets and never looked back. The Raptors were...

All things considered, the Raptors really haven't played that bad basketball over their first two playoff games this year. They have had two absolutely terrible quarters, which happen to be the first quarters of both games, but outside of those first two quarters, they have outscored...

It's amazing how one man can do one thing very well and another not so well in the same game. No people, I'm not talking about TJ (relax, I'll get to that in a second), I'm talking about Sam. Sam Mitchell at times this season has not done the greatest job managing Jose...

As the Raptors come to the end of the regular season, yes, we can assume that Sam is a genius. The Raptors managed to work themselves into a first round matchup with the Magic, which is the best they could hope for considering the other company at the top of the conference. While the...

There have been so many games this year that were considered "statement games" that the term lost its importance realtively early. When you have to make so many statements, you either aren't speaking the language properly or your talking has required you to do more talking...

As some of you may know, I used to work for the Raptors, I started in the catering department.
One of the first days on the job, I had to go set up and deliver the food to the dressing room.
I was super nervous pushing my little cart in there after the game. After struggling through...
The Right Move and the Wrong Move

It wasn’t tough to see that the lineup changes the Raptors made against the Pistons had a definite effect on the game’s outcome. The Raptors were moving the ball well, they played effectively as a team and they were able to close out a game when it looked like they were...

Just for today, the planets are aligned. The Raptors took care of business, the weather’s good, I’m sitting here drinking Peardrax…this is easy living. But it certainly wasn’t easy living for the Raptors going into the half. Tell me they didn’t look like...
