Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

Statophile, Volume 1

Welcome to a new idea here at RR. The goal of Statophile is to produce a weekly summary of advanced metrics - to analyse beyond what's beyond the basic boxscore. We will also address a few perceptions from readers each week and look to confirm or bust them.

Gameday: Raptors vs 76ers – Mar. 7/10

The Raptors are 1-0 during this must win stretch, which goes till the last game of the season against the Knicks. When I said that every game is a must win from here on in, I meant that each game must be approached as if they are. With Toronto and Milwaukee currently tied for 5th,…

RRTV: LOUD CROWD NOISE!!!

With the glitz and glamour surrounding NBA All-Star weekend, we thought we’d use this moment to drop some fresh extra flavour to 'the game' by releasing the premiere episode of our new RRTV original weekly series called LOUD CROWD NOISE!!!

They were being torched…

Raps Fan’s 3pt Shot

The “what if Jamario Moon was re-signed” Edition: 1) What would be the MAX contract you would give him? 2) Do you think he would be capable of being the starting SG while DeRozan get’s accustomed to the NBA grind? 3) Can we really deal with his gun-slinging for another 2+ years?

Roll Call – Season Wrap up

The “I told you so” edition Adams – possessed the characteristics you look for as a general manager of an NBA franchise: a fire hydrant with a headband. Hassan brought as much value to our team as would rap lessons from 50 Cent given to Jake Voskuhl. Banks – at least Hassan isn’t costing us…
