... so, yeah. Go Raptors!

Probably the best off-season out of any team except the Bulls. Bryan Coangelo in his first year landed high caliber starting talent at the two most difficult positions in the NBA, Center & Point Guard.

I look forward to what this team can put together in the 2nd half of the season once they warm up to each other.

[Matthew]

Lol, Bargani is "starting talent" at centre? maybe in 3 or 4 years...

[Cable]

No silly, he was talking about Nesterovic!

What was wrong with the old Raptors thread?

Anyway, I read that Bosh has been working on his threes, much like Garnett has been (as stated in the other thread). I always thought Bosh was capable of knocking down the long ball, I remember one game during his rookie season against Houston he nailed the game winning three...

What was wrong with the old Raptors thread?

I agree. I'll bump it up when I have something relevant to say. Please ignore the irrelevancy of this post

What was wrong with the old Raptors thread?

I just wanted to start a new fresh thread, instead of having one that is around 13pages already and by the time the first game is played, it will probably be 15-16 pages long.

The Raptors won their first pre-season game against Washington; hopefully a good sign of things to come.

You can read about it on Swirsky's blog on raptors.com

I was over at the RealGM Raptors board and the game thread was CRAZY I tells ya!

125 pages!!

[lassen24]

Yeah I was on the RealGM thread too. That's intense for a preseason game that's not even televised. I'm really impressed with the fact that we played a washington team that's been together for a few years, and we managed to beat them. Plus.......
BOSH FOR DA 3!!!!!!!!!

Wow Fred Jones scored the most points, seems like a good pickup. Looks like they used a huge rotation, everyone got basically over 10 minutes of game time.
