Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 4/5/26

 Poor Raptors fans have PTSD over the Celtics. I remember one game before they won their championship when the Celtics were having Gino time during a big win and the Raptors' announcers said that's something the Celtics do after every game, not realizing it was just in big blowouts because the Celtics always blew them out.   I love how much they respect and hate Payton Pritchard all at once.  He's definitely an X-Factor.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?...

10 Takeaways from Celtics late victory over scrappy Raptors

1. Big 4th Quarter Through the first three quarters of this game the Celtics looked like they were stuck in mud when it came to their offense. After having some huge first halves in back to back games, Boston only had 80 points going into the fourth quarter, keeping Toronto in the game. The Celtics […]

Joe Mazzulla confident Celtics will unleash the ‘best version’ of Nikola Vučević

BOSTON — Nikola Vučević rejoined the Boston Celtics for Easter Sunday’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors. That was the plan, set nearly a month ago when he underwent surgery to stabilize his fractured right finger on March 7. At that time, Vučević had logged 12 appearances since being acquired at February’s trade deadline. He played […]

Celtics beat Raptors 115-101 in potential first-round preview

Jaylen Brown’s 26 points led the Boston Celtics to a 115-101 win over the Toronto Raptors on Easter Sunday at TD Garden, completing the team’s 4-0 season sweep over its division rival. That “rivalry” has been pretty lopsided in recent years. Boston has gone 15-1 against Toronto over the past four regular seasons and has […]

Raptors handle business against Grizzlies

There are a lot of different types of must-win games. Playoff games. Rivalries. Tie-breakers. Ring nights. Banner nights. Revenge games. But then there’s a must-win in the sense that your opponent is 25-51 on the season, actively tanking, and comprised of guys who may not even be in the league next year.  Tonight was the […]

Tiebreaker vs. Pistons could be anyone’s game

After an up-and-down road trip the Raptors returned home to win two straight games in a dominant fashion. Now, they embark for a single away game to face the Detroit Pistons for their third and final contest of the season.

Raptors and Pelicans rematch in Toronto

This is a revenge game for the Toronto Raptors. Sort of.  Some have said that the Raps’ last loss to the Pelicans and the brutal staredown Jamal Shead suffered at the hands of Dejounte Murray were the catalyst to the Raptors getting their act back together and winning three games in a row. This game […]

Ja’Kobe Walter adds intrigue in what was a predictable Raptors season

The NBA landscape is populated by different classes. There are rich teams and there are penny-pinchers. Some rise above expectations to reach great heights, both of the temporary and permanent kind. The chronic underachievers exist too.  But out of all the different archetypes, the one that might be the most frustrating – at least to […]

What if Danny Ainge drafted Markelle Fultz over Jayson Tatum?

Former #1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Markelle Fultz signed a 10-Day contract with the Toronto Raptors yesterday after spending time with their G-League affiliate this season. The last time Fultz played in the NBA was with the Sacramento Kings in the 2024-25 season where he averaged 2.9 points in 21 games. Although the […]

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. This game against an injured opponent should be a chance for the Raptors to stop a dangerous skid late in the season. The Jazz have had […]

Toronto looks to sweep Suns in season series

The Toronto Raptors continue their travels to Arizona, where they will go toe-to-toe tonight with the Phoenix Suns. These teams meet twice a year, with the first contest going in Toronto’s favour.  So far on this road-trip, the Raptors are 1-1. They beat Chicago effortlessly and followed that up with a close but frustrating loss […]
