Poor Shot-Making and Incredible Effort – Raptors First Feel Good Loss
The 4th and final game of the vaunted west coast road trip. A tough game regardless of bad luck or injuries, against the Western Conference’s one-seed, to boot.

Quick Reaction: Raptors 86, Nuggets 95

The Western Conference’s leaders come to town in the form of a ‘Big Honey’ bear. At 15-7 the Nuggets sit 4.5 games back of the overall NBA throne, currently held by our lovable Toronto Raptors. The Raptors fresh off a trip to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame – and some basketball game, I’m…
