		Toronto began the game against the Bucks, shooting 1-12, and showed glimpses of Tuesday night’s disaster in Jersey, when they didn’t score their first points until the six-minute mark of the opening quarter.

	Toronto Raptors
		Toronto's other young star, the speedy Damon Stoudamire, ran the Raptors' offense with the precision of a crafty veteran, finishing sixth in the league in assists (8.8 apg) and 19th in scoring (20.2 ppg).
		It was a tumultuous season for the Toronto Raptors, but with a core of talented young players, a determined new general manager and ownership and the prospect of a new arena opening next February, Raptor fans should be optimistic about the future of basketball in Toronto.
		The Raptors were hoping to rebound from a disappointing season, and reclaim the success they achieved two seasons prior, with GM Glen Grunwald acquiring guard Lindsey Hunter from the Lakers, and forward Lamond Murray from the Cavaliers in two separate deals in the offseason.

		Toronto’s short-term cap situation will hinge on what the team does with free agent Mike James, who averaged 21 points and six assists per game on a stellar 47% shooting.
		The Raptors have the first pick in the draft, and the rumor mill has them selecting Andrea Bargnani, who basically plays the same position as Villanueva.
		Magloire is a Toronto native, so he might be a good fit, although he doesn’t strike me as a player you’d acquire if you are trying to build a Suns-like team.

		So it was no surprise to me when the 2006-07 Raptors got off to a 2-8 start and seemed doomed for another season of shame.
		Sam Mitchell deserves to win Coach of the Year because he pulled his ass out of that frying pan into that soothing winning breeze without appearing to crack much of a sweat and while continuing to be the best-dressed, suavest-looking motherfucker among the league’s coaching ranks.
		For all the warm, fuzzy feelings of this feel-good Raptors season, there is still a demon that needs to be exorcised — the memory of Vince Carter.

	Toronto Raptors preview \| CBC Sports Online
		When the Toronto Raptors finished their disappointing season in May with only 27 wins in 82 games, most observers expected new general manager Bryan Colangelo to make changes.
		No one on the Raptors is a liability on defence, but neither is there a player who can change a game and shut down the best players in the league — which means the scheme Mitchell comes up with will be key.
		Differentiating Toronto from Atlantic rivals Philadelphia, New York and Boston is complicated by the volume of changes made to the roster.
