The On Deck Circle

Had a brief paragraph in a discussion about the Raptors and the #5 pick in the draft. Nothing major. Check it out.

So the Raptors finish the season 1-12 in games I cover. Ouch. 22-60 overall. Ouch. Nobody declaring for the draft? Ouch. Can I find some bright spots? Check it out.

The Raptors stormed back in the second half to make a game out of what was, when I turned it on at halftime, a laugher. Still, an awful outcome, nothing unexpected at this point. Check it out!

The usual. Nothing to see here. But… Check it out!

Stepping in to do some pre-game work today, with questions looming large about a potential ownership change (from OTPP to Rogers, perhaps). Can the Raptors ignore this (probably) to beat the Bobcats (doubtful)? Check it out!

They finally won a game I covered! Woo! CP3 had one of his worst nights, and Jose Calderon lead the charge for the Raptors. Check it out!

After finally breaking the 13-game losing streak, the Raptors get right back to losing. Old habits die hard. Check it out!

The Raptors extended their losing streak to 12 games, and are now 0-8 when I’m covering a game. This time, Paul George and the Pacers did the damagae, as Bargnani and DeRozan combined to shoot 6/30. Ugh. Check it out!

Last night, the Raptors lost their 8th straight game. More importantly in the realm of streaks, their ridiculous 986 game streak of making at least one three-point field goal attempt came to an end. In the words of the Undertake, Resssst….Innnn….Peeeeeeeeeace. Check it out!

While The Raptors were hammered on the scoreboard for a second night in a row, LeBron James at least provided us a thrilling performance. Meanwhile, DeMar DeRozan continued his development as a serious scoring threat. Check it out!
