……chill. Honestly, there is nothing like the Toronto
sports fan. We are 1-2 after playing 2 elite
Eastern Conference teams and one mediocre, but up and coming, squad. Yet all you see are people losing their minds over how disappointing this squad is. Come on. Personally I’ve always hated the ...

I never thought I'd utter the words “Boy,
this team is missing Reggie Evans”, yet here I
am. Everything I've written in the “Bad” section so far this season (well, most things) could have been fixed with some more Reggie, and this game I find myself writing them again. A tough loss to an ...

The title says it all. After just over
a week of asking for something as simple as
a click, Patrick O’Bryant achieved his goal of 2500 followers on Saturday night. The result? As of 10:30pm Saturday, we have $8830 confirmed as pledged to the Team Up Foundation and I am still getting ...

In the week where professional wrestler Hulk Hogan,
at 56 years old, announced he was returning to
wrestling, the hopes of Raptors fans everywhere did exactly what his old entrance music said: they came crashing down, and it hurt inside. Some of the less pragmatic fans, who had crowned this team ...

OK, admit it. You panicked. It’s OK to
put up your hand and confess that when the
Raptors went from 21 up to a tied game, you had flashbacks. I know I did. We’ve been burned too often by this often tantalising team to expect any different. Sometimes a complete shock isn’t a bad thing. The ...

season-opening game tomorrow night against LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal

$8,240.00 Say that with me: Eight thousand, two
hundred and forty dollars. That represents the confirmed pledges
so far to be donated to the Team Up Foundation if Patrick O’Bryant reaches 2500 followers on Twitter by end of day October 31. What do you need to do? Easy. Sign in (or sign up) for ...

ESPN 15 (14) Raptors 33-49 If the Raps
can overcome their shortcomings on D to get off
to a good start, that should hush at least a fraction of the incessant chatter about Bosh’s future. If they don’t, though, you can probably [...] Related posts: Toronto Raptors Linkage for ...

Toronto Sun "Marco will be a factor but
he wasn’t playing well and the last game was
a little tougher because we wanted to get Antoine as much run as we could — find out where he was fitness-wise and that was the only game we would have a chance to do that." Since an early ...

Yesterday was just an incredible day. What started
off as a little tweet in the late evening
on a Wednesday night to a basketball player that many in most cities wouldn’t be able to name if shown a picture grew into something special. I was floored when the first offer came in to add to my ...

It’s true that I was one of the
haters of the whole Twitter race for followers this
summer between Chris Bosh and Charlie Villaneuva. So much so it caused me to unfollow both, which seems counter to their whole goal. Hourly reminders from them that they were desperate for attention made my ...

Toronto Sun Not that the pessimists are listening,
but Colangelo has seen some good in this pre-season
as well. His prized draft choice, 20-year-old rookie shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, has thus far lived up to all expectations. Most impressive has been his response to some tough love from head ...

Toronto Sun Triano has given his players the
day off today. By his calculation, Triano’s team has
been going at it at a hard and fast clip for the past three days, including the Raptors’ back-to-back set against Boston and Houston. "We’ve got two pre-season games left to get ...

Toronto Sun Chris Bosh welcomed his new teammate
with 20 points in the first half, but the
Raptors suffered third-quarter defensive lapses and fatigue may have got the best of them. "I thought they played well together and we got a little glimpse of what they’re going to be able to do," ...

the pre-season games, but I get to see these guys every day in practice. "And guys have played themselves in and out of positions. "I feel pretty comfortable where we are rotation-wise." ...

how to read the offence," he said. "My confidence is getting higher and higher every game and I want to try to keep that going." The fact that Raptors held on for the win, despite shooting 39% ...

I noticed in the pregame that Leo was
already bracing the fans for a slow start, talking
about how this team is going to need time to gel and to learn about each other. That's funny Leo, I thought that's why we had a pre-season? Oh right, we're playing most of it while missing some key players. ...

Toronto Sun When he made his pre-season debut
on Friday, Bosh went 4-for-8 from the field, including
a hitherto unseen hook shot. By his own admission, it wasn’t exactly a vintage Kareem hook, but Bosh’s ability to make the shot gives defenders another weapon they must now contend ...

a hamstring strain, an athlete who missed every two-a-day
workout and has yet to take part in a full practice with his revamped team, to make an impact right away when he comes back. And so it was last night for Raptors all-star forward Chris Bosh, ...
