24 -23, raps keep rolling! 5 or 6 guys in double digits! They are playing sound all around team ball. Now, the thing is, teams for sure after the all star break will be gunning for them instead, especially Mr Bosh. The rest of the team has to really step it up and keep the flow going. Second half is going to be super key until the playoffs!

Yes sir ^.

The last time the raps were above 500 was January of 2004.

Yesterday's game was pretty good, they looked solid throughout the game.


They must continue to succeed in free throw.

Impressive and well deserved. We were talking at the barber shop this morning about the Rap's and one of the guys said he heard VC wants to come back to TO. I hope thats a total rumour, I never want to see him in Raptor colours again.

Double_B

Of course he wants to come back, who wouldn't if the team you got traded to is losing, the team you use to be on is winning and has a great core of players. VC is weak, and unwilling to be a team player imo. His offense is good, but his D is lacking. As far as him coming back, that rumour has been going on for a long time and no way that happens with Colangelo running the show. There are rumours that they are looking to move Carter because his contract is expiring and he as a walk out clause in it.

f...vince carter... if your gf f&^&*ed another guy in front of you (the fans) woud you want her back? HELL NO!!!! screw vc and his whiny baby antics .. raps gonna take the division !!!

Image if the guy had heart, his potential would have been unlimited. IMO, VC is a coaster.

Jay P

he did back in 01-02 great playoff series against philly... 1 shot away from the conference finals....

one of the only times i could say he played his heart out.

AI dropped 50 on the raps and VC came back with 50 on the 76ers....

Double_B

Raps win again! Shot 70% at half time, Garbo was knocking the lights out from 3 stripe and Calderon and TJ were great from the point. Team is looking tight.

7 players in double figures, this TEAM is hot!

Jay P

picked a great game to go to lol... raps were SOLID and played 4 qtrs of great basketball... everytime the clippers attempted a comeback the raps shut em down


bargnani had a couple of SICK dunks

LETS GO RAPTORS!

well this is not about the NBA,im just wondering if anyone in the Scarborough area(or near) that know where you can actually play some indoor ball for free/small fees? just to get a few runs in,any open gym/school and such.

Anybody lubed the wheels on the bandwagon yet, cause I see that it's starting to get a little crowded.

I like the fact that NJ is starting to melt down. But look out for NY.

imported_JoonyaSI

i think its around Greenwood / Danfroth area my boys play there on wednesdays ..

Double_B

Yep, like I said before, they are coming up quietly. And any of the three have a good streak, they can take over first. Raps gotta keep playing good ball. Second half should be interesting.

imported_JoonyaSI

GOOOOOOOOOO RAPPPPPPPS !

i think i am the official Driver of this bandwagon ..

im scouting for a navigator .. i nominate B

also need a scooper.. incharge of grabbin ppl off the road as we drive on by the dirt roads of toronto ...

a few hypemen might also be needed...


all others need not apply for now ..

Double_B

No doubt T, you been propping them from day 1 and I believed they would make the playoffs, but didn't think they would gel this quickly. Also said the diff would be the coaching as they had the players they needed, my hat off to Mr Mitchell on doing a great job to this point.

They are definitely fun to watch and the hottest team in the east so far.!

imported_JoonyaSI

yea i thought it woulda taken a bit longer .. but with everyone pretty much at 100% now the raps are solid ... more fastbreak points and still killing points off the bench is key .. def gonna be an interesting 2nd 1/2 to the season .. speakin of which have they announced the dunk contest contestants yet ?

Double_B

I don't think so, but whats his name from Philly said he is not going to compete in it. Igudala?

imported_JoonyaSI

yea he said he admits that it takes extreme crativity to win these days and said that hes gonna leave it to the younger guys to do .. hehe .. coudlnt agree more .. i mean by 2010 ur gonna have dudes being dropped outta the roof of the stadium to dunk im sure lol ..
