Andrea Bargnani

Toronto Raptors at Philadelphia 76ers IF you have been checking out our game day previews for the last few weeks you have probably noticed a high level of sarcasm directed towards the Raptors. Well they deserve it. It is killing us slowly to watch this team spiral to a 50 loss season and daydreaming about what could of been. If you were to go back to November and say Bosh would put up better numbers than last year, that Bargnani would finally show signs of life and that Joey Graham finally...Read Full Story

Memphis Grizzlies at Toronto Raptors Oh what could of been. This really should be a matchup of two Canadian teams but the Grizz left Vancouver many years ago and are now stinking it up in Tennessee. The Raptors have to win this game and there is no reason they should not. Without JO or Calderon, the team has been really playing well (short of the end of the Bucks game). Can Bargnani have another excellent game?? The question is starting to be asked about what to do when JO comes back. It is...Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at New Jersey Nets Are things starting to turn for the better in Raptorland? Jose is back, AP is stepping into his new role well and JO even looks like he is close to being traded 100% healthy. With morale building what better way to test how things really are than with a game against the Raps biggest enemy in the league. Vince Carter’s last second dunk earlier in the year was kind of like the start of everything going in the crapper so it is time for payback. The Nets are one...Read Full Story

Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors Tonight’s the night, the return of JO and J-Moon to the ACC. Seems like yesterday they were in the red and black and now they are with the Heat and most likely in the playoffs. Remember last season when the Heat were the one team the Raps just killed. Well that is no more sadly. Sure the Raps somehow have won both matchups this season but that seemed like so long ago. D-Wade is healthy and having an MVP season and he is going to go off on the Raps backcourt. If...Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at Minnesota Timberwolves Let me start by saying I am sorry for being so negative about the Raptors lately but can you blame me? Even the most diehard fan must be ready to pack away the bobble-heads and call it a day. So what if Al Jefferson is out. The Raps clearly don’t take advantage of teams that are without their best players. Normally I would think the Raps would beat the T-Wolves but they have actually been playing better ball over the last month (compared to the Raps...Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks What a great weekend if you are a fan of the Raptors. That was easily the best two-game stretch they have had this year and they did it without Jose Calderon and Jermaine O’Neal. The guard play has been excellent and there has been strong efforts off the wing. Chris Bosh has been a leader and the defense has been almost perfect. Yesterday when the Magic made their push, the Raps did not fold like they have done so many times this year and got clutch hoops...Read Full Story

For those of you who watched the Raps-Bucks game last night (on a feed, or Raps TV) you probably turned off the TV thinking to yourself, why did they go away from Andrea Bargnani in the fourth?? We were thinking it as well and also why they took out Roko Ukic so Will the thrill Solomon could come in and jack up bad shots in crunch time. Jay Triano, meet Bargs, the guy you should be going to more and more before Il Muggo loses his confidence once again. Taking Chris Bosh out of the equation...Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at Houston Rockets Another day, another loss, I mean game in Texas. Tonight the Raps play the Rockets and we can’t come up with one reason to think Toronto can win this one. Despite being an ongoing drama, with injuries and unhappy campers, the Rockets still figure out a way to win more than they lose. That is saying something considering they are in one of the tougher divisions in the NBA. No T-Mac but they do have Yao in the middle. The one positive is how the Raps put a...Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at Atlanta Hawks, Hawks -5.5, total is 198 Today is a great day. It is Monday and there is afternoon hoops thanks to MLK day in the United States. The Raptors play the Hawks at 2pm ET and I will be able to sit back and enjoy the game in my warm house and it won’t matter if the Raps lose because it is better than working. Now all we need is for the Hawks to take the day off, otherwise it will be raining 3-balls all day long. I am secretly hoping for this JO-Matrix trade to...Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at Chicago Bulls Another Friday, another Raptors game. I won’t lie, it is becoming more and more painful to even care about this team and spend another Friday night watching them lose. As a fan you sign up for the good and the bad but for some reason this season has really bothered me. Then I read a post over at Raptorblog and Scott pretty much nailed it on the head. I hate this current team and they are tearing my heart out piece by piece. I have not missed a game yet this...Read Full Story
