Believe it or not, the Raptors once again lost in disgraceful fashion last night. After clawing their way back to hold the ball for the game-winning shot, RESERVE point guard, Milt Palacio elected to attempt an off-balance, heavily guarded lay-up instead of calling a timeout. Same old Raptor story.

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.

The Raptors found themselves on the other side of ball Tuesday evening, and it couldn’t have come at a more crucial time. With their fan base losing faith in the rebuilding process, the team’s eighteen-point victory against the Nets was undoubtedly a welcome change. The Raps can credit the road-win to poor shot selection, untimely turnovers and a general inability to compete. Only this time it wasn’t them making the mistakes. It was their opponent, and more importantly ex-Raptor Vince Carter who kept coming up short.

Raptor Coach Sam Mitchell had some strong words prior to Wednesday’s 110-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. In clarifying Tuesday’s night’s rumored altercation with point guard Rafer Alston, Mitchell called out the Gund Arena cleaning crew for keeping a messy house.

Time and time again, Torontoist allegations against Vince Carter seemed too far-fetched to be true, even made up. Some columnists went as far as to praise Vince for his time spent in Toronto and sympathized with the Mama’s Boy for the media torment which he was constantly faced with. Torontoist, however, stood firm.

Not to be left out of our collective goodwill, athletes across the world have rushed help with aid to the tsunami-devastated regions of southern Asia. Following the lead of many tennis and soccer stars, the “Biggest Private Donation Ever” was submitted by F1 champion Michael Schumacher during a German telethon Tuesday evening. The Ferrari driver has pledged US$10 million to his country’s world-leading effort.

We at the Torontoist would like to apologize for how repetitive our basketball reports are becoming. As sorry as we are, though, it appears that nothing is changing.
