Chris Bosh THE Raptor!

Now I don’t follow basketball super closely but I do follow Canada’s only NBA franchise the Toronto Raptors. This is due to two reasons.

Phoenix Suns = Austin Powers?

TJ Ford what were you thinking?

The Toronto Raptors who were on quite a roll (beating the Magic, Lakers and Nets) lost there first home game in eight games last night. And why? Did they have a chance to win? Sure they did. Bosh should have / could have caught the defensive rebound and made it a […]

The Boston Celtics Are Really, Really Bad

Just when you think that things can’t get worse, hey, they do, with the Celtics dropping a franchise record 14 straight games:
For most of the NBA’s 60 years, Celtic pride has been about winning: 16 championships and three other appearances in the finals, forming a tradition of success that was the hallmark of the league.
