On the heels of an ugly yet effective Raptors performance in Indiana and the heels of an all around crazy back-to-back against the Jazz and Pacers, Drew Fairservice, Scott Carefoot and I got together to discuss Jose Calderon’s performance, DeMar DeRozan’s surprising play, Jonas Valanciunas’ lack of minutes, Andrea Bargnani’s lack of everything and Scott even fires up the trade machine.
So let’s bask in the glow of a 2-6 record for a few days and enjoy a half-hour of colourful Raptors talk.
Fresh off of the Raptors’ first win of the season, Drew Fairservice, Scott Carefoot, Oliver Macklem and I got together for another installment of RaptorBlog Radio.
We touch on the first week and first win of 2012-13, DeMar DeRozan’s contract extension and early play, Kyle Lowry’s awesomeness, Andrea Bargnani’s not so awesomeness, Jonas Valanciunas’ first three NBA games and Dwane Casey’s early rotation, as well as briefly looking ahead to the week that will be in Raptor Land.
RaptorBlog Radio producer Oliver Macklem and I joined host Drew Fairservice to preview the 2012-13 Raptors season ahead of the team’s opener Wednesday night against the Pacers.
Included is an interview with Dwane Casey to set the table for what we’re all hoping is an exciting season in Toronto.
On Monday, Scott, Oliver and I got together to discuss WalkingBootGate and to catch up with new Raptor Landry Fields.
Fields joined us for a quick discussion about Jonas Valanciunas, Landry’s role on this Raptors team, his durability (he’s one of only six NBA players to suit up for every game in each of the last two seasons) his off-season work, and Scott even got to the bottom of “Wrestle Wednesdays.”
Here’s a special pre-camp edition of RaptorBlog Radio:
Is this the greatest in-game photo of Valanciunas you've ever seen?
With the first of the two Olympic teams we’re focused on getting things under way at 6am ET this morning, you might understand why I don’t have an Olympic thoughts post for this evening.
But if the comments section is any indication, you guys have been wanting another installment of RaptorBlog Radio for a while, and here at RaptorBlog, your wish is our command.
In this edition, we touch on the Raptors (specifically Jonas Valanciunas) performances in London, the current makeup of Toronto’s roster, the outrage over Landry Fields’ contract, some late thoughts on Summer League, as well as the Atlantic Division as a whole. We even answer some questions that Scott solicited over twitter earlier on Tuesday.
And don’t worry, RaptorBlog Radio wouldn’t be complete without someone pissing Scott off about Amir Johnson.
So without further ado, here’s the newest episode of RaptorBlog Radio:
