Sam Mitchell

 By Raptortalk Some will say it’s too early to pass judgement on Jay Triano after only three regular season games as the Raptors head coach. I see it differently. I view Jay Triano as someone who has been coaching the Raptors for 78 games and his overall record is less than stellar . In fact, I’ll go a step further and say that Jay Triano may very well be Colangelo’s “Hoffa” – a very bad managerial move that needs to be corrected sooner than later.                                                          Triano's not coaching Sherm Hamilton anymore When Sam Mitchell was fired after going 8-9 early last season, ...

Pistons at Raptors Well as if this game did not need any more spice added to the recipe. The Pistons and Raptors are both undefeated, Chris Bosh is the NBA player of the week and now you add in Allen Iverson to the mix and tonight’s game has become larger than life. If Iverson does play, this game will be the most watched matchup of the night in the league and that gives the Raps a great shot and showing what they are all about. Toronto, who is 3-0 and climbing the charts on the various power rankings around the league, can’t worry about ... Read Full Story

Toronto Raptors at Utah Jazz Well it has been an interesting last few days eh? Finally a game to watch and not have to listen to 1400 opinions on what happened, why it happened and what is ahead. It will be a great test to see what kind of team this is with the killer sked of games coming up. Will they man up and take the firing of SMitch as a wake up call or was it not Sam at all and the team just sucks? I am hoping for the first option of course but I am not sold yet. The potential ...

Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors, Raptors -5, total is 187.5 One of my favourite things is Toronto Raptors basketball on a Sunday afternoon. Even with the hour time difference it makes for a relaxing and lazy way to spend the day. Sadly for a lot of Raps fans, today is the first day when you have to deal with not being able to see the game because it is on TSN2. Thank God that I have that channel out in Halifax. I feel the pain of all of you on Rogers, I really do. As for the game, the Raptors better bring a better ... Read Full Story

Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors Is it a little dramatic to call tonight’s game a must win? Considering the schedule ahead, I will certainly feel better if they hit the road out west with a 8-7 record. Winning any of the games on the upcoming trip will be very hard so it is key to bank one at the ACC tonight against a Hawks team that destroyed the Raps a few weeks ago. Friday night games are becoming a bit of a disaster for Raptors fans and all I can see in my head is endless threes from Bibby or Johnson tonight. Have the ... Read Full Story
