Raptors Cage

Can DeRozan and Gay Co-Exist?

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

Raptors 2012-13 Season In Words

I can’t wait for the Bryan Colangelo presser on Monday. Accelerated rebuild, growth, consistency, and all the usual hoopla (BS) is what you can expect, and the sad part is he’s likely going to get away with a relatively easy media session due to the Toronto Raptors‘ strong finish to the season. Much optimism highlighted last … Read more

What Really Happened This Season?

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

Pre-Game: Raps Prepare For Jose Reunion

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

When Does The Ball Drop For Dwane Casey?

I’ve never seen much criticism from Toronto media outlets on Dwane Casey. ‘The assistant coach of the championship Dallas Mavericks squad’ card has been far overplayed at this point, and it’s time to seriously start evaluating Casey.  MLSE has never brought in a premier head coach for the Toronto Raptors. I’m going to go out and say Lenny Wilkins is the … Read more

Let My People Go: The Raptor Rookies

Lets face it people, the playoffs are no longer real for the Toronto Raptors. Even the extreme optimists out there, who refuse to lose hope until the Raptors are mathematically eliminated, understand this fact. Blowing this last stretch of games where the Raps could’ve easily gained ground on the 8th seed removed any hope of … Read more

Evaluating The Rest Of The Toronto Raptors’ Season

No draft pick. No playoffs. Ouch. 25-40 is good enough for the ninth seed in the Eastern conference (at the time of the writing of this article) and that is exactly where the Toronto Raptors currently sit, unfortunately. Raptors fans were hoping for a late season playoff push with the acquisition of Rudy Gay on … Read more

Post Game Report Card: Raptors Not Able To Come Out Of L.A With A Series Sweep

After a terrific performance in a blow out win over the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night, the Toronto Raptors weren’t able to get over the hump against the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night on the road. This was a high scoring affair, 118-116, it finished off with 5 extra minutes of overtime. This game was very entertaining, while … Read more
