Toronto Raptors: Will Andrea Bargnani Be Shut Down For The Year?
Andrea Bargnani re-aggravated his calf injury on Sunday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s a shame because he just started playing well again. This is the third time Bargnani has aggravated his left calf, and it might be time to shut down the Italian 7 footer. Apparently the injury is a strain, indicating that [...]
TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: Bench Lifts Toronto Over Washington Wizards
It was a battle of the bottom dwellers, as the Toronto Raptors beat the Washington Wizards 99-92. This game was sloppy, slow paced, and very hard to watch at times. The Raptors held a slight lead throughout the entire game, and Washington failed to make a push and take over. There isn’t much to talk [...]
TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: Chris Bosh Hammers Raptors In Return To Toronto
Whenever the Toronto Raptors face off against the Miami Heat, they’re always extra motivated to take on the big 3. After 3 quarters, the game was tied at 83, and the Raps played their hearts out in this one. However, sloppy play in the fourth, bad officiating, and ultimately a superior Heat squad triumphed, defeating [...]
TweetReport: Jerryd Bayless Out For Rest Of Season
According to Raptors play by play announcer Matt Devlin, Jerryd Bayless will miss the remainder of the 2011-2012 season due to a partially torn left oblique muscle.

TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: Toronto Can’t Hold Off Chicago Bulls Late Surge
Everything was going so well. It was Canadian Forces night, the Raptors were rocking the new camouflage jerseys, and they were actually winning by 6 points after 3 quarters.

TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks Rip Toronto At MSG
Linsanity strikes again. This one wasn’t even close in the end as the New York Knicks slammed the Raps 106-87. Jose Calderon returned to the starting line-up, posting a solid 11 points and 9 assists, but wasn’t nearly as effective as Jerryd Bayless has been. However, tonight Bayless only received 13 minutes, finishing with 7 [...]
TweetToronto Raptors: Jose Calderon’s Return Sparks Another Point Guard Controversy
Jose Calderon practised in full on Tuesday, and is expected to start on Wednesday night. It appears to be the T.J Ford vs Jose Calderon debate all over again. Except this time, it seems that Calderon will be the odd man out. Jerryd Bayless appears to have an odd syndrome where he performs well when he’s inserted [...]
TweetLeandro Barbosa Traded To Indiana Pacers for Second Round Pick And Cash
Yeah, I know I’m late. After getting off my flight I checked for any deals, not expecting anything by the Raptors. However, to my surprise, Bryan Colangelo has dealt Leandro Barbosa to the Indiana Pacers for a second round pick in a deep draft and some cash for the organization (not for salary cap purposes). [...]
TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: Toronto Comes Up Short Against New Jersey Nets
Despite not having Deron Williams tonight, the Toronto Raptors fell to the New Jersey Nets 98-84. The Nets poured it on in the second half and never looked back, leaving the Raptors dismantled and distraught. Jose Calderon was absent once again, and it appears as if he won’t be returning for at least a week. [...]

Meaning he would like to be paid in the same range of centres such as Marc Gasol and Andrew Bynum. He must figure that centres picked up similar salaries last summer so [...]
