I’m breathing many sighs of relief now that the trade deadline is long gone. Aside from the Austin Daye blockbuster, the Toronto Raptors roster is still in tact. After much speculation, it is clear that Kyle Lowry will remain a part of this franchise for at least the rest of the 2013/14 season. We know Masai Ujiri doesn’t mess around. In other words, if … Read more
Tonight was another game of catch-up in Toronto. In spite of a late fourth-quarter push by the Toronto Raptors, their Eastern Conference rival Chicago Bulls pulled through for a 94-92 win in the last regular season meeting between both teams. The home team fell behind early and never fully recovered. DeMar DeRozan poured in 32 points on 11-25 shooting, while Kyle Lowry produced … Read more
Note: This is a guest post written by Damon Flatman. The Toronto Raptors resumed their campaign tonight in Washington with a victory over the Washington Wizards, by a score of 103-93. The Wizards gritty play and active defense posed a challenge for the Raps early on, and some tough officiating nearly brought them back … Read more
I was starting to get cranky, but the All-Star break is finally over, and Toronto Raptors basketball IS BACK! Tonight, the Raps will play in the USA’s capital against the Washington Wizards. The Raptors (28-24) will face the 6th place Wizards (25-27). This will be yet another important game as the Raps look to pad their place as … Read more
Note: this post will consistently be updated when there are new rumors pertaining to the Raptors. With Thursday’s NBA trade deadline looming, Masai Ujiri and the Toronto Raptors have found themselves in discussion of trade talks once again.

It’s been quite some time since the Toronto Raptors have been in this position. With 28 wins already, the Raptors have found themselves in rather unfamiliar territory; territory that only the team’s most optimistic supporters may had expected them to occupy. Coming into the season, the East was regarded as a noticeably tiered conference that had … Read more
The Toronto Raptors’ success story is secret no more. After a surprising first half of the season, the Raps sit 4 games above .500 at 28-24. After getting praise from superstars Kevin Durant and LeBron James, it is clear that everyone is starting to take notice of the sole team north of the border. It’s evident that … Read more
UPDATE – Wade will play. It’s likely he’s only going to play 5 minutes, however he just can’t pass up padding his ‘All-Star appearances’ stat. Pretty selfish, but I’m not surprised at all. In having a couple of weeks to justify as to why Kyle Lowry was arguably the biggest snub in this year’s All-Star … Read more
“I don’t remember what happened. I opened my eyes and I was in the locker room.” The Toronto Raptors‘ fanbase has yet to recover from Wednesday’s crushing loss against the Sacramento Kings, in which Kyle Lowry was called for a non-existent offensive foul and subsequently ejected. For that night only, robbery was legal in the state of … Read more
Wait, what? DeMar DeRozan has been selected to participate in the All-Star weekend skills challenge. I’m actually shocked at the selection – the guy’s handles and passing ability has improved, but no way it warrants a skills challenge appearance. Kyle Lowry would have made more sense, but the NBA doesn’t seem to like him too much. He will go up against Damian … Read more
