A coin flip. Something as luck-based as a coin flip should never change a franchise significantly, right? Wrong. We’re talking about the coin flip that determined whether the Golden State Warriors or Toronto Raptors would get the 7th pick in the draft.

I love fantasy basketball. It’s the closest experience to reliving the day to day responsibilities of a NBA General Manager and few things are more enjoyable in life than hoisting your league’s trophy whilst bragging to your comrades. And when you are a Toronto Raptors fan, it’s especially amusing to draft one of your home-town … Read more
The Toronto Raptors were a team last season that struggled to guard, finishing in the bottom third of the league defensively.

The Raptors had dealt a protected 1st round pick (with multiple protections), and Gary Forbes, to the Houston Rockets to acquire guard, Kyle Lowry, who was coming off an … Read more
At the end of an article I wrote, I noted that this current Toronto Raptors squad is not a championship caliber contender, “but that’s a story for another day”. Well, here’s that story. If you’ve been living under a rock, Bryan Colangelo was extended as president but removed as general manager of the Toronto Raptors. Masai Ujiri has taken over … Read more
Entering yet another season filled with expectations (that being to make the post-season), the Toronto Raptors failed to live up to the hype once again. After a relatively busy off-season that saw the Toronto Raptors acquire some valuable assets, many were fairly optimistic about the season that was to come. Instead, many Raptors’ fans are … Read more
