I'll take rap for slam slam - NY Post

ONLY one thing is worse than getting something dead wrong, and that's not correcting the mistake immediately. A story in Sunday's column regarding the readiness of the Raptors for a Laker game portrayed Toronto coach Sam Mitchell as being unrehearsed and unaware Andrew Bynum was hurt.

Raptors report: Notes, quotes
--The Raptors have now won just one playoff series in their 13-year history. That came in 2002.

Raptors report: Getting inside
Everyone connected with the Raptors will now begin the painful process of self-evaluation, secure in the knowledge that no matter what they said or thought, it was proved quite conclusively they are not now as good as the Orlando Magic, let alone the top echelon of NBA teams

Rumor Mill
A report in the Cleveland News-Herald states that the Raptors probably will not make a move toward acquiring Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, who is currently in limbo with a lot of money left on his contract in Phoenix. Also factoring into the decision is the cost to get rid of Sam Mitchell, which is reportedly about $9 million. (updated: 05/04/2008)

Losing to the Magic in 5 games, well there's always next year. But today, well this is just heartbreaking.

In case you haven't already heard, Chuck Swirsky said today he will be leaving the Raptors organization and head back to Chicago, where he will become the r ...(more)

JC finally states that he wants the starting role:

From Doug Smith (possibly the best beat guy in all sports)

I see this as a good thing,  1. it shows he is team first but has the drive/ambition that is needed as well, 2. TJ has to go.

 I can see that sman1965 bothers almost every team on their message board. While trash talking is fun, just seeing this guys posts makes me fell like I am back in the 3rd grade.

I am proposing a boycott of any thread he starts, and to any posts he makes on other threads as well...

Maybe he will start to talk smart sports conversation or maybe he will jus ...(more)

I know Im not the only raptor fan who feels this way, in fact I dont think there are many fans in TJ's corner right now, and for good reason. Ford has gone from a great pass-first pg with incredible court vision to a crazed gun slinger who shoots his team into and back out of games. I noticed this disturbing new side of him against Orlando, and its been getting steadily worse since, last night ...(more)

The Raptors haven't found a way to use the league's best three-point shooter in Jason Kapono. But Rasho Nesterovic -- yes, that Rasho Nesterovic -- closed the season by scoring in double figures in 17 of his final 18 games.
