Running through shooting drills was always really relaxing and fun despite the fact that it was hard work by the end of it. Dripping sweat, the ball is heavy, and you’re not taking set-shots, you’re still pushing yourself to elevate. When you miss a few in a row, it starts to get really frustrating, so…
I can’t believe we lost to an anthropomorphized bowl of clam chowder. Toronto 108 Final Box Score 117 Boston B P. Siakam36 MIN, 6 PTS, 4 REB, 7 AST, 1 STL, 3-6 FG, 0-0 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 2 TO, 1 +/- Had a tough time finding his way to the rim – the…
The Boston Celtics are here to prove everyone wrong, about everything. The world is flat. Jayson Tatum is in fact, 12 years old. Al Horford is modern day Bill Walton.
We all remember it well enough, Norman Powell near half court with Lucas Nogueira jogging to set a high screen for him. Kyle Lowry and Patrick Patterson spaced out to the left wing and the corner, Powell was attacking out of the high pick n’ roll. Solomon Hill gets caught behind the screen and Powell…
A family is spending a Saturday night indoors. Each one of them wrapped up in a different blanket that they had gotten over the holiday season. Playing scrabble, jenga and the like. The two parents and two children all share a giant bowl of romaine lettuce, all smiles. Soon enough, one of the parents brings…
For the first time since Dec. 9th, the Raptors got to clock-in their de-facto starting line-up. After a month of turbulence as far as health goes, the Raptors are returning to form with Kyle Lowry lighting the way. The Nets, who started their turn of fortune with a win over the Raptors (Dec. 7th), came…

Now that everyone has collected the couches that they threw onto their lawns – must be nice to have a lawn, you fascists – after watching DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge set the Lowry-less Raptors ablaze. It’s time to spend 3 hours trying to fit it through the front door, eventually removing the hinges, but…
Sorry the grades are up so late, technical difficulties. I’ll have them up within 5 minutes next time, and if not, demand my resignation. Toronto 107 Final Box Score 125 San Antonio B P. Siakam27 MIN, 10 PTS, 6 REB, 7 AST, 1 STL, 4-8 FG, 0-2 3FG, 2-2 FT, 1 BLK, 4 TO,…
The only Superstar who believed in the city of Toronto, the man who wouldn’t allow other teams a chance at him. DeMar DeRozan, forever Toronto’s greatest ambassador, will play against the Raptors for the first time in his career. Employed by the 21-17 Spurs, DeRozan looks to will the mid-range obsessed team from Texas to…
Danny Green and the Raptors carry on from Miami to Orlando for some land-locked basketball. The Raptors arriving ahead of Green, as he had to book a private flight to fit his massive balls into. Providing late game heroics for the second time this year – third if you count his defense on Victor Oladipo…
