Sorry, but I am going to keep going with this old school motif for a little bit. Tonight’s game against the Hawks was one of those ones where there were a lot of things to like, but man, there were also a lot of things to dislike. A lot of joy and pain (in case you really needed...

Well, well, well…welcome to town Mr. Horford. Just in case you didn’t remember, Al Horford is the reason TJ Ford is not playing right now, the reason we have had to suffer through D-Mart appearances and Juan “Instant Forced Shot” Dixon sightings. He’s...
Start singing the blues…

Raptors Forum

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...
Raps vs. Kings Preview

Raptors Forum

What to make of the Kings (or the Queens as Shaq infamously called them…)? The Sacramento Kings are a decent scoring team, 11th in the league, averaging just over 99 points, but they also give up a lot of points, just under 102 points per game, 8th in the league. They shoot a...

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...
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...
3 Reasons This Game Should Have Ended in Regulation Time
January 26, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
Lately, we’ve been doing a lot of talking about how the Raptors have not been able to finish off teams, how they fade down the stretch and just don’t have that killer instinct. If you wanted a good example of why the Raptors are not able to finish off teams, today’...
Garbo Minutes!

Raptors Forum

If Jose doesn’t hit that big 3 with 45 seconds left, the Raptors lose that game. Plain and simps. Coming out and having a good second half, especially a good third quarter would have gone to waste. Right now, there is a lot of talk in the Pacers organization about falling apart...

At this point, what do you really say with the Raptors going up against the Celtics? You want them to take the ball inside, but you know that Bosh has suddenly become KG’s bitch, shying away from the lane like Oprah does a stairmaster. KG’s wingspan is a deterrent, there...

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...

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 he brought...

Palace of Broken Dreams

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...

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...

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...
A Few Good Quarters in the French Quarter
January 17, 2008 by
Raptors Forum

So earlier, I was saying that the Raptors were going to have to improve on their field goal percentage if they hoped to beat the Hornets. Well, I don’t think anybody saw them coming out shooting 75% in the first quarter, but that definitely helped. What was also of importance...
