Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

The Right Reasons to Start Jerryd Bayless

I’ve never been a firm believer in starter versus reserve controversies. When TJ Ford and Jose Calderon battled for point guard supremacy here in Toronto, I wrote about it because I felt obligated, not because I truly cared. I understand that, to players and some fans, starting is of the utmost importance; you are first…

Statophile, Volume 4

Was Bosh holding back Bargnani's game? Can someone be nicknamed "Money" when they're this cold? How has Bayless performed so far?

My Four Quarters of Raptors Fandom

A few weeks ago, my wife and I went out for dinner. Good food, good wine. A really nice, relaxing time. We ran into friends on the way home. My buddy, another near-obsessive basketball fan, asked me if I saw Bargnani’s line. Huh? There was no game tonig…

Just fight, baby!

Something has surely changed since the ugly defeat in Washington and I quite can't put my finger on it. Maybe it'll take some time to figure...wait, what? I know exactly what changed. Andrea Bargnani decided to show up and stamp his name all over this team.
