After Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green chose to take their talents to California this past summer, there was a wide variety of expectations for the Raptors, and a lot of skepticism about how they would replace those players’ roles this season. Through the first two weeks of the season, however, the Raptors have looked just…

After a tough loss in Boston on Friday night in which the Raptors looked like they may have had some of their weaknesses exposed, having been dominated on the boards to help the Celtics generate a huge advantage in field goal attempts, Toronto had an opportunity to bounce back against the Bulls on Saturday. Chicago…

Friday night in Brooklyn, the Raptors had their first game of the pre-season with their full rotation intact, in their last outing prior to the start of the season. With Kyle Lowry making his preseason debut, Nick Nurse seemed to give a preview of what the rotation might look like using only eight players in…

Reputations are a funny thing. Easy to establish the wrong kind of reputation, and hard to correct it once it’s built. The Raptors, prior to this last season, had a reputation as a team that just couldn’t be trusted in the postseason, a team that would find a way to disappoint. Their emotional leader over…
This was always an accident. A very happy accident. A great one, even. But an accident nonetheless. It was an accident when Masai Ujiri traded away Rudy Gay, thinking he was headed for a rebuild, and the team got better. It was an accident when Masai negotiated a Kyle Lowry trade, thinking that it was…
As free agency draws closer, it’s hard to distinguish which rumors to believe, which portions of the story are being played out in the media and which parts are more wishful thinking on the part of the person giving information to the media. This is a game that can be stressful and not terribly fun…
There were moments in Thursday night’s game 6 where it felt a lot like the previous game, back home in Toronto. The Raptors had surrendered a lead after controlling the early parts of the game, Kawhi Leonard hadn’t fully established himself, and the Raptors just kept having opportunities to take control, and not quite getting…
