Raptors and Pelicans rematch in Toronto

This is a revenge game for the Toronto Raptors.

Knicks Standings Watch: Who to root for and against, March 23-28

As the standings start to take shape, I believe the ideal scenario for the Knicks is to finish third, and for the Raptors to finish sixth. While an argument—a strong one—could be made that the Knicks should chase the second-seed and secure home-court advantage in the second-round, being the third-seed and facing the Raptors would […]

Raptors take aim at decimated Jazz squad

Coming off a brutal loss last night in Phoenix, the Raptors are playing their second game of a back-to-back, this time, agains the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.

Raptors make a statement with win in Chicago

What better way to start off a five-game road trip than with a dominant victory?  The Toronto Raptors routed the Chicago Bulls tonight for the third time this season, officially completing the sweep of yet another team in a season series.

Back from their disappointing Houston/New Orleans road trip and in Toronto to face the Phoenix Suns on Friday, the Raptors had a lot of people to answer to.

[…]

Why leave Jamal Shead defenceless?

The Toronto Raptors lost an excruciating game to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.
