Lots of talk about DeRozan becoming the starter without facing competition because of the the injury to Antoine Wright. This mornings news and QOTD revolve around that. Toronto Star – DeMar DeRozan a starter by default Antoine Wright’s injury is making life easy for Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan. And that ticks off coach Jay Triano.…
This is what it feels like to beat them. We really need to do it more often. News Flash: We have two games left in the pre-season, one of them is today and the other one is in Minny. Take a guess which one you should be paying closer attention to when evaluating the team.…
Let the debate end. Vince Carter has been the most talented and bestest basketball player to ever don a Raptors jersey. You said so.
