Raptors Report Week 17: Bosh-Less Raptors Get Embarassed
Posted: 28th February 2010 by Sachin Arora in NBA
It's been a long week for Jay Triano. Watching his team get dominated without his star player surely has been painful to watch for me, so I can't imagine Jay's pain.
I guess this show's how valuable Bosh really is to the Raptors, who got outplayed by some of the top teams in the league this week.
The Trail Blazers game wasn't really close. They had the lead practically the whole time, ...
Why the Best Move Is No Move for the Toronto Raptors
Posted: 16th February 2010 by Sachin Arora in NBA
Ahh, the trade deadline. One of the most fun and exciting times of the season. Heck, some people have even stopped mentioning the 2010 free agency. There are many teams that are looking to improve to contender status, and one of them are the Raptors.
However, I suggest that they do one thing, and that is nothing.
The Raptors are looking quite strong right now, and have won 10 out of the ...
Great Debate Over: LeBron James Is the Greatest Player on the Planet
Posted: 16th February 2010 by Sachin Arora in NBA
Hitting big shots down the stretch to defeat the Eastern Conference champs is just another day for LeBron James. After taking down the Orlando Magic right before the All-Star break, there was little doubt in my mind that he's surpassed everybody in the league to become the best player.
The Cavaliers currently sit atop the league at 43 wins and 11 losses. Now imagine what their record would be without LeBron. ...

Raptors Report Week Nine: Toronto Is the Hottest Team in the East
Posted: 27th December 2009 by Sachin Arora in NBA
The Raptors had a short week this week playing only two games, both against the Pistons, in a home and home series. The Dinos swept em away, extending their winning streak to a season high 4 games, and are looking better than ever.
The Raptors are finally starting to come together and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the streak keeps going. This team is hot, finally playing some defense, showing ...
Raptors Report Week Eight: Colangelo Is Great for Aquiring Players Too Late
Posted: 20th December 2009 by Sachin Arora in NBA
Well, here we are again.
After another week with the Raptors finishing with nothing better than mediocrity under their belt and after getting embarrassed traveling to Florida, the Dinos fought hard in two games and got the W's to finish .500 on the week. The team is definitely getting stronger, but once again it looks like the big offseason acquisition by the big man, Bryan Colangelo, ...
The 76ers have announced that Allen Iverson has accepted their one year contract offer.
What does this mean? It means that Iverson will hopefully finish his career where it started, where he became the great player he is. He will start and get his minutes and will be happy, at least until Lou Williams returns.
Though Iverson will have to share the ball with Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young, he will flourish ...
Raptors Report Week Five: The Schedule Is Getting Better
Posted: 29th November 2009 by Sachin Arora in NBA
Well, the Raptors' week this week was brutal to say the least.
After beating the Pacers at home, they got completely outplayed on the road by the Bobcats, and run over by the Celtics. They finally came home Sunday and took a loss to the Suns.
Record: 1-3
Performance on a Scale of 1-10: 4.5
Positives: Even after a second straight week of going 1-3, the Raptors still have some ...

Dunking is one of those things that require skill and finesse, and a guy like Shaq isn't going to make this list just because he can stuff the ball into the net using his big body.
