The On Deck Circle

The count is now at 1-16. The Raptors are 1-and-fricken-16 when I cover their games for RR. They lost by 36 to the Celtics even though Rondo sat out and The Big Three combined for just 66 minutes. Shoot me. But still….check it out.

The Raptors got hammered in an ugly one against the Hawks, but Milos Raonic was in attendance with his plastic girlfriend! Not much to discuss in terms of actual basketball, though Ed Davis is looking better. Check it out!

Doing pre-game for a change, to see if we can maybe avoid the Raptors terrible 1-14 record in games I do post-game coverage for. Still, I’m thinking the frontcourt dominance of the Jazz is too much for the Raptors to handle, even with Bargnani back. Check it out!

The Raptors are now 1-14 when I’m covering games for Raptors Republic. If they ever get competitive, I should probably quit, in the best interest of the team. Anyway, the post-game report is there. Check it out.

I got a puppy, named José. He is awesome but frustrating. Much to the chagrin of commenter John, I used his training as an analogy for this young, inexperienced, and frustrating Raptors team following an embarrassing loss to the Nets. Check it out.

I participated in a brief discussion about the Raptors and the lockout today over at Raptors Republic. Check it out!

A look at Eurobasket 2011, the 2011 FIBA Americas, the Las Vegas League, and some other options to bide your NBA-free time. Check it out!

No CBA = no Summer League. And it’s a shame for the Raptors, too. Check it out!

I took a look at what the Raptors roster and cap situation will look like if the entire 2011-12 NBA season is lost, but the 2012-13 one starts on time. This is depressing. Check it out!

Participated in a brief roundtable on what the Raptors should do in free agency this summer… Check it out!
