Raps vs. Kings Preview

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...
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...
3 Reasons This Game Should Have Ended in Regulation Time

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's game...
Start singing the blues…

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...

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...

Have you ever done something really embarrassing? Something that halfway through you thought to yourself, “Man, this is downright embarrassing.” For example, I have a little sleepwalking problem. Once when I was in England with some friends, I ended up in the hotel lobby...
Raps vs. Suns Preview (Game 2)
January 12, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
Well, the last time these two teams squared off, the Raps got an old fashioned ass-kicking. They manged to score 123 points, but they still lost by 13 and even that margin was complimentary considering how poorly they played. The Raptors D was invisible, making it easy for 7 Suns players...
Raps vs. The Clip - Preview

The Clip…very close to The Clap. Both not so good. It is sort of like the Clippers have time travelled back to the turn of the century (or really any time that hasn’t been the past couple of years), back to when they were the running joke in the NBA. What to make of their...
Raps vs. Sonics Preview

Raptors Forum

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about watching the kid play. Kevin Durant has lived up to the hype, providing some pretty solid numbers (as their leading scorer) and being the only real highlight for a team that has no future in Seattle. It’s a poor situation...

We’ve said it before, Kris Humphries gets his PT because he knows what he is supposed to do. He even said it in his post game interview. All he has to do is go in there, play hard defensively, rebound and run the floor. Sounds simple and to some degree it is, but it also isn...
Raps vs. Pistons Preview
January 05, 2008 by
Raptors Forum
| Comments
If only this game could have happened in a few weeks, it would have allowed the Raptors to face the Pistons after they had possibly cooled down a bit. The Pistons are the hottest team in the league (15-2 in December and winners of 10 in a row) and in my opinion, the best team in the...
Raps vs. Bobcats Preview

It’s time for the Raptors to take a quick peek at the end of the season. Jersey, Detroit, Miami, Chicago. Three out of those games are going to be tough. So why am I talking about the end of the season now? Because with the way the Raptors are tossing away games, they have to...
Raptors give the Mavericks another go

The last time the Raptors faced off against the Mavericks in Dallas back on November 20th, Dirk Nowitzki went off. During one stretch during the third quarter, he reeled off four straight long balls to bring his team back from a 24 point deficit to win the game. Bosh and Bargnani both...
The Butler Did It

Make no mistake, that was a completely winnable game last night. When I saw the Wiz wearing their 80’s Wales Conference jerseys, I thought it was an omen. I thought the Raptors were going to cruise to a win. So much for that.
Caron Butler…remember, we mentioned him? Said...

Okay, I have to admit it. I’m not a basketball genius. You’ve probably already realized that. I understand the game and appreciate it, have a pretty good grasp of what should be done and when, but I’m not the Stephen Hawking of basketball Xs and Os. But just humour...

Well, I have been absent for a while. My explanation? My computer decided it was time to have a final meltdown…and when I say meltdown, I mean meltdown. Anyway, just bought a new system today, back in business. Now I can get my porn Raptors stuff on a big screen without worrying about cras...
