The Raptors have reached the halfway point of the season, and almost every news outlet in town has been engaged in the mid-season ritual of handing out report cards. Jose Calderon gets top marks across the board, and deservedly so. His name is even being mentioned as a potential reserve selection for the All-Star Team. Of course, on his own blog and in interviews, Jose has tried to remain humble about the whole thing. That's......

In the best campaign commercial since HuckChuckFacts, Chris Bosh has assumed the identity of a Texas used car salesman in order to try to drum up votes to make it to this year's NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans.

We'd like to start this week's run-down by wishing a very happy birthday to parent blog Gothamist, which turned four on Friday. If it wasn't for them, the rest of us wouldn't be here.

With confused fans wondering 'why in the heck?' Torontoist offers not one, but two reasons to take in tonight's game. First off, as with any funeral, loved ones come......

How was Vince Carter’s return to the Air Canada Centre this past Friday night? Torontoist doesn’t want to talk about it. With that out of the way, we will focus on the Raptors follow-up performance last night. Both Torontoist editor Josh and the Adorable Sports Writer were on hand to witness yet another Toronto defeat. The Atlantic-Division leading Boston Celtics handed it to the Raptors 103-98. With all the losses this season, Toronto fans are......

Although the Raptors are only 4.5 games out of the final playoff spot, and 6 games back of the division leading Boston Celtics, the hopes of a playoff birth should realistically be dropped. Following Toronto’s win over the Orlando Magic at the Air Canada Centre last night, the optimism was once again running wild. "It's impressive the kind of balance we had.
