“Warriors in 6.” Aside from the obvious celebration of the Toronto Raptors making the finals, that’s all I’ve ever really seen since they eliminated the first seeded Milwaukee Bucks last Saturday night. Of course, this is to be expected. Golden State has not only made every single NBA Finals since 2015 with relatively similar star-studded … Read more
Ibaka: "I don't care what talent you have, if you don't have toughness you're not going to be here. We're here today and we won tonight's game because we have toughness…" pic.twitter.com/i6pQU2ClWZ — Josh Lewenberg (@JLew1050) May 26, 2019 Imagine hearing in 2017 that in 2019, Kawhi Leonard would be donning a Raptors jersey and … Read more
Kyle Lowry tilting his cap over his eyes to hide his tears as the crowd chanted his name during the trophy ceremony was surreal. It’s hard to believe that any Raptors fan who has followed his Toronto tenure wasn’t overcome with the same wave of emotions that our leader felt. It’s funny. When I started … Read more
Franchise History Made, and In the Making The Toronto Raptors punched their ticket to the NBA Finals. Newsflash, you already knew that!

Toronto isn’t supposed to be the city where the masses gather in the epicenter of the NBA. They never were. But this week, the spotlight will be right here when the … Read more
After Cleveland swept away the Raptors in May of last year- the third 4-0 loss in four years for Toronto- you couldn’t have scripted it any better if you were given three wishes from a genie (shoutout to Steph Curry’s terrible Aladdin commercial). Hell, after Fred VanVleet averaged 2 points for an entire series you … Read more
In Game 4, the Raptors blew out the Bucks, 120-102. Scotiabank Arena is a fortress for the Toronto Raptors. The fans are loud. The adrenaline is pumping. On a night where Kawhi Leonard only scored 19 points, the rest of the Toronto Raptors stepped up. The Raptors were their usual selves: playing their game, shooting … Read more
Pivotal Game 4 Win The Toronto Raptors have finally played a complete team game. As shown in their 120-102 victory in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals over the Milwaukee Bucks. The entire sports world counted Toronto out, except for Charles Barkley who loves Toronto. Stephen A. Smith of ESPN’s First Take claimed the Bucks … Read more
Pessimism is a familiar feeling for Raptors fans. After going down 0-2, a team that has been swept out of the playoffs three times in four years would tend to have fans feeling this way. Of course, this year is different, because Kawhi Leonard has already provided us with a moment to last a lifetime, … Read more
