Raps 'Slip up' in home opener


Mo Pete falls during last night's game

The Toronto Raptors went into last night's game with

high hopes they had recently signed an above average player 'the

Game' who not only brought skill to the court, but fans also. The ACC was

packed for last night's game as many people wanted to see just what

Jayceon Taylor could do. And he didn't disappoint, he knocked in 22 points

in 29 minutes on 8-12 shooting [from the field] but his success didn't help

get the 'W' as the rest of the squad played like garbage. "I'm deeply

ashamed of the boys' tonight" Mitchell said. "We work so hard in the

offseason then go out their and play like 'chickens with their heads cut off'

. "We gotta get back to the drawing board before we play New Jersey" he

added. The ACC is expected to be packed tomorrow night as the Raptors

take on the Nets, and a special somebody .

-- Game Notes

106 @ 95

The Raptors go up 28-21 lead by Chris Bosh's 10 points. But Jared Jefferies and the referee exchange 'opinions'
With the change in officiating the Wiz take the second quarter 35-24 and now lead the game 56-52

Jayceon helps bring the Raptors a little closer as they win the 3rd quarter 28-25 but they still trail by 1 81-70

But Arenas and the Wizards were too much winning the fourth quarter 25-15 and the game 106-95

Points: Arenas 35 ; Taylor 22
Rebounds: Jamison 12 ; Villanueva 10
Assists: Arenas 11 ; James 6

Rumor Mill

Both Pape Sow and Loren Woods have discussed the need to be moved. Neither of them are very pleased with the minutes they got last game. Both centres combined for 1 minute . Among the teams interested in both centres services include Atlanta and New Orleans who have a lot of young players available.

Raps get it done
Bosh brilliant in Raps W


VC tries to create but it isn't enough to stop the energetic Raptors

Tonight Bosh proved to Vince Carter and the Nets that he is the new man

in Toronto and they don't need Carter anymore. Bosh scored 34 points in

50 minutes of play the game went into overtime and the energetic

Raptors took advantage of the fatigued Nets. A sold out crowd of 'VC-

haters' cheered everytime he missed, and he missed a lot shooting 7-24

for the game. Bosh had a season-night scoring 34, 14 rebounds, and

4 blocks. "I just played well, I had a lot of mismatches tonight" he said.

"We need to keep this up, and we'll win a lot this year" he added. The

Raptors now go on the road to face former Eastern Conference Champs,

Detroit Pistons.

-- Game Notes

[0W-2L] 93 @ 105 [1W-1L]

Toronto starts off well, leading 24-21 going into the second. Bosh led with 11 points.

The Raptors continue to push the lead and extend the lead to 14. Some of the benchers get a few minutes in to give players like CV31 a rest.

Don't count the Nets out, VC can still FLY! The Nets go on 12-0 run to win the quarter 31-11. They now lead 68-62.

The Raptors don't go without a fight they win the fourth 26-20 Joey Graham scored a season-high 17 points

Defence wins OT for the Raptors. They hold the Nets to five points and earn their first W of the year .

New Orleans/Oklahoma City, Raptors Strike a Deal


Today the Raptors front office has annouced they have sent Pape Sow, Loren Woods, and Jose Calderon to New Orleans in exchange for Speedy Claxton, Rasual Butler, and Brandon Bass.

Receives -



PG - Claxton SF - Butler PF - Bass

Receives -



PG - Calderon ; C - Pape Sow ; C - Woods


WHY Both center's wanted out of Toronto because of their lack of playing time. Jose Calderon was a solid point guard to match salaries. Claxton will take over the starting role from Mike James as he is a better passer and a more true point guard. Mike will help the bench with scoring. Rasual Butler added a much needed 3-ball shooter to our bench. Bass is a strong presence down low who will replace the Woods and Sow strength wise.

Former Finalists Way Too Much for T.O.
Eastern Powerhouse stomp Raps


Rip pumps his fist in apporval of the Pistons victory

This game was supposed to be an indication of where the Raptors stand in

the Eastern Conference. Instead Raptors tempers flared as they took a

beating from Rip Hamilton and company. New Raptor Jayceon Taylor and

first year Raptor Mike James got into a confrentation which saw Jayceon

being ejected. In a night that was supposed to be a step forward

[acquiring 3 new players] it turned out to be a discusting showing on the

Raptors part. The arguement between the two resulted in a shoving match

it happened in the second quarter. It started when they were trailing by 10

and Mike James took 5 quick 3's [missing all 5] Jayceon didn't approve

and told him "go sit on the bench, scrub". Mike didn't take kindly to this

and pushed 6'4" Jayceon saying "**** you, your contract is almost over".

The Game pushed James on the ground and tried to kick him but the ref

intervened. Game was ejected and Mitchell pulled James. The Raptors

are now officially at a crossroad, they need to get rid of one of these guys

and protect their core of Bosh, Charlie, Graham, and Claxton.

[1W-2L] 71 @ 91 [3W-0L]

Detroit starts off swinging, leading 27-18. Sheed led with 8.

They don't stop either, they win this quarter 27-10. Ben scored 11 points and 5 boards.

James chucks up a 3, which causes controversy as he went 0-5 in the game

Ofcourse Sheed had to get in on the action, he gets a T for pushing Joey Graham.
