Um…the Raptors won this game. Buy a lottery ticket. Indiana 96 Final Box Score 99 Toronto A P. Siakam35 MIN, 17 PTS, 7 REB, 4 AST, 3 STL, 6-10 FG, 0-0 3FG, 5-6 FT, 2 BLK, 2 TO, 4 +/- Had to soak up (35!) major minutes tonight with the lack of bigs on the…
The Raptors are playing four of the best Western Conference teams in six days on this mini-but-massive road trip. After the real Kyle Lowry stood up for last night’s game against the Clippers, the Raptors are playing three of the best Western Conference teams in five days with a gigantic (and relieving) win already under…
Let’s be honest here from the outset: This was the Super Bowl for the Pistons. They came in for an emotional affair against a Raptors team that is (was?) the best team in the East, and acted accordingly. There was grit and grind and some version of “pound the rock” until the rock bounced right…
Dallas 107 Final Box Score 116 Toronto B+ P. Siakam37 MIN, 10 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 4-8 FG, 0-2 3FG, 2-2 FT, 0 BLK, 3 TO, 11 +/- Siakam in the open court is a revelation. His statline is rarely, if ever gong to jump off the page at you, and that’s…
This is going to be short and sweet, because frankly gloating about this Raptors team can easily turn into a 10,000 word essay alone but also carries with it some freakishly anxious impending sense of doom that I’m not ready to confront yet. Look, the score of last night’s game is hardly indicative of what…
Are we having fun yet? The Kawhi Leonard era in Toronto was off to a great start the second Kawhi Leonard became a Raptor. Toss in a 3-0 start, a statement win against a Boston Celtics team many have pegged to win the East, and things are looking pretty good for the Drakes (shoutout Zach…
The Raptors finished first in the Eastern Conference this season. Then they met LeBron. The Raptors did not lose back to back home games this season. Then they met LeBron. The Raptors did not lose three games in a row at any point this season. Then they met LeBron. The Toronto Raptors are on the…
It still hurts doesn’t it? Replaying a laundry list of Raptors misses that would have sealed a game 1 victory at home. Immediately, and foolishly, I jumped on twitter to gauge reactions following what felt like a game 7 loss at the buzzer. some of my favourite takes, paraphrased in no particular order: “Lord,…
C.J. Miles presented a promising addition in the offseason. He seemed to fit exactly what the Raptors needed: A barrage of well-thought-out three point attempts off the bench to help space the floor for a team that desperately needed it. He came as advertised, for the most part, but ended up shooting just over 36%…
  DeMar DeRozan is still the key. On Saturday night a win was the only thing that mattered. Erasing the memory of an 0-9 record in Game 1 took precedence over how the team actually looked, and for the most part the team looked great. Serge Ibaka reminded everyone why Toronto signed him in the offseason,…
While Sunday’s contest against the Magic was never really in doubt, there were still plenty of nail-biting moments that revolved around the health of the Raptors. Norman Powell appeared to severely roll his ankle early in the game, but gutted it out and returned while Fred VanVleet had to leave the game with lower back…
