Toronto Raptors

By rss@youtube.com (monuow) The worst shooting performance of Vince Carter's career allowed interim coach Jay Triano to see more positive signs from the Toronto Raptors. Chris Bosh scored 18 points and Toronto capitalized on Carter's 0-for-13 night against his former team to beat the New Jersey Nets 101-79 on Frid...

By Arsenalist “It was our first back-to-back, and they got off to a track meet,” Bosh said. “We kind of played into their game. We settled for too many jump shots. They got long rebounds and were off to the races.” “They went past us, and they shot over us,” Toronto coach Jay Triano said. “They had more movement an...

By By Dave Feschuk Jay Triano, the Raptors coach, pointed out a statistic that's pertinent to understanding the challenge his team faces in Friday's game in New Orleans.

Jay Triano is not true NBA head coach material. The Raptors struggles are in part due to the man who walks their sidelines. Unlike Sam Mitchell whose teams were lighter on talent, Jay now has a talented group of players to work with. Yet the team struggles to win.

With the game on the line, Jay Triano had a luxury seldom ever afforded a Raptors head coach and he took full advantage of it.

By Arsenalist With the Raptors’ needs addressed to varying degrees and there actually being a semblance of true talent on the roster, the biggest question mark remains the coach – Jay Triano. He was 25-40 last year but let’s not forget the team finished strong with against Chicago (twice), Orlando and P...

After a blowout loss to the Celtics on Sunday, Raptors coach Jay Triano found reason to be pleased.

By A-Dub Rockettes 124, Raptors 112 – Box Houston shot the lights out from downtown like it was NBA Live 95 and Pops Mensah-Bonsu wreaked havoc on the inside like it was personal. It all added up to a win for the Yao Ming slash Tracy McGrady-less Rockets tonight. That and the fact Jay Triano made no [...]

By Arsenalist I spoke with Jack Armstrong about the state of the Raptors and the importance of the upcoming draft. We also discussed Jay Triano and he gave his take on NBA intricacies like the overuse of timeouts and the possibility of coach’s challenges being used in the future. We also talked about Bryan...

By RaptorTalk It started on the FAN590 with Doug Smith, Jack Armstrong and Doug Maclean and it continued on RaptorsTV Hoops later in the day. Marc Iavaroni will be joining the Raptors More Raptor rumors Joey Graham will almost certainly NOT be back next year

By Ryan McNeill No player likes to see his coach fired, however when Sam Mitchell was fired earlier this season it was just what Graham needed to jump-start his NBA career. This year he’s averaging career highs in points (7.8), rebounds (3.8) and minutes (20.3) and is thriving under new head coach Jay Triano.

By Ryan McNeill Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a coach when he tries to form a defensive scheme to slow down Kobe Bryant? Toronto Raptors head coach Jay Triano recently talked about how hard it is to guard Kobe Bryant and shared his strategies for slowing down the reigning MVP of the NBA.
