I hope you’ve all been looking forward to this as much as I have. In the midst of the regular season awards being handed out, we here at Raptors Watch are giving out our second annual imaginary award of Raptor of the Year. For those of you who don’t know, this award is given to the Raptor who played well ... Read More »
There were few surprises in yesterday’s annual season-ending press conference. There was the typical stuff from Colangelo and Casey that we hear every year, along with some comments that we’ve heard all season. “Our goal is to make the playoffs next season…. We’re on the right path”. Those were some of the typical Colangelo utterances . He also mentioned that ... Read More »
Well folks, this is it. The last day of the regular season and the last day the 2012-2013 Toronto Raptors will play. The Raps take on the Celtics at the Air Canada Centre tonight and look to win their 5th straight, while also being winners of 6 of their last 7 games. Hopefully the push to get better stays consistent ... Read More »
The Nets are playoff bound this year for the first time since 2007. They are also seeking a season series sweep of the Raptors as they fight for the third seed in the Eastern Conference. If they manage the sweep, it will be the first time in a decade that the Nets have managed to do this to the lottery-bound ... Read More »
The Bulls just looked too tired to compete with the Raptors tonight in Toronto. They were pushed to their limit the night before when they went into overtime against the New York Knicks, who were on a 13-game win streak at the time. The Raptors had an answer for everything the Bulls threw at them tonight. Chicago led by 2 ... Read More »
Last night, the Chicago Bulls snapped the New York Knicks 13-game win streak. Earlier this season, they also halted the Miami Heat’s 27-game tear. However, they have encountered trouble with the lower ranked teams rather than the better ones. They have defeated the four teams ahead of them during the past three weeks but, for example, lost to the Raptors ... Read More »
The Raptors are set to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at the Target Center and it feels as though the season may as well end right now. The Raps have become much less interesting to watch after they realized they wouldn’t be making it to the playoffs this season, as they almost appeared to stop trying as hard as ... Read More »
“It was hard, yes, very hard,” Calderon said Thursday. “Even if you knew it was coming because of the expiring contract and all the rumours the last couple of years—I never got the whole, 100 per cent confidence that ‘hey, you are our point guard, you are our guy’—I always put that aside and I was always like, ‘this is my home.’ “I ...

I’m going to start off by saying that the Toronto Raptors really don’t do a good job of signing players and using / grooming them properly. Terrence Ross and Jonas Valanciunas are examples – both rookies who have barely been given enough playing time to develop properly this season. Jonas – moreso than Ross – has been impressive in his limited ... Read More »
The New York Knicks officially clinched a playoff spot after defeating the Toronto Raptors last night at the ACC. We were hoping that the Raptors could have spoiled the party last night and steal a third straight victory over the Knicks – but they just couldn’t get stops against Carmelo’s offensive discharge. Despite clinching a playoff spot, the Raptors can ... Read More »
