College of Sports Media Game of the Night: On Sunday the Toronto Raptors hosted a former player and tonight will be no different. Both former Raptors help the team reach the play offs. Public enemy number one, Vince Carter and the Orlando Magic were in town over the weekend and [...]
The Toronto Raptors announced today that Reggie Evans will miss the rest of the preseason with a left foot sprain. There is no specific target for his return – Hopefully he’s back for opening night. In the meantime, the already soft Raps get a little softer. As outlined today by [...]
For Raptors fans, the second pre-season game was undoubtedly better than the first. That’s not saying much, based on Toronto’s pathetic performance on Tuesday, but there were certainly encouraging signs. One night after giving up 65 first-half points, the Raps played impressive defense and held Philly to 35% shooting in [...]
Leadership is crucial to success in any team sport. Take a look at past championship squads and you’ll likely find “heart and soul of the team” players on each one. Kobe Bryant, for all his supposed flaws, brings intensity and passion to the Lakers every night, while Derek Fisher is [...]
With so many new faces in town (and a few of the same), here is one wish for each Toronto Raptors’ player: For Jose Calderon to turn the corner on the high screen. Instead of pulling up for the jumper, I’d like to see Jose go all the way to [...]
There is no doubt that Toronto Raptors fans are passionate about their team. Even in bad years (most years), attendance is high at the ACC, while their online presence rivals and surpasses almost every other NBA community. These fans are also quick to defend the Raps against criticism, usually from [...]
With Bryan Colangelo finally finished for the summer (unless the meaningless Marcus Banks deal eventually gets done), we can finally look towards the season. Still, even with a full roster in place, the kind of team we’ll see in Toronto is anybody’s guess. With that in mind, I asked my [...]
Yes, I know. I can hear it already: “Are you (bleeping) crazy?? JOEY (bleeping) GRAHAM?!” It’s true…He was maddeningly inconsistent and excruciating to deal with at times. His midrange jumper would come and go as it pleased, and he loved to channel his inner-Jamario and settle for those same jumpers. [...]
Pops Mensa-Bonsu has gotten plenty of love from Raptors fans. Since joining the team in March, he gave the team a spark off the bench, something that was sorely lacking most of the season. Pops rebounded well, too, and that’s the kind of player that fits somewhere on most teams. [...]
Now that Jarrett Jack’s signing is official, it’s time to take a look at the implications. First off, in my opinion, this signing had ZERO to do with Chris Bosh. Yes, Jack and Bosh were college teammates and best friends. Yes, I’m sure Bosh is thrilled to have his buddy [...]
