Let’s face it, not many things really did go the Toronto Raptors’ way this season, and if there is one redeeming quality from this season, it has to be the ‘moral victories’. However, the bottom line is that this team’s record isn’t reflective of their performance this year, and it’s time to examine why. We analyze the … Read more
Has anyone every thought about why the Toronto Raptors franchise has never been a championship threat since the ‘glory days’ of Vince Carter, T-Mac and co.? Poor management, and poor roster moves along with mediocre coaches played a role in that for sure, but it’s time to get down to the root of the problem: the accelerated … Read more
Why don’t we look at the Toronto Raptors as a bird? What does a bird have? A bird has two wings, yes, and the Toronto Raptors have two wings. For this bird to move, for it to fly, and for it to function, these wings have to work simultaneously, and work together. So the big … Read more
2006 was the very first year Bryan Colangelo came in and took charge of the front office of the Toronto Raptors. The “BC Era” many called it.

I can’t wait for the Bryan Colangelo presser on Monday.

Much optimism highlighted last … Read more
What happened to the Toronto Raptors this season? Do the fans remember the promise Jamaal Magloire made before the final game against the New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets) last season? “…and continue, continue, continue to stick with us, ’cause we are going to improve, and we are going to make the playoffs next year.” … Read more
Well, it’s official. If you were tired of the moral victories to begin the season, be weary, because a lot more are about to come. This is regardless of the Toronto Raptors winning any game from here on in. Tonight the Raptors play the Washington Wizards who have beat the Raptors the last two times … Read more
Tom Szczerbowski – USA TODAY Sports The Toronto Raptors blow yet another lead to the Detroit Pistons, as the lose by 10, 108-98 Monday evening. With this loss, the Toronto Raptors have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, which quite frankly isn’t a surprise. Jose Calderon‘s return to the ACC was a successful one for … Read more
Let’s skip the traditional pre-game today, because quite frankly there isn’t much point of analyzing this game. It’s a meaningless contest for two teams virtually playing for nothing. Here are some things that should be interesting: 1. Rookie Battle Andre Drummond, a player many people were upset that the Raps passed on, will get the start … Read more
