Back to the usual blather

The last missive from the road -- for now
thestar.blogs.com — Okay, this is it. The last middle-of-the-night (well, Eastern time, at least) posting for a little while.

Who's in and who's out
Let’s get this out there a few minutes before we start the in-game blog. The Raptors have flip-flopped injured players from one night ago: Hedo Turkoglu will be back in his usual spot in the starting lineup but the sore ankle that’s been bothering Antoine Wright has him back on the inactive ...

The aftermath of another bad one
thestar.blogs.com — Okay, this’ll be the second-to-last stupidly early post-game post, I hope because once we get back to the East, I’ll get back on the usual schedule.

And the news just keeps on coming
Just when you thought the Return Of Pops was the big news of the night, here comes more. Just got out of the Raptors locker room and Hedo Turkoglu's sore hip is going to keep him out of this one; he took part in shootaround this morning and it looked like he'd be a go but things didn't pan out ...

There's this and there's that about a really good game
thestar.blogs.com — Great game, no? I know there’s nothing like a moral victory in the big leagues but that one had to feel good.

A late change in the health of the Raptors
There’s been a change in the injured Raptors for Sunday’s game in Phoenix. Hedo Turkoglu must have spent some time at the local chapter of Lourdes because he’s a go for the game against the Suns, but Antoine Wright’s sore ankle will keep him out of the game. At shootaround Sunday morning, ...
