Here's Doug Smith's game recap for the Charlotte Observer. Wait... what? Doug explains in his blog: He was "helping out a Carolina beat grunt who wanted to spend Thanksgiving at home."

Joey Graham might have played his way into the starting lineup Friday against Atlanta.

Jermaine O'Neal is optimistic he'll be ready to play on Friday, so I guess we might see him come off the bench.

RaptorTalk has an interesting quote from Bryan Colangelo in the latest issue of ESPN: The Magazine. He understands the importance of keeping Bosh happy in Toronto and is actively seeking opportunities to improve the Raptors' roster right now: "There are only three prize guys (in 2010), and we’re trying to keep one of them [Bosh]. I'm in the market to do something."

The RealGM Raptors forum presents MS Paint Sam Mitchell's Playbook. Even if you like Sam, this is comedy gold.

Did any of you get the Jose Calderon bobblehead the Raptors handed out at last night's game? That might be the most piss-poor-looking bobblehead I've ever seen — and if you've seen even a few, you know that's saying something. It looks like a Brian Scalabrine bobblehead. Who makes these atrocities and how can the Raptors pass these off without any apparent shame?

ClipperBlog breaks down Zach Randolph's Clipper debut.

I don't normally give two shits about basketball shoes, but Chauncey Billups' Thanksgiving Day kicks are pretty tight.

This link is 10 days old but I just caught it: The NBA's Most Depressing Players of 2008. No Raptors made the list, but I'd nominate Jason Kapono.

Another piece I should have posted earlier: Holly MacKenzie gives us a glimpse of the tense pre-game vibe in the Boston Celtics' locker room.
