Background - Toronto Raptors
As the Toronto Raptors approached their scheduled home opener at the SkyDome on November 3, 1995, club President John I. Bitove could congratulate himself on having pulled off a remarkable achievement.
Bringing NBA basketball back to Toronto, where the long-forgotten Toronto Huskies had tipped off against the New York Knickerbockers in 1946, had been an arduous process, fraught with obstacle after obstacle. It had not been such a struggle a half-century ago, when the Huskies became a charter member of the Basketball Association of America, the forerunner of the NBA. In fact, Toronto had hosted the new league's first game on November 1, 1946, when the Knicks beat the Huskies, 68-66. The Toronto franchise folded at the end of the 1946-47 season, however, and the NBA wouldn't return to Canada for nearly 50 years.
The current franchise traces its roots back to April 23, 1993, when the NBA announced that it had received a formal application from Professional Basketball Franchise (Canada) Inc. (PBF). The ambitious group's president was Bitove, the son of a leading Canadian food services family and president of Bitove Investments Inc. (His father, John Bitove Sr., had approached the NBA about a franchise in Toronto during previous expansions.) The PBF group also included Allan Slaight of Standard Broadcasting Limited; Borden Osmak, a vice president of The Bank of Nova Scotia; Phil Granovsky of Atlantic Packaging Limited; and David Peterson, former premier of the Province of Ontario, who served as chairman.

Toronto Raptors 2008-09
|
The Toronto Raptors had high hopes at the beginning of the season. They were sure their international roster would be able to finish at least third in the Atlantic Division and return to the postseason with the fervor of their 2006-07 season. The addition of Jermaine O'Neal was supposed to give power forward a partner in the post.
Instead, the Raptors are sitting in last place in the division and are looking at a regression to 2005-06. The team has gone 19-28 and fans at Air Canada Centre are wondering what the Raptors have to do to make basketball a success north of the border. The club is average defensively and slightly below average offensively.
Point guard Jose Calderon has been injured, and the Raptors are hoping his return will inspire some much improved play as the season schedule brings the team closer to missing out on playoff tickets. Meanwhile, Bosh is doing all he can to hold this team together.
For this club to make it, though the key is Anthony Parker. Last season he was able to shoot a little better and extend the defense, now the team has few long distance options and teams are able to collapse on Bosh.
