“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...

Happily for Raptors fans, statistics don't dunk

25 Oct 2009 01:30:00 PDT

The Raptors may indeed finish lower than sixth in the Eastern Conference – although it's a stretch to suggest they're a worse team than Miami or even Philadelphia, in the opinion of many – but to suggest that will occur after studying stats requires a grand leap of faith.

Looking Forward To An Exciting Raptors Season With The Top Ten Questions

23 Aug 2009 18:43:00 PDT

To be honest, I have not been this pumped about a Raptors season since before the Hakeem Olajuwon era was supposed to begin. Of course, that season was a major letdown that became the first step in dismantling the Carter-led Raptors, instead of the start of a projected Raptor dynasty.
