One of the most interesting games in the Toronto Raptors calendar — LeBron and the LA Lakers in Toronto. It comes at a pretty inconvenient time for the Raptors, honestly.

With apologies to those dying to know Cody Williams’ grade for the night, I’m going to avoid writing a paragraph about players who appeared in fewer than 10 minutes tonight. Nothing personal to Cody and Taylor; they just didn’t leave an imprint in this game. I’m still sending a shoutout to Oscar Tshiebwe, though, the […]

LeBron finished with just eight points, going 4-17 […]

In 2008, Chris Paul was the most annoying person living rent-free in my head. During the Western Conference Semifinals, Paul averaged a very annoying 23.7 points and 10.7 assists per game in that series against my beloved San Antonio Spurs. He and David West (also a future former Spur) were the thorn in the Spurs’ […]
