Raptors Notebook: Graham not lacking confidence
At 6-foot-7, Joey Graham is shorter than the average power forward in the National Basketball Association. But with Chris Bosh out of the lineup because of a knee injury, Graham had to log some minutes at the position against Charlotte. Graham did not mind the challenge of playing the position, as he thinks he has the skill set to play it, or any other spot on the floor, for the Raptors. ...

Full Court Heave - Mar 3
The AltRaps Blog — ... ?  Joel feels he can play all 82 games. If he does, the trainer as to kiss Joel’s ass, at mid court after the Blazer’s final game. If he doesn’t, Joel needs to buy the trainer dinner. Seems one-sided to me. After practice today, the Raptors gathered around a pitching game to see who could throw the fastest pitch. You might be surprised to see who won (and set a record). Finally, in tribute to a team that took it to us in almost every respect: Filed under: ...

Bosh-less Raptors Pound Hapless Heat
Courtside — ... foul by Alexander Johnson. Following the game, the FAN590 reported that x-rays on Andrea’s cheek bone came back negative and he had no signs of a concussion. He will be re-examined tomorrow and should be in the lineup on Friday night when the Raptors host the Wizards. On a closing note tonight, I know all you Raptors fans have been in a bit of a downer lately so I found a couple of things that might cheer you up. There is nothing great about them, but they are both pretty comical. According to a National Post report , Joey Graham said at practice on Tuesday that he thinks he is ...

The 10-man rotation, starring Mike Miller for MVP
Ball Don't Lie — ... starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out. C: The Blowtorch. The Grizzlies are 0-8 without Mike Miller in the line-up this year. There's your MVP! PF: Blazer's Edge. The most depressing video you'll see all week. SF: Epic Carnival. Profiling forgotten NBA legend, Pat Cummings. Not Terry. Not Vonteego. Pat. SG: National Post, via Courtside. Joey Graham thinks he's the most versatile player ...

Game Notes: Wizards at Raptors
SLAM Online — ... -Joey Graham recently came out and said that he’s the most versatile player in the whole damn the League (!!!) For the record, he has not seen a nanosecond of playing time tonight. Sam Mitchell must be saving that stunning versatility of his for the Playoffs. Well, that or the Summer League. ...

Raptors Q&A
And One — ... .) Give me Matrix because he's an awesome defender and rebounder, even though he "ran womanish." He would fit in at the 3 where we're a bit thin: we start Jamario, who's backed up by Delfino (who can play 3/2/1) and Kapono. And we have the much-maligned Joey Graham, who's more of an undersized 4, regardless of how many positions he thinks he can play . If we can swap those two and leave behind Shawn's why-no-love-for-me attitude, I'm all for it. Q: Where do you think the absence of Chris Bosh is felt more - offensively or defensively? A: I think it's more obvious ...

Return to Normalcy, Return to Relevancy
Upside and Motor — ... behind him will mask those woes a bit. Jose is Jose, and no one should be doubting his abilities at this point. Jamario Moon will continue to wow on glamorous D while ignoring the stuff that counts, but still manages to make an impact on the floor in terms of his will and hustle. Bargnani will hopefully have a chance to improve against the weaker second units of the lig, and Jason Kapono will do his thing. Oh yeah, and Joey Graham is, like, the best player to ever live. Or something. But the real key to success in Toronto will be if Jermaine and Bosh can ...
