There’s been a decent chunk of misfortune for the Raptors this year, usually coming in the form of injuries. They’ve done a fantastic job of fighting against a rising tide, but for some reason (likely because the Raptors were lacking a big man) the Hornets were the team to get over the top – Milwaukee…
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. One more thing, the Raptors were missing Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, Jonas Valanciunas and Norman Powell. There are no excuses in this league – none that carry…
Tough. Danny Green’s grade isn’t in the graphic – He was wily as ever on defense and did a lot of the tertiary playmaking tonight. Attacked close-outs, put Jamal Murray in tough positions in the post, and missed a few more shots than we liked. The grade for him is a “B”. Toronto 86 Final…
Nikola Jokic is a bad man, and one that did bad things to Toronto just 13 days ago.

He needed just 13 shots to get there and was under complete control,…
Jonas Valanciunas had another tough night but stuck with it and improved towards the end.

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…
Tuesday night in Toronto, the Raptors will have a chance to avenge the worst loss of their season. On November 1st, the Raptors lost by 18 in Denver, which is the largest margin of defeat they’ve had all year. In that game, Nikola Jokic led the way with 8 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists…
