Gameday: Raptors at Grizzlies, Jan 25
After dropping their fourth straight 108-106 to the San Antonio Spurs the Raptors play their second game in as many nights against the Grizzles in Memphis on Wednesday. The Raptors limp into the FedEx Forum, bleary-eyed and out of answers. Toronto has to erase the image of Norman Powell’s last ditch heave from Tuesday’s fourth…
Suns hand Raptors third straight loss in 4th quarter meltdown.
It’s officially time to be concerned about the Raptors after Toronto suffered a 115-103 loss at the hands of the lowly Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. After Kemba Walker turned the Raps inside out on Friday all anyone wanted was to sit down with a nice Sunday roast and watch the Raptors get into the…
Give me a Minute! The Raptors Rest Problem
Watching the Raptors struggle to get up the court Wednesday night, exaggerated by the exciting but admittedly eye-opening trail left in Sullinger’s errr…wide berth, the need for rest became not just clear, but necessary. It took DeMar DeRozan three quarters to find his stroke, DeMarre Carroll’s legs wouldn’t lift him up high enough to get…

The Value of Valanciunas
Toronto’s annual tradition of pontificating possible power forwards (try saying that three times fast) has begun in the face of the oncoming trade deadline.

The shock wave can cause substantial damage. Kyle Lowry. Kyle Lowry is a sudden, violent change of direction, who dismantles…
What’s in a name?
“It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to” – W.C. Fields After the Raptors Huskies held off the Knicks Saturday night in front of a raucous home crowd an ill-advised sentiment started to bubble to the surface thanks to some clever marketing from the folks at MLSE. For one night, the ACC…
The DeMarre Carroll Conundrum
Watching DeMarre Carroll hang his head on the way to another late benching in Sunday’s brutal performance against the Kings, and the panic stared to set in. It had been waiting in the corners, warded off by buzz words like “slow starter”, “it’s early”, and “not 100 percent”, but now it’s here. It revealed itself…
