By rss@youtube.com (BLSoldier00) My second regular mission, played on hard mode. Raptors are attacking HQ, but there's too many to kill individually. I have to set off the nerve gas to kill them, and get out of HQ before I get killed by the gas. This mission is easy, except for the escape part. But it's also kind of long as well.

By Blake Murphy It is easy to get overexcited, as Raptor fans, about Chris Bosh’s performance through the first 12 games. There are reasons to be guarded, to be pessimistic, or to deem his success suspect thus far. At the same time, it’s easy, as Raptor fans, to let his success thus far underwhelm you, to take...

Chill Raptor Fans - The Hedo Signing Will Work Out Fine
Original at RaptorTalk

By RaptorTalk Sure, the Raptors could have tendered an offer to Marvin Williams instead of Hedo- which would then be matched by Atlanta. Then the Raps are really screwed and Bosh walks in 2010. I suppose Bryan could do nothing, but that's not a good option either.

Gerald Green Still DunkingOriginal at LOY's PLACE a celtics green
• Sat, Jul 12
By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) I remember being in the CelticsBlog chat room during the draft and everyone was so excited when Green was still there at 18. Most had expected him to go in the lottery, but his agent had kept him from working out against other players and many felt that was why he slipped to number 18. Whatever the reason, Celtics fans were thrilled to get him. But then, all that potential never translated to NBA play. He showed flashes, but never any consistency and couldn't seem to put it all together. But we did get bright spots like this dunk against the Raptors. I still remember all the Raptor fans talking about them getting even with Gerald for hot dogging at the end of a Celtics win. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!] [read the full post]
