Lately – and frustratingly – the Raptors have been playing to their level of opposition. In tonight’s case, you hope it’s true.

They’ll also be seeking revenge after that bloodbath in Indianapolis just three weeks ago. The Pacers are coming ... Read More »

I can almost guarantee you that the Knicks will not come out as flat as they did against the Raptors just over a week ago. The Knicks are in a bit of a slump. They’re riding a three-game losing skid; and are coming off of a proper 125-91 shellacking in Indiana. “We didn’t show up,” Woodson said. “They whipped our ... Read More »

The last time the Pacers and Raptors met it was an ugly game. The Raptors came out with a victory but scored only 5 points in the fourth quarter, edging out the home team by a mere 2 points.

It was a strange, ugly win. Not as strange and ugly as the win in Indiana; but strange and ugly none-the-less. I’m going to break down the important points from the game below. Andrea Bargnani As strange as a performance as you’ll ever see from him. Just four points. Usually if Andrea Bargnani gets four points, you’d assume it was ... Read More »

The above picture is the fourth quarter shot chart. One field goal. Five points. Sounds a bit staggering, doesn’t it? The all-too-familiar fourth quarter lapse happened again tonight in Indiana; where the Raptors saw their 14-point lead spiral to just two thanks to some George Hill heroics and some offensive inefficiency. With over three minutes to go in the fourth, the ... Read More »

“It didn’t go our way but our guys fought,” coach Dwane Casey said. “Anyone who says we didn’t fight did not see that basketball game. It just did not go our way.”  A fort-night ago; the Indiana Pacers came into Toronto on opening-night and snatched a two-point victory courtesy of a George Hill game-winner. A night ago, the Raptors played an ... Read More »

“I’m proud of our team, I thought we showed more grit and spunk than we showed all last year,” Casey said. “Yes it hurts but there are so many positives I’m looking at against one of the top teams in the NBA.” I’m writing this piece today, with the sole purpose of gauging where we are after our first game of the ...

Raptors catch a break – no Granger tonight. Last night we got a chance to see Ray Allen get snubbed by his former team, then go off on them for 19 points off the bench. We also had the honor of seeing the Dirk-less Dallas Mavericks bring the new-look Lakers down to Earth. The NBA is back. On the brisk ... Read More »

The Raptors will tip-off the 2012-2013 NBA season at home against the Indiana Pacers on October 31st. Considering the busy off-season and the hype surrounding the newly innovated team; I’d expect it be quite an electrifying night at the Air Canada Center. From Raptors.com: The schedule features 12 home games compared to 19 road tilts in the season’s first two ... Read More »
