The Raptors season can be summed up into two words–only if. Only if this team could have kept play well after the all star break, only if Chris Bosh didn't have to get injured twice in the stretch run, only if Chris Bosh didn't miss that lay-up against Golden State, only if Bryan Colangelo didn't sign Hedo Turkoglu to a huge contract. Only if. The list goes on and on. The ...

The playoffs, my favorite time of the year! This year, the West was tightly packed with contenders and extremely competitive. The first round match-ups all should be competitive to an extent, and should be fun to watch. There are tons of sleeper teams in the West, and many upsets could be in the making.

Ahh, the playoffs. The best time of the year in sports. This year, the East is much weaker than the West, but you can't say that you are surprised. There have been many surprise teams in the East such as Charlotte, Milwaukee, and nobody thought the Nets would be so bad. The early favorites for the title seem to be the Cleveland Cavaliers again, but last year that didn't seem ...

Sunday night I attended the most painful Raptors game of my life. Watching from the stands, praying on the Raptors, nothing seemed to go right. The basketball gods have spoken, they don't want the Raptors in the playoffs. Or maybe that's just the NBA's commissioner, David Stern. The Raptors had an absolutely horrible week, getting destroyed four times in a row. This team is now one full game back from the ...

The Raptors 7th seed chances took a major blow on Sunday night. Their opponents, the Golden State Warriors, didn't have much to play for, but out-hustled the Raptors and outplayed them for most of the game. The Raps made a late push, but a missed layup in the dying seconds by Chris Bosh doomed the Raptors. They made a miraculous comeback, but it fell short, and the Raptors now sit ...

The Raptors' season has been filled with ups and downs, but in the end, it's looking like another underachieving, mediocre season. Going into the season, there was so much hope, with bringing in a completely revamped roster, and signing Hedo Turkoglu this team looked great on paper? Or did it? Hedo Turkoglu was always a pretty good player. Pretty good. But was he ever that great? Not really. Turkoglu is clutch, ...

Well, they are playing better. With urgency? No, but better. Chris Bosh has been playing with less urgency, he's been a lot less aggressive, and he hasn't been clutch when the team needs it. Jay Triano's philosophy of "letting the team play through it" has to stop. The Raptors beat the Timberwolves for their lone win of this week by six points. That was too close for my liking, since the ...

The NBA playoffs are coming up, and there are many chances for upsets this year. The bottom teams in the West are separated by very little from the top, and the bottom teams in the East have been on a surge lately, with an exception of the Raptors and Bulls. There are many teams who can pull off upsets and the contenders are praying that they don't land those match-ups. ...

It's about time that Chris Bosh broke 30 points. Bosh has been struggling lately, and same with the Raptors. Sure, it was against the Nets, but the Raptors got a big win. The Raptors took the win this week in a thriller against the Atlanta Hawks, and then got smacked by the Thunder once again. They got the easy win against the lowly Nets, and maybe that's what they need to ...

Chris Bosh couldn't have come back at a better time.  The Raptors are only two games away from being knocked out of a playoff spot, and have been bumped down to 6th  by the Milwaukee Bucks. Wow. The Raptors had another bad week, getting destroyed by the Rockets, beating the lowly Knicks, before dropping one at home to the 76ers. Hedo Turkoglu didn't play in the game against the 76ers, and this ...
