If you're looking for a team that could pretty good in a few years, you might be looking at the Timberwovles. Al Jefferson is a solid player at both ends of the court and is a strong rebounder (needs to work on his FT% in order to reach the next level), McCants is starting to figure...

Ah yes, but nobody was Raising Hell on this occasion (my apologies to Run DMC for bastardizing their song). Well, finally, the Raptors had one go pretty much according to how it should have worked out. The Kings didn’t play D, didn’t rebound (did you see how guys were moving...
Statements and Exclamations

The win over the Celtics the other night was an important win for a variety of reasons, but none more than the Raptors making a statement to themselves that they belong as a legit contender in the East, that they do have the tools to pull out some wins against the best teams. But as...
A Little Help From My Friends

Have you ever been in a situation where you were with your friends and you really needed some help, but nobody came to your aid? For instance, back in the college days, my teammates and I were out in Columbus for a night on the town. Long story short, one of our rookies is getting...

So, in the Joy and Pain post, I was talking about how the Raptors have made coming out flat in the 3rd quarter into an art form. I wanted to find out exactly what goes on in the Raptors locker room at half time (well, other than Jose passing out Gatorade, which is some sort of trend...

Okay, it’s great for the Raptors to get a win, a divisional win, a win against the Celtics, but let’s not get too excited about this one. There were a lot of good things tonight and a lot of bad things, but we finally saw a bit of guts from the Raptors, hanging around long...

As soon as I heard that Caron Butler wasn’t going to be playing tonight, I said to myself, “Here comes the letdown.” It was almost guaranteed. I don’t know what it is with the Raptors, but as soon as they are facing a team that is missing at least one of their...
Raps vs. Blazers Preview

Raptors Forum

I don’t think that at the end of the season, the Blazers are going to be at the top of the Northwest Division. I can’t see them finishing ahead of the Nuggets and the Jazz, it just seems like too much to ask from a team that young right now. Don’t get me wrong, the...

Okay, in the Raps-Wiz post-game, I was telling you to start looking for the other three horsemen of the apocolypse…well, I found the second one. Kobe Bryant sharing the ball. It's true. It's happening and guess what? The Lakers are winning. I'm not one to use causal...

After last night's embarrassing performance, you would hope that the Raptors were going to come out and put one on the Wiz, but of course, the Raps weren't able to do wha

You know the scenario. You’re at a bar, you’ve had way too much to drink, you’re not even really having a good time anymore. You still hang around for a while, but you just start pissing everybody off and pretty soon, you’re the joke. So you decide to pack it...

While Toronto fans are moaning and groaning about Bosh and Calderon not being All-Stars, the Wizards have some legit beefs too. I’m talking about Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison. The dynamic duo, lightning and thunder, Tough Juice and AJ, Axe and Smash…well, maybe not the...
Raps vs. Hornets Preview

Raptors Forum

There is a ton of analysis that goes into basketball, all of the stats and matchups, but for the Raptors tonight, it is pretty simple. If they come out and shoot below 41% again (like the 37% they had the other night), they are going to get spanked. It doesn’t matter what kind...
Kobe Reaches New Heights in Bulls Loss

Apparently, Kobe Bryant has such an impact on the NBA, he doesn’t even have to play on your team to make them play like crap. We all know he can suck the life out of the Lakers while he is on the court, but for him to do it to the Bulls while he isn’t even there is truly...

Who is Raptors?
The snow's falling and I've got an essay to write. There are lots of questions, but none more pressing than the one I led with. These guys can simultaneously stink up the joint and make it smell lemony fresh all in the span of 48 minutes. It's refreshing...

Watching a basketball game by yourself, there are probably very few things that are going to make you laugh out loud. I mean, a real from the bottom-of-the-gut-still-smiling-five-seconds-later kind of laugh. But most of the time, when I see Jamario Moon block a shot, I start laughing...

Okay, so I have the kid off to bed, have a few Shopsy’s dogs lined up, pull a Sleeman’s out of the fridge (wha? No MGD? I know…) and get ready to sit down to watch the game when I hear that Bargnani is starting at centre, which kickstarts a “Clouseau-esque&...
Jamario Moon: 33

When news broke that Jamario Moon would be participating in this year’s All Star slam dunk contest, Raptors and NBA fans alike were all heard saying the same thing - “Finally!” As much as Toronto fans are quick to denounce Vince Carter’s relevance and what...

A little late for this post, but it’s also regarding the Knicks, so really, who cares? If people in New York weren’t already signing the blues, the terrible performance put in by the Knicks last night should have had them looking for harmonicas and bottles of bourbon, because...

Well, one could say, “Hey, at least it’s the Sixers coming to town right now”, but hold on a second, these guys aren’t that far behind the Raptors, with only a 3 game separation between the teams. When talking about the Sixers, there has been a lot of negative...
