I’m a little embarrassed to say that my original plan for this post did not work because the Raptors did not cooperate with my expectation for them to drop three straight to the Nuggets, Rockets and Magic. Yes, I had pegged the guys to lose all three. Before you jump down my throat, how many of...

Helllo Court Surfers! Holly here, in Nova Scotia writing a post because she misses Raptors shootaround and Raptors opponents because honestly, the Raps are not really a happy group right about now. So, I had a trio of interviews set up for you this week and the plan was to run them every other day while...

Tonight we have the New Jersey Nets back in town to face the Raptors. While the Raptors took down the Nets big this past Friday, Raptor fans would like nothing more than to have Vince Carter shoot 0-13 again this game. Pregame, Coach Triano spoke at length about the play of Jose Calderon as well as their...

Two days from today will mark the four-year anniversary of the infamous Vince Carter trade. Six days from today will mark the one-month anniversary of the day Vinsanity stepped on the collective heart of Raptors fans once again. But this isn’t a blog that simply aims to recall all the days that...

This should actually be titled, "Notes and Quotes From A Shootaround That Didn't Happen," since the Raps took this morning off after playing in Cleveland last night. Let's look at where things stand, going into a matchup against the Pacers this evening. First of all, tonight is the...

Last night, the Atlanta Hawks were in Toronto to face the Raptors. With Toronto heading out on a three-game West Coast road trip, the win was one that they really wanted to pick up. They did so, thanks to Chris Bosh's monster night of 30 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocked shots. Defeating...

Where Amazing Happened Vince Carter ripping the beating heart out of all of Toronto with that dunk to finish off the Raptors, 129-127 in OT on Friday night. After a beautifully called play by Coach Frank , the Nets executed it perfectly and left the arena silent and gasping for air. Vlad-Rad wearing...

Today, the New Jersey Nets are in town and along with them is Vince Carter. Public Enemy No. 1 for many of the fans in Toronto, the love/hate relationship with Mr. Carter will probably never fully fade, regardless of how much time has passed since his time in a Raptors uniform. Of course, this was the...

By the end of this blog, you will probably be thinking that I was all over the place with my thoughts. Well if you watched the Raptors game on Tuesday, filled with 24 Raptors turnovers, you're probably used to being "all over the place" already. I thought T.O. stood for "Toronto,"...

Where Amazing Happened Roger Mason Jr . and his three-pointer to win the game for the Spurs last night. With everyone's attention on Tim Duncan , Mason rises, rises, and rises a little more, to sinks a beautiful three-pointer. Will Soloman wowing Raptors fans with his 15-point, 11-assist performance...

If you watched last night's Raptors-Celtics tilt, you witnessed the main reason why the Celtics are the defending NBA champs: They just play harder than everyone else. It all begins with Kevin Garnett, who is intense-bordering-on-insane whether it's a pre-season game or Game Seven in the playoffs...

If the NBA were a three-period league, the Toronto Raptors would be 5-2 after seven games, with a 4-1 road record and an impressive road victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics on their early-season resume. Of course, this would also be the case if the Boston Celtics weren't the Boston...

Where Amazing Happened Jose Calderon. Kevin Garnett. KG snapping, clapping and taunting his way into Calderon's face during the Raptors/Celtics game last night and then Calderon giving it right back to him. KG loves to get fired up by trying to intimidate, there was no intimidating Calderon who started...

I would like to welcome someone to town, and no, it's not Allen Iverson for his Pistons debut in the "Big Smoke" tomorrow. His name is "swagger," you may have heard of him. He is persistently visible in the NBA., usually among the most successful, "meaner" franchises...

The Toronto Raptors started their season on a high note with an impressive performance against the Philadelphia 76ers this past Wednesday night in Philly.

The Raptors picked up a big win against Philly in the season opener on Wednesday night. Following the lead of star big men Chris Bosh and Jermaine O’Neal, the Raps also got great performances by Jason Kapono and Jose Calderon. The Raptors started out slowly but picked up their play in the second...
