An Open Letter to Rob Babcock

Posted on 14 May 2008 by phdsteve

Dear Raptors Fans, its time for us to say we’re sorry and move on.

Rob, on behalf of the Raptors Nation, we’re sorry for getting you fired. Now before you get too excited, this is not a letter of forgiveness for drafting Arujio over Iggy, but it is a letter of admission that since that move, you did a lot of good that you never received credit for: i.e. you had the vision and foresight to sign Calderon, you drafted Charlie V, who when he decides to show up is a pretty nice player, and you unlike many other GM’s were able to recoup from a couple of early blunders.

An Open Letter to Chuck Swirsky

Posted on 04 May 2008 by Raps Fan

Dear Chuck,

What a year. Seriously, I haven’t been through so many ups and downs in a single season following the Raptors. Every year, for the most part, you knew what kind of team we had heading into the season. You set your expectations, and away you go. Continue Reading

We Have Ourselves a Series!

Posted on 25 April 2008 by Raps Fan

There is no place like home…where the hell were these guys the last two games? The Raptors came out, and gave a full 48 minute effort against the Magic. Smitch must have been passing around that brain juice. I expected a win, I’ll be honest, but not one where Bosh got 15pts 5rebs 5ast. Continue Reading

B.C. Sign’s Fred Newman

Posted on 23 April 2008 by Raps Fan

Outbidding both Steve Kerr and Michael Jordan, Colangelo pulled a ku-de-ta in a surprise 11th hour signing. Norman has slipped through the cracks, going un-drafted out of college, and toiling in obscurity until Paul Pierce found him during a pick-up game in South Central Los Angeles.

Although he is ineligible for the 2008 playoffs, Norman is expected to start at the three spot come next season. His age was a concern, but B.C. though the shooting outweighed any physical liabilities he may have. Dave Hopla has called him the greatest pure shooter in the world:

Raptors beat the Nets 111-83 [40-39] - April 11, 2008

Posted on 11 April 2008 by Raps Fan

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

Raptors lose to Hornets 118-111 [37-36] - March 30, 2008

Posted on 30 March 2008 by Raps Fan

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

Raptors beat the Knicks 103-95 [37-35] - March 28, 2008

Posted on 28 March 2008 by Raps Fan

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

Raptors beat Pistons 89-82 [36-35] - March 26, 2008

Posted on 27 March 2008 by Raps Fan

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
