Following the Toronto Raptors & the NBA
A bunch of people dressed up like the Toronto Raptors managed to sneak into the Orlando bubble last night, and played basketball against the Boston Celtics. Of course, they got steamrolled by the excellent men in green, but if our real team had been there…wait…what? Are you sure that was our team? In one of […]
The Toronto Raptors weren’t tested greatly in their last game. However, the opponent tonight is the Boston Celtics, who are capable of punching out anyone’s lights. The Celtics have been a strong title contender for years, but haven’t made an NBA Championship final since 2010. In that series, they held a 3-2 lead over the […]
The Toronto Raptors played down to the level of their competition last night. Fortunately for our team, they only did so in the second half.

The Toronto Raptors face the Miami Heat in the second game under (inside?) the Orlando bubble for both teams. Miami turned their first game from a nailbiter to a laugher with a huge second half.

The Toronto Raptors began their second season last night by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 107-92. We will deal with the bizarre atmosphere in a separate post; for now, just the (game) facts, ma’am. Led by Kyle Lowry, Toronto’s offense, which had hit an air pocket in Q2, rediscovered its mojo in crunch time. The […]
