Playing like crap early...good job Raps
It is my fault for not posting yet in the blog- am at a friends so am going back and forth.
Let's go Raptors!!!!!!!!
They need someone who can shoot threes....the Nets just pile up the lane on D.
And VC is making a mockery of the Raps' D.
Sho and the and one! Whoosh!
Hey team- rebounds. How about you get some!![]()
Rough 1st quarter... Raps need to play our game and beat these punks.![]()
Raptors are getting their collective asses waxed.
I wouldn't know they're a playoff team if I was tuning in for the first time.
It will be very tough to win tonights Nets whitch are playing great.
Props to Boki.

So you think they have a chance?
On the start of the 4th quarter I thought, but now...I don't think so.
Sucks I hate the nets Kidd wife beater Vince Carter Cry Baby RJ well you know sissy.
Carter = 65% from the field
Kidd = Triple-Double, almost 20 assists
Raptors = out of playoffs if they don't man up
Watching Boki I feel an equal mixture of aggrivation and pride- the kid is just too good.
Next game is the Raptors win! And the next and the next!![]()

Rasho needs to play more. Unless the team is only interested in getting experience for next year and not worried about winning this one.
Hate to rain on your parade- Angel- but I thought I would warn you way in advance. Doug Smith is like the Raptors Johnny Ludden.
Chat with Doug SmithQ: Seems like everyone has Mo Pete leaving over the summer. Just wondering. Who else from this squad do you think won't be back next year, and are those spots going to be replaced by free agents, trades, or promotion from within (like maybe Uros Slokar)?
Illan Kramer, Boston
A: Next year's a long way off and we all know Bryan Colangelo loves to tinker so nothing's definite.
But I imagine Mo's gone, I think Pape Sow's gone, they would likely entertain offers for Joey Graham but Slokar's intriguing and I think worth keeping around. Other than that, they may look to move Rasho if they can get someone younger or if they think Bargnani's ready to be a starter but there isn't going to be any drastic change.
Colangelo's got the mid-level exception (likely about $5.8 million) and whatever he can do in a Peterson sign-and-trade so there is some flexibility.
All indications are that Andrea is supposed to start next year. That was the plan all along. And with a 23 year old and a 22 year old as your 2 starting big men, there won't be alot of back-up minutes. Given the possibility of playing Garbo off the bench and the development of some of the young guys, the Raptors could try to use Rasho's salary to trade for a SF of which they have a desperate need. Now, Rasho's contract keeps looking better and better for teams who want salary relief. He has 2 years left, but summer 2008 is a player option.
Also of note is the fact that TJ and Bosh have huge new contracts kicking in for next season. Just how much will a team spend for a guy who comes off the bench and plays limited minutes for certain match-ups.
One of the big appeals of the Raptors trade for Rasho was that his deal was shorter than a free agent's would be and they were looking for a temporary fix while Bargnani adjusted. Now, if the Raptors hold onto Rasho, I would be in no way surprised if he opted out in the summer of 2008 and signed a new longer deal at a much reduced first year rate. But right now they have a much greater need at SF.
What is with you and asses? Getting aroused?
The reason a Rasho trade would bother me now is I hate the idea of his life being disrupted again.
I want Sho to be in a situation where he is playing and is happy. Toronto has seemed like that sort of place so I hope it works out for him to stay there.
As for the play offs, I still have faith for the Raptors. We need to get this next win and go back to the fired up Canada crowd and win that one too.
After that we just need one more win, and the momentum will already be in our favor.
Dajmo Raptors.![]()
That's what I am always saying.![]()
"his life being disrupted again."
Rasho has tons of $$$ to insulate himself from the hassle of relocating.
Yes because adjusting to a new city and team mates and leaving behind friends has no effect whatsoever on a person.
