		<title>Raptor Roadtrip &#8211; Ready for some fun in the sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been posting here as much as I would like to because my other &#8220;work&#8221; has taken precedence. I hope to change that but not before a little vacation. With March Madness around the corner, this seemed like the perfect time to head out on the road to catch a few Raptor games (something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heels @ The Game &#8211; Knicks v/s Raptors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its been a while since I did a liveblog from a game so I figured why not.
After a rough road trip the Raptors look to bounce back at the ACC. As of right now, Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu are a game time decision &#8212; safe to say this team needs to get back to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raptor Rave &#8211; Teaming Up Off The Court</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t they look dapper?
The Toronto Raptors held their annual Red Party event last night and I had the pleasure to attend thanks to @fortressman. This has been the flagship event for the Raptors Foundation (now called Team Up Foundation) over the last 15 years and while I have attended in the past, last night was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Toronto Raptors &#8211; 15 Year Collage [Contest]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the saying goes&#8230; A picture is worth a thousand words.
After holding a successful contest last month (pair of tickets), I decided to continue with the giving. This time, up for grabs is a &#8220;Digital Photo Frame&#8221; that was given to me as a gift for being a Raptors season ticket holder. The frame has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heels @ The Game &#8211; This one&#8217;s on you Coach!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every coach has a standard line they use &#8212; If you are playing well you are going to stay on the floor and if not you can warm the bench. Jay Triano went against that statement last night by putting Hedo Turkoglu (-22 at the time) in at the end of the game. Coach may [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christopher Wesson Bosh&#8230; The fans have spoken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The contest may be over but the debate lives on&#8230;
There were an overwhelming number of responses to the ticket contest, and most if not all the answers were well thought out. This just solidifies what we already know about the Raptors fanbase&#8211; Passionate!
I reached out to Raptor nation asking them to give their reasons why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raptors v/s Sixers Tickets &#8211; [Contest]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each year as a season ticket holder, I pick one game where I give away tickets to a deserving fan. I feel fortunate to take in the game experience and want to make sure that more people get a chance to do the same.
Last year I went with a simple, why do you think you [...]]]></description>

		<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>

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>

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>

		<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>

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.

		<description><![CDATA[I may have been gone from here for a bit but that doesn&#8217;t mean I abandoned the team. The Raptors have been rolling to the tune of a 5 game win streak. 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>

SI is reporting that the Philadelphia 76&#8242;ers have offered Allen Iverson a 1 year non-guaranteed contract. This may not be a great basketball decision int he long run but for a team that is struggling and needs a boost it seems to be [...]]]></description>
