		<title>Raptor Rave: Taking A Moment To Appreciate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
50 games in the books. Crazy.
The Toronto Raptors held fan appreciation night this past Wednesday, though logistically, it would make more sense to do this at the end of the season. I am pretty sure they planned this after the Vince Carter trade but the game they chose was v/s the New Jersey Nets. Yes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just when you thought this team was getting things together on both ends of the floor, they come up with a game like tonight.
The home and home series has been a common occurrence in the NBA schedule this season. The 2nd game is always a tough get. With the Raptors riding a 5 game win [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heels @ the Game: Pacers v/s Raptors &#8230; Mouse in the House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Small ball stymied the Raptors the last time these two teams faced off against each other. The Pacers were able to rally from a 23 point deficit using the approach and the Raptors ran out of time to make adjustments.
Things were different this time around. The Toronto Raptors were prepared and even though the Pacers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heyyy Woorrrld: Dwight Howard does his best Chuck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fans of the NBA have grown to love the personality that Dwight Howard exudes. He takes the time to connect with his fans on multiple platforms and doesn&#8217;t make it look like a job. He is having fun with it and last night was an example of him doing just that. He was on air [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heels @ The Game &#8211; Mavericks vs Raptors&#8230; Halfway Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The media frenzy that surrounded Bosh this past Friday in NYC, shifted over to Bargnani on Sunday. This seems to happen twice a season when Bargnani gets set to face the player most compared him to pre-draft. With Bargnani playing the best basketball of his career, this is the first time I feel the Dirk [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heels @ The Game: Courtside&#8230; Now that&#8217;s &#8220;G&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being a Raptors season ticket holder, I am usually down at the Air Canada Center twice a week. Yesterday was different though. The good folks at Gatorade Canada (@GCanada on Twitter) invited me to take in the Raptors/Celtics game from their courtside seats. I jumped at the opportunity because chances like this don&#8217;t come often. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raptor Rave &#8211; &#8220;Bend but don&#8217;t Break&#8221; Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Winning 7 of their last 8 games, one can say the Toronto Raptors are on somewhat of a roll here. The last 2 have come against formidable opponents and in each game the team relinquished a substantial lead but held on for the win. Sure fans should be concerned that they are still blowing leads, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a minute but Ian is back with one of his cartoons. For those who have RaptorsTV the cartoon needs no introductions, but if you are left scratching your head, a little reference point&#8211; The Cartoon was inspired by a Raps TV commercial that ran about 3,897,4235 times over the last 2 years.

While there have been a lot of positives, fans need to be careful with their expectations going forward. They have improved but all [...]]]></description>

The past 2 games have been great to build on but it takes 3 in a row to call it a win streak. These are the games this team has to win in order to stay on par [...]]]></description>

I have been attending Raptor games for 10 years and as far back as I can remember, they have had a variation of the free slice of pizza promo. It usually goes, if the team scores 100 points or more you get a free slice of pizza the next day. During the [...]]]></description>

0-16 is nothing to be proud of but Lawrence Frank never stopped coaching&#8230; until today. It was announced early Sunday that Lawrence Frank was relieved of his coaching duties while the team was preparing to take on the Los Angeles Lakers. This was not a [...]]]></description>

The 4 game road trip hardly turned out the way the team would have liked it to. With Hedo and Antoine Wright jumping in and out of the line up, the team dropped 3 of the 4 games. The lone win was hardly convincing as they clawed [...]]]></description>

Coming back from a West Coast road trip, this could have played out like a trap game. The Bulls were tired after losing a heart breaker the night before and the [...]]]></description>

 Rajon Rondo cashed in to the tune of 5 years $55 million this week. I guess along with the fat wallet comes a bigger mouth. Apparently he felt the need to do some trash talking about Chris Paul [...]]]></description>
