I’ve never been quite so happy to eat my words. Brandon Ingram, the Toronto Raptors’ leading scorer this season, has been named an injury replacement in the 2026 All-Star Game. With Stephen Curry out for Team USA, Ingram has been called up to take his spot, and will be playing for the “Stripes” squad , […]

Super Bowl Sunday in Toronto means an early Raptors game, and showing up at the arena for 1pm media almost feels like being here before the sun is up. It was a quiet one at Scotiabank Arena today, with a lot of the usual suspects around instead taking the day off to watch some guys […]

Thursday’s NBA trade deadline came and went without too much noise from the Toronto Raptors, for better or worse. The team only made two small transactions, mostly working to duck the luxury tax and avoiding the big trades they had been attached to in recent weeks. While the deal to send Ochai Agbaji to the […]

The Toronto Raptors had a fairly quiet NBA Trade Deadline, making a few small moves. The main thing that was accomplished was ducking under the tax, salary-wise. The first move was to send Ochai Agbaji to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team deal that brought Chris Paul to the Raptors from the Clippers, with Toronto […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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. […]
