It’s about 36 hours to tipoff, and as I’m writing things, there’s a strange feeling coming from the press. The Toronto Sun’s Steve Buffery has predicted the Raptors to finish first in the Atlantic… As has Doug Smith (it’s buried in a mailbag somewhere)…. As has Michael Grange… And yet, just about [...]

This past week was all about the draft, picking the right players and getting them into your lineups for the open of the season. Here’s a list of some of the players who were grabbed in the later rounds. There’s a good chance that they might be at the end [...]
Wade 3 - Rebirth of Converse
Usually when we think of shoes we think of Nike, Adidas, and Reebok. Of course, other shoe companies have been around, but they’ve never quite gotten the same amount of attention that those big three have. Converse, it can be argued, hasn’t had a high profile since they had (pre-choking incident) Latrell Sprewell [...]
Preseason Recap: Raptors vs Wizards 98 - 64
It’s nice watching TJ do his best “Jose” imitation. With 8 assists last night and no turnovers, few shots (due to a bad shooting night) and 4 steals, TJ’s played with some poise, recognizing that if his shot isn’t good, there’s plenty of others that can and will make the shot. It’s this [...]

Preseason Recap: Raps vs Cavs 111-78
Preseason is just preseason. It’s not real play.

J.R. Smith: One More Mistake from Done?
Last Wednesday I watched the Denver Nuggets play the Detroit Pistons. Of course I was hoping to watch Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. However, of greater interest to me was watching swing man J.R. Smith. The last time I saw Smith he was arbitrarily jacking up three-pointers and getting pulled from a playoff game and [...]
Preseason Recap - Raptors vs Bulls: 92-82
For two games now, the Raptors have had to figure out how to play as a team without Chris Bosh. It was in this preseason game that we could finally start to see the fruits of their hard labour. For the little amount that the starting lineup (minus Bosh) was in the game, [...]
Wanna Win A Raptors Shirt?
To a cheapskate like me, NBA gear is seriously out of my price range. So I went out and bought some iron-on sheets with the intention of creating my own Raptors fan T-shirt. Months later, those sheets are still sitting on top of my printer.
So I asked FanboyGear.com what it would take to get a [...]
