“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...

Hoops aren’t dead at this time of the year after all. There’s some really good basketball being played in Poland where the 2009 EuroBasket takes place. Although Italy and the Raptors due of Bargnani and Belinelli didn’t qualify for the tournament there are some players that Raptors fans sh...

Opinion: We need to beat Boston

08 Sep 2009 21:58:40 PDT

Written by Arsenalist
1. The Raptors blow a big first half lead after being unable to handle Boston defensive pressure in the second half. 2. Rajon Rondo dominates a gimpy Calderon to set the tone for the game. C**tics cruise. 4. Raptors fail to score on nine straight fourth quarter possessions.

I think Steve Kerr finally recognized this in Phoenix and tried to add another dimension to the Suns by trading for Shaq, things didn’t work out and it was a bad trade to start with, but give the guy credit for recognizing that his team wasn’t going anywhere. Colangelo tried to first suppleme...

Written by Arsenalist
Colangelo admitted that one of his biggest failings was not to sure up the backup PG spot and that relying on the platoon of Solomon and Ukic was a huge gamble. Once Calderon got injured and was unable to perform at expected levels, this fatal mistake by Colangelo was further illuminated upo...

In what could be considered one of the most fun games to watch this season, the Raptors suffered a 100-98 buzzer-beater defeat against the worst team in the Eastern Conference. What was interesting about the game was the fact that neither team chose to tank. Check out the box score. The Wizard...

Written by Arsenalist
Anthony, try to put those arms up. Raptors 101, Pacers 130 If there was a mercy rule in the NBA it would’ve been fit to invoke here. The Pacers laid down a beating to remember on the Raptors and unlike the last time we were in Indiana, there was no comeback to feel good about. [...]

Having said all that, look for the Knicks to be somewhat content after earning a split and probably drop one on Sunday but it doesn’t mean a thing. At some point we’ll have to consider pulling the plug on Chris Bosh and Jose Calderon and give that time to Jawai, Ukic and Banks so that proper eval...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., January 28,2009(AP) -- With Jose Calderon back in the lineup, the Toronto Raptors are hoping the second half of the season is a lot better than the first. Calderon had 17 points and 11 assists and the Raptors escaped with a 107-106 victory over New Jersey on Wednesday ni...

Opinion: Bargnani blasts Rockets

03 Jan 2009 00:34:41 PST

Written by Arsenalist
Bargnani kept Yao honest by taking it to the rim and getting fouled, driving on him for a dunk and then just for good measure, draining a long two and a three on him. Will Solomon had his best game as a Raptor and quarterbacked the team brilliantly through this crucial stretch. His court-vision...

Raptors Holiday Review

31 Dec 2007 11:28:19 PST

Written by Jeff W
Kinnon: I think Bryan Colangelo’s gonna have to look to make a trade, maybe a three-for-one (Graham, Baston, and Delfino) to get a player to come over who might be more consistent. With Delfino opting out of his contract, it’s doubtful that we’ll be able to re-sign him and Calderon.
