1995/96: It only seemed appropriate as Toronto hosted the first game in BAA
history on November 1, 1946, as James Naismith the inventor of the game was a
Canadian. The Toronto Huskies would lose that first game to the New York
Knickerbockers 68-66. The Knicks would go on to be a cornerstone of the league
that would soon become the NBA, but the Huskies would fold after just one
season with a 15-45 record. The NBA would not return to Canada for nearly 50
years. When it did return it brought two expansion teams the one in Toronto
would be called the Raptors trying to capitalize on the dino-mania after the
release of "Jurassic Park". The Raptors played their first game on November 3rd
beating the New Jersey Nets 94-78 at SkyDome. Their would not be much success
that first year as the Raptors finished last in the Central Division, with a
record of 21-61, as they split two games against Canada's other expansion team
the Vancouver Grizzlies. However, the highlight of the season had to be their
stunning win on March 24th when the beat the Chicago Bulls, who were in the
middle of a record shattering 72-10 season, 109-108 at SkyDome. However, win or
lose one player was always exciting as Damon Stoudamire won the Rookie of the
Year with 19.0 pp and 9.3 apg.
95-96:在BAA的历史中,由多伦多来举办1946年十一月一号的开幕式是相当合适的,毕竟篮
球的发明人James Naismith是加拿大人。当时多伦多哈士奇队以66比68输给了纽约尼克队。
之後尼克队成为了这个即将成为NBA的联盟的基石,而哈士奇队却以15-45战绩结束了它只有
一季的生涯。近50年NBA没有回到加拿大这片土地。直到两支扩张球队的到来,多伦多利用
侏罗纪公园播出後所带来的恐龙热将球队命名为暴龙队。暴龙队在1995年十一月三号於主
场SkyDome以94比78击败了纽泽西篮网队。他们并没有在第一年取得多大的成功,并以
21-61的战绩在中央组垫底,当时他们与另一支加拿大的扩张球队温哥华灰熊队战成1比1平
手。然而,这季的重点就是一场在三月二十四号以109比108在主场SkyDome击败芝加哥公牛
的胜利,公牛本季战绩为72-10。Damon Stoudamire以场均19分及9.3助攻拿下了新人王。
1996/97: In their second season the Raptors experienced allot of highs and lows
beating NBA elite teams like the Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, and Houston Rockets
who all made it to their Conference Finals while losing three times to the
Boston Celtics who had an awful record of 15-67. Such inconstancy is the mark
of a young team and the two top young stars on the Raptors were Damon
Stoudamire who led the team with 20.22 ppg, while rookie Marcus Camby made the
all-rookie team while averaging 14.7ppg and 6.3 rpg. However, despite all the
promise the Raptors could not avoid last place as they posted a record of 30-52.
96-97:在他们的第二个球季,暴龙队经历了许多起起伏伏,他们击败了一级强队像是芝加
哥公牛队、犹他爵士队还有休士顿火箭队,即使他们也输给了战绩只有15-67的波士顿赛尔
提克队三次。这样的不稳定是年轻球队的特徵,暴龙队的两位顶级新星是场均20.2分的球队
得分王Damon Stoudamire跟获选新秀队一队场均14.7分及6.3篮板的Marcus Camby。然而,
尽管暴龙队是这麽的有希望,还是免不了交出30-52的战绩。
1997/98: After two seasons of optimism things fell apart for the Raptors. The
troubles started early in the season with a slew of injuries to Popeye Jones,
Marcus Camby, Carlos Rogers, Walt Williams and Zan Tabak, which led to an early
17-game losing streak, which buried the Raptors in the first part of the
season. The struggles as well as an ownership change led Executive Vice
President Isaiah Thomas, whom many considered the heart and soul of the
organization, to severe his ties with the team. As the season wore on the
Raptors even severed ties with their young budding star Damon Stoudamire as
they traded him to the Portland Trailblazers along with Walt Williams and
Carlos Rogers for Kenny Anderson, Gary Trent, Alvin Williams, a couple picks
and cash, after Stoudamire indicated he would not re-sign following the season.
The Raptors were not done trading yet, as they sent Anderson, Popeye Jones and
Zan Tabak to the Boston Celtics for rookie Chauncey Billups, Dee Brown, Roy
Rogers and John Thomas. With all the tumultuous changes it was not surprising
that the Raptors struggled finishing in last place with a horrible record of
16-66.
97-98:在两季的乐观之後,暴龙队开始嚐到了一些失败。这些问题是由季初一连串的伤兵
开始,伤兵包括了Popeye Jones、Marcus Camby、Carlos Rogers、Walt Williams及Zan
Tabak,这导致了季初的17连败,连败也使暴龙队在这季的一开始就沉没了。经营权的改变
同时也是个问题,它导致了执行副总经理Isaiah Thomas(当时团队的中心)离开了球队。随
着球季的进行,当建队核心Damon Stoudamire表明他将不会续约时,暴龙队更是将他和
Walt Williams还有Carlos Rogers交易到波特兰拓荒者队换来Kenny Anderson、Gary Trent
、Alvin Williams、一些选秀权跟现金。暴龙队的交易还没完,他们还将Anderson、
Popeye Jones跟Zan Tabak送到波士顿赛尔提克队去换新秀Chauncey Billups、Dee Brown、
Roy Rogers及John Thomas。伴随着所有混乱的改变,暴龙队最终不意外的以16-66的烂战绩
结束了这个球季。
