  This picture doesn’t speak about the game, but it is bloody awesome. Raptors 94, Pistons 64 – Boxscore This game went down exactly how I said: the Pistons came out guns blazing from the tip, the Raptors weathered the early storm then put them away. This was what we wanted to see from our boys, facing an injury ...

  Need4Sheed.com — Authority: 503
  The 11-17 Pistons are hosting the 13-17 Toronto Raptors for the second game of a back to back. One thing that is on the Pistons side is that they have won 11 straight home meetings against the Raptors. Things not on Detroit’s side…injuries. Injury Repot ” Ben Gordon has been put on the active list for ...

• The Pistons lose another courtesy of The Bobcats

  
  Need4Sheed.com — Authority: 503
  This may have been the most discouraging loss in quite some time for the Pistons. It wasn’t because they lost the game at the buzzer, it wasn’t a  great outing gone bad, it was simply just a hard game to watch from a tired, beat up, rundown, undermanned Pistons squad. Don’t get me wrong, the Bobcats had a lot ...

  If all it takes to earn a reputation for toughness is a couple of confirmed badass stories that can morph into tall tales in due time, Dirk Nowitzki might be on his way to shedding that “soft” label he’s had hung on him for years by his harshest critics. In the second quarter of Mavs/Rockets, [...]

• Raptors Roll Call Dec 18 vs Nets

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “phew, that was close” edition. Banks – tell me you weren’t shocked when he hit those 3s early. For a guy who takes a lot of stick in these parts, it was satisfying to see him have a good game. Bargnani –  good game from the pasta pusher. Did a great job in making Lopez think and, in turn, foul. ...

• Raptors Roll Call Dec 16 vs Magic

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “where first round matchups come to die” edition. Banks – call me crazy, but the guy could turn into an okay back up. He’ll never be flashy, he’ll never be consistent, he’ll make you want to throw stuff, he has that lost look in his eyes……and he is a perfect representation of this basketball ...

• Mind-set of Hedo Turkoglu, 2009 unrestricted free agent

  
  khandor's sports blog — Authority: 428
  This evening’s game between Toronto [11-16/.407, 2nd Atlantic] and Orlando [18-6/.750, 1st Southeast] marks the first occasion for the “Turkish Michael Jordan” to make a return visit to his old haunt in the Magic Kingdom. As the former “go-to, clutch time” performer for last season’s squad in ...

  With last night’s 16th loss of the season … Toronto Raptors 95 MIAMI HEAT 115 Game Summary the most important question for the Toronto Raptors is: Q1. Should this team, as constructed, be expected to improve substantially over the course of the next 55 games, or not? A1.  Well … PART ONE This is ...

  Dime Magazine (www.dimemag.com) : Daily NBA News, NBA Trades, NBA Rumors, Basketball Videos, Sneakers — Authority: 668
  Having been given a few years in the League to develop—and for some, that was a few years too many—these once projected gems, have surely not helped their GM’s resumes. For each of these players, their expectations—either be when they entered the League or were given a generous contract—have been high at one ...

• The Mask of Jordan

  
  Dime Magazine (www.dimemag.com) : Daily NBA News, NBA Trades, NBA Rumors, Basketball Videos, Sneakers — Authority: 668
  Whether there’s any truth to it or not, Kobe Bryant has always been accused of trying to be Michael Jordan. When he chose #24, they said he was literally trying to one-up The G.O.A.T. When he plays hurt or sick, they say he’s trying to re-create the Flu Game. When he hits a game-winner, they [...]

• Raptors Roll Call Dec 15 vs Heat

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “to reply to this meeting request, click here” edition. Banks – he may be unfairly ridiculed, given that he never complains about his role and comes ready to play. Problem is, his level of play isn’t at the NBA standard. If you are a PG on a team with only one other healthy PG and you STILL have guys ...

  Houston Rockets [10-13] 88 TORONTO RAPTORS [11-15] 101 Box Score One of the beauties of basketball is that there are almost always different ways to accomplish a specific goal. If the Raptors use the player rotation which they employed yesterday: ROLE PG OG SF PF C ...

• A Full 48

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  Raptors 101, Rockets 88 – Box The Raptors gave as close to a full 48 minutes as we’ve ever seen. Yesterday against the Rockets, the Raptors solidified themselves as one of the most interesting teams in the league, since you don’t know which squad you are getting from a game-to-game basis. In a masterful ...

• Raptors Roll Call Dec 13 vs Rockets

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “we just want to show our home fans that we care” edition. Banks – 5 minutes of back up duty that amounted to nothing. The Raptors are getting as much out of this guy as they would a fire hydrant in the desert. Bargnani –  things always go well when he attacks the hoop early. Absolutely love to see ...

• Raptors Roll Call Dec 11 vs Hawks

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “we just want to show our home fans that we care” edition. Banks – back to the bench. Sadly, probably the right move. Bargnani –  offensively, a solid game. Completely different look to his demeanour tonight and it even included the return of the lean-in-for-the-shooting-foul move he perfected on ...

  The word “benchmark” has the following  definition : bench·mark   (b nch märk ) n. 1. A standard by which something can be measured or judged: “Inflation . . . is a great distorter of seemingly fixed economic ideas and benchmarks” (Benjamin M. Friedman). See Synonyms at standard ...

  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “if Roko makes you look silly, you probably are” edition. Banks – at least I now know why his shoulders are so muscular: they have years of having to prop up a flailing career based on broken promise. Sir, Roko Ukic slapped you with his purse tonight. Bargnani – Belinelli – Great game ...

• Raptors Roll Call Dec 8 vs Timberwolves

  
  Raptors Republic - ESPN TrueHoop's Raptors Blog — Authority: 139
  The “never underestimate the power of Love” edition. Banks – over a couple of Roll Calls I suggested maybe it was time to unleash Marcus and see what he can give us. Evidently the answer comes in two parts: he has perfected the “airball three” to perfection during his time on the bench and other than ...
