It has been the longest nine days of the year so far, but Raptors basketball is finally back! Toronto welcomes the Phoenix Suns into town, looking to rekindle a new winning streak after their Canadian record 16 consecutive wins came to a halt on the eve of All-Star weekend. This will be the first of…
The Toronto Raptors briefly return home with an eye on extending their winning streak to eight games as they welcome Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks into town. Toronto have won both encounters in Atlanta this season in close fashion, the most recent matchup occurring just a week ago. Despite these victories, the Raptors have…
If an outside observer took a quick glance at the starting lineups when the Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers face off on Tuesday night, it would be a shocking revelation when they then learned that these were two of the final four teams standing last season. Although Toronto’s immediate future presents far more room…
The last time the Toronto Raptors faced the Brooklyn Nets, Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell combined for 55 points to snap Toronto out of their first real slump of the season.

The NBA season doesn’t truly start until a team faces adversity.

We’ve had injuries, nationwide viewing parties, Drake-KD beefs in the tunnel, more injuries, conflicting reports about said injuries, ‘janky’ defences, and now minority owners are shoving and cussing at players?! I honestly don’t know…
The adrenaline of Kawhi Leonard’s game 7 heroics have finally faded. Leonard himself said that he’d moved on from the glorious moment by the next day, though it took the rest of Raptorland a whole lot longer.

After Toronto picked up the huge win at home in game 5, they head to Philadelphia on Thursday with the opportunity to finish the series and move onto the Eastern Conference Finals where the Milwaukee Bucks await after finishing their series on Wednesday. The Raptors seemed to find all the answers to the issues that…
On Superbowl Sunday, the Raptors will have a visit from the Los Angeles Clippers and Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will play his first NBA game in his home country. In the first meeting of the two teams this season the Raptors delivered a 123-99 victory, led by a 25-point outing for Serge Ibaka and 21 from…
