…hope you all had a memorable Christmas break and are looking forward to the Spurs being mauled by the Dinos tonight.
Nice to read and hear that Colangelo is looking to shake things up a bit. Wonder if Jackie Moon is available. He might actually stand up for one of his teammates getting beat down. Failing [...]

There’s never a day off when you’re covering the Bulls’ beat. It was during Thanksgiving week of 2003 that the smell of blood in the water signaled the demise of coach Bill Cartwright. Big Bill himself had been promoted to head coach following a bizarre Christmas Eve resignation by Tim Floyd in late 2001.
Today, John [...]

Just a quick note from all of us here at Altraps to all of you to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Remember the spirit of the season and tell those you love how much you appreciate them and find some time to spend with them to celebrate that spirit, not just running to [...]

..the Raptors will surprise many and still come back home in 2008 with a plus .500 record.
Seems Tony Parker needs some more money for Christmas gifts, what with his wife sitting at home due to the writers strike. We all know he played sausage in the corned beef with mayonnaise on top with that [...]

A song that was running through my head as I watched our defensive effort against the Sonics….

Nice to see Kobe is finally heading to Chicago. Too bad it’s in a Laker uniform. You have to admire the Bulls fans, though. Like Knicks fans, they live and breathe with their team. Say what you want about Kobe as well, coming into the season he was hating on where he was, but individually, [...]

…first OJ and now this. Former Toronto Raptor Keon Clark has been rewarded a new sentencing hearing. Some drivel about not having representation at the first hearing. He does let go a shocker, though: HE NEVER PLAYED A GAME SOBER. He actually drank during games at halftime. Incredible. What a loser. Weed…booze…fornicating with Carlton the [...]

“This is my last season under contract and if I don’t do things well, next year I won’t clinch a good contract and will have to return to Europe”
So said Carlos Delfino, in an interview with Argentina newspaper Ole, at the beginning of October, three weeks before the Raptors season opened. Guess what Carlos, [...]

Seems to be a lot of hard hits going on around the league this season. If you are an undersized point guard, you should maybe look into extending your insurance. In Steve Nash’s case, you better keep a hotline open to your dentist. He may have also let his secret out as to how to [...]

Good quality game by the boys tonight. Amazing what a little crisp ball movement, some flashes to the bucket, and talking on the defensive end will do. I was ecstatic to see the Raptors actually talk to each other, call out screens and, most importantly, keep verbal tabs on Dirk all night. That is how [...]
