Gameday: Pelicans @ Raptors, Nov. 12

A large child walks down the hallway with no regard for what he walks into. Other children bounce off of him without him noticing, others, he shoves away with little care. A farm-kid who loves animals (deer, usually) pushes the big kid over while he’s tying his shoe. No bother, the child gets up again…

OG Anunoby – Fluidity

OG Anunoby is waiting on the weak-side, Kawhi Leonard drives to the hoop and draws the help-side defense. Anunoby sees this and ducks under the rim, Leonard drops off to Anunoby, but he’s surrounded by three defenders. This isn’t a problem for the incredibly strong Anunoby, he rises up for a 2-handed jam in traffic.…

The Kings are Fun and the Raptors are Good

I remember a time when the Raptors were winning between 25-40 games every year. Even when they were winning 48 in 2013-14. I would come to RR and read through the comments, fervently looking for DeMar DeRozan praise or slander. I didn’t have an account to comment with, so when people would go to task…

Kawhi Leonard sat out, but the Raptors thrashed the Jazz all the same. After Serge Ibaka’s sublime performance in LA, he…

Fresh off of a dominant win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Raptors travel to Salt Lake City to take on the Jazz. The Jazz, who have fallen out of a playoff seed in the west, look to bring their record back to .500. The Raptors are looking to flex their collective muscles and get…

Raptors Crush Lakers, "How Hungry Are You?" Goes Hollywood.

I think I can properly recap this whole game with a single quote from the Lakers broadcast: “Boy, if they look this good without Kawhi… yikes.” A quick comment before we get into it. Kawhi Leonard missed this game, but it turns out that “GM LeBron” already played 82 games worth of defense on “player…
