Very quickly, it seems like a few trade possibilities for the Toronto Raptors have emerged. While I am still skeptical of the legitimacy of these deals and talks, they seem to have some kindling to them. Whether or not they end up turning into full-fledged fire by Thursday’s NBA deadline is yet to be seen. […]

B.I.3. fans, you have my condolences. For days, the Toronto faithful have been waiting with bated breath to see whether their franchise stars would be selected to play in this year’s All-Star game, and while Scottie Barnes was selected as an All-Star for the second time in his career, Brandon Ingram has thus far been […]

About a week ago, we talked about how the Toronto Raptors’ West Coast road trip — mainly the success of it — had the potential to change trade deadline plans for the front office. Since returning home from that West Coast swing, the Raptors have lacked punch. After the excellent play out West had the […]

For the second time in his five-year career, Scottie Barnes has been selected to the NBA All-Star Game. In 2024, Barnes was selected as an injury replacement player for the Eastern Conference team, and this season will represent the Raptors as a reserve player. After fan votes select the starter players, the coaches vote in […]

Tonight, Toronto Raptors will face off against the Utah Jazz, starting a 5-game home stand that will carry them to the All-Star break.

Neither head coach in tonight’s Raptors vs Knicks match-up pays much attention to the NBA standings. Darko Rajakovic made a pact with himself to avoid them until the All-Star break. Mike Brown, coach of the Knicks, also commented that he doesn’t pay much attention to his team’s place in the rankings. It’s more about focusing […]

No reason to beat around the bush — Shams is reporting that Giannis is done in Milwaukee. Whether he gets traded at the deadline next week or this summer, it doesn’t seem like we will head into next season with the Greek Freak in Wisconsin. No matter which NBA market you’re in, your mind immediately […]

Things change quickly in the NBA. Just over a week ago, the Toronto Raptors started their five-game road trip by conceding 25 points and 13 rebounds to DeAndre Ayton in a 110-93 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was Toronto’s fourth loss in six games and considering the franchise’s history with west coast trips, […]

Darko Rajakovic wears many hats. As the Head Coach, he takes his leadership seriously, stands up for his players, and is always open and forthcoming. As an Offensive Coordinator, his system which encourages multiple passes and cuts has resulted the Raptors finishing in the top 7 in assists in each of his first two seasons […]

The 29-19 Toronto Raptors are currently the 3rd-best team in a wide-open Eastern Conference, but things aren’t the same over the in the West. It’s pretty obvious that the Western Conference poses the biggest threat to take home this season’s NBA Championship, but who makes it from the Eastern Conference is up in the air. […]

For the fifth and final game of their road-trip, the Toronto Raptors faced the Oklahoma City Thunder, clinching their fourth-straight victory, to the tune of 103-101. This was the first of their two contests this season, but Oklahoma City hasn’t lost at home to Toronto since 2022, a streak that the Raptors have now finally […]

The Toronto Raptors continued their West Coast road trip tonight against the Portland Trailblazers. Leaving the Moda Center with the win, the Raptors have now won three in a row and have successfully swept the Blazers in the season series with a final score of 110-98. The Trailblazers have been playing well so far in […]

A few days ago, we talked about what the Toronto Raptors could do at the deadline. Knowing Bobby Webster, but actually knowing his mentor Masai Ujiri, tells us that it’s a real possibility for the Raptors to not do anything spectacular at the deadline. Instead, they could wait for the summer to make moves. Yet, […]

The Toronto Tempo will play their first-ever game on May 8, 2026, at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto. The news comes as part of their full season schedule drop, as the entire WNBA announces a 44-game 2026 season. Yet, as exciting as this news is, it still comes with a lot of question marks. The WNBA […]

The Toronto Raptors are fresh off one of their best performances of the season, a 145-127 win against the Golden State Warriors – despite being down four rotation players – in which Immanuel Quickley dropped a career-high 40 points and 10 assists. Now, they’ll be shorthanded and on short rest as they take on the Sacramento […]

Three-point shooting has been a major need for the Toronto Raptors this season, who are shooting the worst percentage in the league. But that was not nearly the case tonight. The Raptors’s offense erupted in Chase Center Tuesday night, fuelled by a red-hot 21/34 shooting night from beyond the arc and crisp ball movement that […]

The gravitational pull of the NBA’s play-in tournament is calling out to the Toronto Raptors. And it may be too late to escape its reach if the Raptors can’t salvage the four games that remain in their west coast road trip. The Raptors (25-19) are currently one game ahead of the seventh-seeded Orlando Magic and […]

I’m going to be so real here — I hate the NBA trade deadline! It’s weeks of baseless rumours, being on edge, waiting for the shoe to drop… even though it might never drop. It has me on edge every year, and I sit here every February just counting down the seconds until it’s over. […]

With all due respect to the paying customers of Scotiabank Arena, the NBA’s best players continue missing games in Toronto. Kawhi Leonard joined the growing list of stars to not suit up against the Raptors, including Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, and Jaylen Brown. Lucky for Los Angeles, they still have another All-Star who […]

First there was a back-to-back against the Philadelphia 76ers, coached by Nick Nurse and featuring the G.R.O.A.T himself, Kyle Lowry, in what was likely his last appearance in a game in Toronto. Then there was Wednesday’s game against Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers. Now, the Raptors’ week of familiar faces culminates in a contest […]

The Toronto Raptors are learning more about themselves. That’s important because with the season officially reaching the halfway point, there remains a litany of questions about who this team is and what they’re capable of. When the NBA released its schedule, this particular week always stood out with dramatic potential for the Raptors. This team […]

Last night’s Toronto Raptors game was so bad that it doesn’t warrant a recap. If you saw it, you know. If you didn’t, the Raptors got blown out by the Sixers, who welcomed back both Joel Embiid and Paul George into the lineup. It sucked. What didn’t suck, though, was Kyle Lowry entering the game […]

It might feel like deja vu, but for the second time in two days, the Toronto Raptors will be going toe-to-toe with the Philadelphia 76ers. Toronto is now 2-1 in the series, hoping to secure a 3-1 lead, and with that, a tiebreaker that could become more significant when it comes time for the postseason. […]

Darko Rajakovic and I have differing opinions on the idea of playing a team back-to-back. Rajakovic, as he told the media before Sunday’s Toronto Raptors game, loves the idea of it. Being able to scout the same opponent in one week gives him similar feelings to those of a playoff run. While he would prefer […]

If the Toronto Raptors asked for good health to begin the new year, no one would have faulted them despite injuries increasingly becoming a norm to the NBA experience. Canada’s lone basketball franchise has embarked on a tumultuous adventure of a season lined with just enough intrigue to have basketball fans wondering what exactly this […]
