At this point in the Raptors season, it would feel unreasonable to me to suggest that the team will find a way to be miraculously healthy come the start of the postseason. It just hasn’t worked out that way this year for the Raptors, and they’ve found ways to overcome that adversity and still win…
In the hierarchy of acceptable losses in the NBA, headed into Utah on the second night of a back-to-back at the end of a 5-game west coast while missing two important rotation players, and then with another getting hurt barely a minute into the game, falls firmly into the category of what you can live…
After being announced as an All-Star reserve earlier in the day on Thursday, for his sixth straight appearance in the game, Kyle Lowry delivered another fantastic performance to lead the Raptors to another victory in this stretch when they’ve pulled into second place in the Eastern Conference. In this game, the Raptors missed Marc Gasol,…
ATL Hawks 114 Final Box Score 130 TOR Raptors A P. Siakam27 MIN, 24 PTS, 9 REB, 2 AST, 0 STL, 8-20 FG, 2-8 3FG, 6-10 FT, 1 BLK, 0 TO, 6 +/- It’s still somewhat a work in progress for Pascal, and he doesn’t quite look the same player he was at the beginning…
TOR Raptors 118 Final Box Score 112 NY Knicks B O. Anunoby26 MIN, 7 PTS, 2 REB, 0 AST, 1 STL, 3-7 FG, 1-2 3FG, 0-0 FT, 1 BLK, 1 TO, -5 +/- Wasn’t a spectacular game from OG, and he definitely could’ve been more of a presence on the boards in this one, but…
Sometimes, the right opponent is all it takes for a team to remember who they are, and that was the case for the Raptors with the Cleveland Cavaliers in town on Monday night. With Cleveland fully in the midst of a rebuild, and a lot of their younger players still learning the ropes in the…
LA Clippers 112 Final Box Score 92 TOR Raptors B- P. Siakam35 MIN, 24 PTS, 4 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL, 9-20 FG, 1-4 3FG, 5-5 FT, 3 BLK, 3 TO, -16 +/- Pascal did a really good job guarding Paul George tonight, and kept a guy who has been one of the best scorers…
UTA Jazz 110 Final Box Score 130 TOR Raptors A+ P. Siakam35 MIN, 35 PTS, 5 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL, 14-22 FG, 5-9 3FG, 2-2 FT, 0 BLK, 4 TO, 18 +/- Light work for the Raptors superstar tonight. 19 first quarter points, and then it felt like he mostly coasted the rest of…
Last season’s Toronto Raptors will go down, until the franchise wins another title, as the unquestionable greatest Raptors team ever. The way it ended provided an incredible amount of joy to the fanbase and the city, and the playoffs included a lot of great moments as well. Despite that, if there was a tone to…
TOR Raptors 119 Final Box Score 116 ATL Hawks A+ P. Siakam40 MIN, 34 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST, 1 STL, 11-18 FG, 4-6 3FG, 8-9 FT, 2 BLK, 2 TO, 6 +/- This didn’t feel like an efficient 34-point game, watching it, for Siakam. He was quiet for long stretches, and wasn’t pressing to…
When it was known that Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka were going to miss the remained of the Western Conference road trip, and then some, after the win over the New Orleans Pelicans, it looked rough for the Raptors. The rotation had only been 7 players mostly to that point and there were a lot…
TOR Raptors 102 Final Box Score 110 DAL Mavericks C+ P. Siakam41 MIN, 15 PTS, 3 REB, 7 AST, 1 STL, 6-24 FG, 2-10 3FG, 1-3 FT, 1 BLK, 5 TO, 3 +/- This was probably coming for him, he’s been powering through exhaustion for a couple of games now, and he just hasn’t had…
