In my last post, I said that I would offer some pointers on how to create a happy pro-basketball household throughout the playoffs. Sure, you roll your eyes now, but wait until you're sitting on the edge of your seat in game three, cold MGD in hand and the girlfriend/wife walks...

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...
Post-Seasons Reasons

So. Is there any reason to believe in this team (outside of the local impulse to scream about how awesome it is that the Raps are in the playoffs again) will make a mark beyond a trace come this weekend? It seems sour. Bittersweet I guess, but outside of the so-so play in November...

Some things don't happen very often. Total eclipses, Haley's comet, a Knicks win. So that's why when something extraordinary happens, you have to take notice. Tonight, the Raptors stepped up and played a solid game, playing like a team that just wanted it more than the...
Game Preview: VC & The Nets Visit Toronto

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...
Raps Take Care of the Bucks

Okay, so if you were going to be out of the lineup, if you had to write a guy out, couldn't you just say that he had a strained abdominal or something like that? Do you really have to list Mo Williams as being out with Pubic Symphysitis? Just in case you're not familiar with...
"Cheeseheads" March Into Toronto - Bucks vs. Raps Preview

Raptors Forum

So you're a team captain, you're a leader, you're the face of the franchise. Your team has been struggling, you probably aren't 100% healthy and the playoffs are just around the corner. Sounds like the perfect time to rally the troops, to talk about picking it up down...
Maybe Sam's a Genius

Maybe it's the fruity alcoholic drinks talking, maybe it's the twirling paper umbrella distracting my thought process, but maybe, just maybe, Sam Mitchell is a genius. You see, if over the next 5 games, the Raptors go 3-2, they're going to end up lining up against the Magic...

Okay, seriously, what is it about Jamal Crawford that the Raptors have trouble with? The guy just seems to come out and have career nights against the Raptors. It’s money in the bank. Death, taxes and getting lit up by Jamal Crawford. Anyway…
So the Raps did what they needed...
Raptors Disappoint Yet Again

When Vince Carter sucks it up, plays through pain and drops 32 on you; when you have a terrible 3 point shooter taking 6 three-point attempts (Jamario); when your good 3 point shooter goes 1-8 from 3; when you can only score 90 ON THE NETS, who give up over 100 on average
Raptors vs. Bobcats - The Day After

Yikes. When the Bobcats are posting points on you not once, but twice in a week, you have defensive issues. Wait, you have defensive issues, rebounding issues, transition issues

I don't know what it is about games against Atlanta, but something always seems to happen. It's like the two teams step into a vortex, separate from the world, where anything and everything will happen. Anyway, let's get right to it. The fact that the Raptors are even talking...

Well, it has been a little while since I have posted something, had the mother-in-law in town, so my access to the lair (the basement) was limited. No idea why it is necessary to check the weather in places where you aren’t, but oh well. Oh yeah, guys, always make sure you have...
Raps vs. Hawks Preview

Raptors Forum

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 Cats...
Raps vs. Bobcats Preview

After a home loss to the Hornets, the Raptors have the Bobcats up next, which should provide them with a good avenue for getting back into the win column. The Bobcats just haven't been able to put things together, suffering from everything from injuries to bad execution on the...

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 deliever the food to the dressing room.
I was super nervous pushing my little cart in there after the game. After stuggling...

Well, it looks like Chris Bosh's rant after the Denver game paid off, as the Raptors came out and actually looked like a team that wanted to finish a game for once. You can't help but think that Bosh's words had some effect, but you'd also be an idiot not to notice...
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 going...

Let’s throw the “game” against the Heat out the window, as far as I’m concerned, this is still a Raptors team that has lost 5 in a row. Coming into a game against the Cavs, I’m still not sure if the game against the Heat was a good thing for them or not...

With 18 games left in the 2007-2008 regular season, the Raptors (34-30) are heading to Denver to face off against Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony's Nuggets (38-26). However what would normally be a reunion between 2003...

This could be a perfect storm…for the Lakers. The Raptors haven’t been playing well lately, are without their star player and the Lakers are coming off a loss to the Kings…yes, the Kings who have won 2 of their last 9. The Lakers might have received a little talk...

Why is it that whenever the Raptors need to get back in the win category, the Miami Heat come up on the schedule? If the Raptors are not able to pull this game out and pull it out decisively, then they have some serious issues going on. Bosh is supposed to be back for this game and...
