Time is ticking for the Toronto Raptors. With 19 games remaining in their regular-season schedule, the Raptors don’t have significant runway left to prove they’re more than their reputation.

I’ll get the usual caveats out of the way first. It’s just one game. It’s the regular season. The playoffs are a different animal. We shouldn’t get carried away. “Weren’t you the guy sitting here this time last week after the Knicks loss telling us not to get too high or low about anything right […]
As Tyus Jones joins the Denver Nuggets, the chorus of boos grows louder. Houston Rockets fans wanted him. It made some intuitive sense. Jones’ best NBA seasons have seen him marry passing volume with a low turnover rate in a way that, frankly, only Fred VanVleet really does. So why wouldn’t Rafael Stone want him […]
The Houston Rockets had a gut check game against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday and failed miserably, being dominated by the Spurs, who shot 58 percent from the field, to the tune of a 145-120 San Antonio victory. The Rockets had no defense, as the Spurs got pretty much whatever they wanted, with Victor […]
The Houston Rockets have to turn around quickly after a demoralizing loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Houston now gets a top 5 team in the East, the Toronto Raptors. Toronto makes its hay on the defensive end, where they are sixth in defensive rating. Offensively, they’re a more mediocre 19th. The Raptors got off […]
The San Antonio Spurs didn’t just beat the Houston Rockets on Sunday night, they buried them under an avalanche of offense.

The Spurs played with pace, passion, and purpose, […]

The Spurs are having arguably their best stretch of the season, following a win against the Clippers in their return home from the Rodeo Road Trip.

Tonight the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs complete their season series. San Antonio leads 2-1, and a win for the Spurs would clinch the tiebreaker, not that it’s likely to matter. This is the first of three difficult games in four days for Houston. To talk about the Spurs, I enlisted the help of […]

While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]

I guess I can think about writing one. Who are we playing? The Portland Trail Blazers? Meh there’s not good so […]
This one was embarrassing, and painful. It was like watching a chess master play a person who’d maybe heard of chess, but never played it before. Steve Kerr would be in the role of grandmaster, and Ime Udoka the role of someone who just learned of the existence of the wimpy game of chess an […]
