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…
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…

It’s a 5-point game with three minutes and some change left in the 4th quarter. The Wizards are surging behind Bradley Beal’s explosive shooting. The wily Pascal Siakam skies over a couple Wizards to get to an offensive rebound. Ball in hand with the Wizards defense pressed in around the paint, he finds Kyle Lowry…
What a fun game. The 76ers came to Toronto to showoff their two Superstar’s. On this particular night they only had one. Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard were equally important on defense, as they reduced Ben Simmons to a guy who was perpetually dropping his keys. Whenever Simmons pushed in transition he looked like Kramer…

Here we are again. Raptors-Bucks games have always been must see television. The Chris Bosh and Carlos Delfino battle of 2010? Do we forget the Matt Devlin “PUNJABI” days? Surely not. Much to the chagrin of ‘Big NBA’ the last two undefeated teams in the league are the Raptors and the Bucks. To those who…
The Mavericks came to Scotiabank Arena hoping to launch triples and steal a win from one of the league’s best. The Raptors, looking to further solidify themselves as the East’s team to beat. Kawhi Leonard & co. took what they wanted with their large, grabby hands. First Half Tipoff. Pascal Siakam is working early in…
It’s the fourth quarter, and the Raptors are grinding away with a bitter rival. The ball sits in the hands of the oppositions number one scoring option and he’s making a beeline for the rim. One of the best defenders on the Raptors is tracking him down, matching the steps, getting ready to challenge the…
