I’m not a silver lining kind of guy, so I will get that out of the way to begin with. The Heat, who are playing for absolutely nothing, came out smoking hot, and hit almost every shot they took in the 1st quarter. The Raptors gave them open look after open look, and they knocked them down. I’m confident my girlfriend could have hit most of those open jumpers…seriously, she can ball for a 5 footer.

Game 2 into the “I don’t trust my teammates, we need to be tougher, and the fan’s suck era”, the Raptors are slowly building momentum in the end of days. I must say, I appreciate Bosh’s YouTube designs, he definitely has personality, and is really trying to connect with fans, which is something his peers haven’t as readily embraced. Continue Reading

I must say, I was actually hype to watch this game. Even though the win was pretty much guaranteed, given that Bosh called out his team and told them he doesn’t trust, and the Raptors had a couple good practices in a row…whatever that means. I imagine it means Joey Graham got a couple monstrous dunks, Baston broke a sweat and Bargnani hit 32 in a row because he was bending his knees. Continue Reading

So, I had a lot of time to think about this game before writing my summary. I have to say it once, because it is the greatest achievement that Smitch Sam Mitchell has attained as the head coach of the Raptors. That out of bounds play that he drew up to win the game was impressive, I must say. Continue Reading

Arsenalist asked me why I was so upset last night over the loss to the Hornets, and if I expected the Raptors to win. I didn’t expect a win, but I thought it was possible given the Hornets were playing their 4th game in 6 nights, on the road. Could they have come out with lots of energy and stole one against the best team in the West given those circumstances? Yes. Should they have? No. Continue Reading

The Toronto Raptors (37-36) hit the road Monday night to take on the suddenly hot Charlotte Bobcats (28-45). The last time these two clubs met the Bobcats out rebounded the Raptors 50-37; including 18-6 on the offensive end, en route to a 110-98 win. Continue Reading

Hard to keep interested when New Orleans got every shot they wanted, and hit em. The Raptors made a game of it in the 4th with a serious run. The second unit got the Raptors within 10 points, the Hornets called a timeout, Byron Scott Countered with Paul, Peja, Chandler, West and James; Smitch left Bosh on the bench. Continue Reading

You have to give them credit, the Knicks are fighting the good fight…somewhat. I mean, they are doing the best they can with the wrong philosophy, system, coaching and players. Sad to see them so playing so rough. Thank G*d we caught them at this point of the season though. The next gimme-game is Miami, and that can’t come any sooner. Continue Reading

I have to give the Raptors credit for a win against the Pistons. This was their 3rd win against a better team in 2008 (Boston and Orlando the other other two). The Raptors grinded out a win. Don’t let the score fool you, the Pistons twice came within 4 points of the Raptors, both times, battling from deficits of 17 and 15 points. The fact that the Raptors were able to whether the imminent attack(s), and maintain the lead in the 4th quarter, in crunch time, well…I’m not accustomed to that. It was almost a perfect game for me: the crowd was pumped, hotties were popping out of their tight tops, my roast beef sandwich was perfect, the half-time show was impressive, and I almost didn’t have to hear Chuck/Leo’s voice the whole night until Leo got Jose for the post game. I have to be honest, I was actually deflated a bit…but I digress… Continue Reading
