OG Anunoby missed the first NBA Finals run of his career when the Raptors won the title in 2019, as he was sidelined for the playoffs due to an emergency appendectomy. But this upcoming series is exactly why the Knicks traded two homegrown fan favorites for him in 2023, Peter Sblendorio writes for the New […]

O’Shaquie Foster spent some time talking to the media after his successful title defense against Raymond Ford over the weekend in Houston. Here Foster talks a bit about the fight and what transpired, and looks towards a showdown with rival Shakur Stevenson after breaking down the bad blood between them. Here’s some of what he […]
Although the heartbreaking loss in game 7 was a sad way to end the season, it’s hard to find a Raptors fan that isn’t full of hope for next season. Already they outperformed in almost every metric, they clinched the playoffs (a feat that hasn’t been achieved since 2022) and phenomenal performances from the younger […]
The Nuggets could make changes next year. This Raptors trade swap should be considered.
Going into the 2025-26 season, Ron Harper Jr.’s NBA career was seemingly stuck in mud. After going undrafted in 2021 out of Rutgers, he began his career with the Toronto Raptors for the first two seasons of his career where he played a total of 10 NBA games. He started last season with Boston in […]
An Indiana Hoosier will be competing on the grandest stage in men’s professional basketball for the second consecutive year. OG Anunoby has returned to the NBA Finals for the first time since winning his first championship with the Toronto Raptors in 2019, this time with the New York Knicks. He follows Thomas Bryant, who joined […]
Often outworked and sometimes unable to match the Toronto Raptors' defensive intensity during a seven-game first-round escape, the Cleveland Cavaliers went the distance for a second straight series against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons.
Scottie Barnes was left off an All-NBA roster this year, and the Toronto Raptors forward was understandably not a fan of the snub.
Now that Masai Ujiri is back at the helm of an NBA club with the Dallas Mavericks, could he be thinking of dealing with his old team north of the border on a huge trade? All eyes are on Kyrie Irving's future in Dallas as the offseason starts to move along, and there have been many suggested potential trade partners already. We recently took a look at a blockbuster that could move Kyrie to a Western Conference contender. Another rumor that comes to us would be the potential of Ujiri calli...
The reality of being the only Canadian team in the NBA is one of highs and lows for the Toronto Raptors. It means having the entire country (except *maybe* Vancouver) united to cheer for the team, and the spirit of an entire nation behind the squad. It also means a gulf between the Raptors and […]
With the Raptors’ offseason begun in full force, the franchise has seen its rookie receive the team’s first major individual award of the 2025-26 season. Collin Murray-Boyles has been named to the All-Rookie Second Team, the first Toronto player to receive the award since Scottie Barnes in 2022. It has been a stellar season for […]
If the Toronto Raptors can bring Kawhi Leonard back to the 6, the landscape of the NBA would change almost immediately.
The Raptors were a team of questions this year, and while it might be hard to answer every single one, it’s a good bet that a right answer might start and end with Scottie Barnes. Who was the team’s best player? Scottie Barnes. Who anchored them defensively? Scottie Barnes. Who stepped up when things looked […]
CLEVELAND — James Harden was the last player on the practice floor after the Cleveland Cavaliers’ lone tune-up between Games 2 and 3 of their first-round series against the Toronto Raptors. Everyone else was hurrying out of the team’s facility to prepare for the flight to Canada later that afternoon. Harden picked up something while […]
The Dallas Mavericks made something of a surprising hire on Friday after welcoming Masai Ujiri in as president of basketball operations and alternate governor in a press conference on Tuesday. The Mavericks announced that Mike Schmitz will be the team’s next general manager, working under Ujiri. All of a sudden, the uncertainty surrounding Ujiri’s titles, […]
The Dallas Mavericks shocked the basketball world on Monday morning by hiring veteran executive Masai Ujiri as their new President of Basketball Operations and Alternate Governor. Ujiri enjoyed largely successful stints as the top decision maker with the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors throughout the 2010s, winning both an Executive of the Year award and […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t assemble the highest-paid roster in the league just to get out of the first round. “We haven’t done anything,” Donovan Mitchell said after his team closed out the Toronto Raptors in seven games. “It’s just the first round.” The Cavs will have their hands full against a 60-win Detroit Pistons team […]
The Dallas Mavericks have hired Masai Ujiri as team president and alternate governor, concluding a six-month search process, the organization announced on Monday. Ujiri spent 13 seasons leading the Toronto Raptors from 2013 to 2025 and was at the helm during the franchise’s 2018-19 NBA Championship. He made bold moves en route to Toronto’s only […]
Six months after the tumultuous tenure of Nico Harrison ended with a rare mid-season firing of an executive, it appears the Dallas Mavericks have found their replacement. ESPN reported Monday that the Mavericks have hired former Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets executive Masai Ujiri to be Dallas’ new team president and alternate governor. The Dallas […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers emerged from the rock fight against the Toronto Raptors. It was far from the prettiest series on the first-round slate. The number of times I thought this team was dead in the water was more than two hands can count. After RJ Barrett’s moonshot homage to Kawhi Leonard, it seemed like this […]
CLEVELAND — Reputations don’t change overnight, especially ones built through years of playoff failures. The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t alter how they were perceived with a gutsy 114-102 Game 7 win over the Toronto Raptors. They did, however, show that they don’t have to be defined by previous postseason letdowns. Jarrett Allen was the exact opposite […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers are moving on, courtesy of a certain Fro. Let’s check on tonight’s winners and losers. WINNER – Jarrett **c**** Allen I’m not sure if there was a more encouraging way for the Cavs to exorcise some demons and advance to the second round than Jarrett Allen going full-on beast mode in a […]
