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. ...

... team to expect any different.
Sometimes a complete shock isn’t a bad thing. The Raptors bent but did not break, they weathered the storm (albeit a storm that had hit Boston a night before and played itself out) and they came back firing. Although I’m not ready to anoint this team as a championship contender just yet, I think we saw some good signs last night.

……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 “it’s just preseason” excuse. This year we [...]

Banks – his worst game of the preseason, but he only saw the floor for 2 minutes. Still, that was enough to provide flashbacks (premonitions?). 3 fouls, 1 assist and providing a face to acid reflux.
Bargnani – speaking of worst games of the preseason, Andrea was ...

I’m not a pre-season kind of guy: on the one hand, I don’t get excited when the Raptors win a game – it’s pre-season, means nothing; but on the other hand, when they lose…WTF! Irrational, I know. Fortunately, Triano doesn’t care either way, it’s ...

After two straight postseason trips, the Toronto Raptors struggled to a disappointing 33-49 record in 2009. But the main storyline entering the 2010 campaign is whether All-Star forward Chris Bosh will re-sign with the team next summer. That’s when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. It ...

Can’t expect a guy coming off 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 ...

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 ...
