I know, its still early to preview the East, since many free agents still remain unsigned and there is still talk of some teams looking to make some major moves (ie/ McGrady to Detroit etc).  However, with the start of summer league action underway, all of the major unrestricted free agents signed, and the Raps all capped-out, its time to look forward to the fall - to get a sense of where this team fits (as it is constructed right now).

15 losses in the last 21 game is not the kind of streak the Raptors want to be on heading into the playoffs. In what started as a promising season, things have fallen apart rapidly. At a time when confidence should be high, a solid rotation is set, people know their roles, the offense is hitting on all cylinders, you are able to make a solid stop or two on the defensive end, and the team is generally getting along, things couldn’t look more bleak for the Raps.

So, I had a lot of time to think about this game before writing my summary. I have to say it once, because it is the greatest achievement that Smitch Sam Mitchell has attained as the head coach of the Raptors.

Quality win for the Raptors. Not a must win, but it really was. Can’t be losing to teams who aren’t .500 at this point. Can’t get excited over this win, but I am for one reason: the Hawks went on a 13-2 run to start the 3rd, and the Raptors responded with a run of their own to take a lead into the 4th. You read it, the Raptors withstood a serious run, retook the lead, and held on for the win. Continue Reading

The Toronto Raptors (21-18) host the Atlanta Hawks (17-18) Friday night at the ACC. The Raptors won the first meeting of the two clubs 100-88 on December 10th in Atlanta. It was the last time Raptor fans saw TJ Ford suit up. Ford scored a game high 26 points before being fouled hard by Al Horford. Ford has missed the last 17 games. Continue Reading
