Dino-links: Today’s Raptors news

• “You can call the Charlotte Bobcats a sad-sack if you like. But while the 4-year-old expansion team played the entire month of February without building a 10-point lead – and while the newest Raptor, Primoz Brezec, spent yet some time yesterday criticizing his former club for its recent slide into sub-mediocrity – it won its first game in March by a resounding dozen, 110-98, over Toronto’s hoopsters.” (Toronto Star)

• “With Bosh sidelined with a minor knee injury, the remaining Raptors seemed diminished by the burden rather than invigorated by the opportunity as they were blown out by the woeful Charlotte Bobcats 110-98 Sunday night.” (Globe and Mail)

• ” Chris Bosh made the trip to Charlotte last night, but did not play because of soreness in his right knee. An MRI revealed that there is no structural damage to the knee — which bothered Bosh in the pre-season — but there is some swelling and reportedly some scar tissue. ” (Toronto Sun)

• “Raptors centre Primoz Brezec was smiling as he sorted through tickets for friends and family members yesterday before his first game against Charlotte since being traded. But when asked about Bobcats coach Sam Vincent, Brezec’s demeanour quickly changed. ” (Toronto Sun)

• “If you watched the Raptors get historically manhandled on the backboards last night, if you saw them get beat 32-0 in the battle for second-chance points, the biggest such spread since the NBA began keeping the statistic in 1996, you’ve been asking yourself the obvious question: Will rebounding, or a lack thereof, be the death of this slick-shooting squad?” (Toronto Star)

• “Woodson is close to Larry Brown, who was said to be in Atlanta recently, raising speculation about Brown going to Atlanta in some role… Perhaps the biggest restricted free agent this summer will be Raptors point guard Jose Calderon. The Raptors say they’ll match any offer and probably must with T.J. Ford’s uncertain health, but figure the Bulls to be among a dozen teams chasing him.” (Chicago Tribune)
