Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 10/15/25

Good win to close out the preseason.  Next time they take the court, it will be for real against the 76ers.  Raptors fans are funny.  They trashed their own team way more than they did the Celtics.  Poor Scottie Barnes.  He really got a lot of hate from the fans.  And,  they sent a lot of love toward the Celtics, especially Pritchard and White.  I do think the Celtics are going to be fun to watch this season.  My favorites are in bold.  What ar...

Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 10/10/25

This game meant nothing and didn't show us much.  Brown and White sat out and all of the Raptors starters sat out.  The Celtics built a 26 point lead while their starters played but the end of the bench guys couldn't hold it and staged a basketball giveaway in the 4th quarter.  It was an entertaining game and I'm liking what I see from Garza, Minott, Boucher and Gonzalez.  I liked how much they still like Boucher.  And love that they think of Pritchard as a Raptors Kil...
