Toronto’s Terrence Ross must have had a huge dinner because he just got stuffed! OK that was a lame attempt but Ross did have his dunk attempted rejected by Rockets’ Josh Smith (yes he did play defense) in last night’s clash. Ross seemingly had a wide-open baseline and had the ball and his arm cocked […]

Really “Psycho T”? Raptors guard Lou Williams was leading the fast break and had big man Tyler Hansbrough trailing. Lou then made a nifty pass to Hansbrough and instead of gathering the ball and throwing it down with a vicious dunk… well… hmmm… just look at how he handled the situation. (slow clap)

Not only is Raptors’ Kyle Lowry an All-Star, he also is a flop-star. But what makes this flop so wonderful is that Kyle flops in midair against the 76’ers. Lowry was driving to the rim when his defender barely touches him and he flopped so hard in midair and of course he gets the call.

When LeBron James infamously announced he would be joining the Heat in the summer of 2010, the NBA’s first “super team” was officially built, as Chris Bosh of the Raptors would join The Kings and Dwyane Wade in Miami. It was the perfect storm of free agency, media opportunity, and group of superstar players willing […]

The Raptors-Pelicans game went to the wire and with 21 seconds left in the game and the score tied at 93, the Pelicans’ Tyreke Evans showed he can be Mr. Clutch. Evans lowered his head, got into the lane, and scored on the Raptors sending Toronto fans and its team yelling in agony.

The rebranding of the Toronto Raptors is continuing, and we’ve come a long way from the purple raptor days. This is reportedly their new logo, which was seen briefly in a hype video released by the team today. The Maple Leafs and Blue Jays emphasize blue and white in their logos, and it’s pretty great […]

Toronto has the best fanbase in the NBA, at least according to the numbers. The Raptors have the highest home game attendance in the league right now with the Portland Trailblazers, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and Miami Heat in that order. However, we all know that is not the order of the best fanbases in the […]

The Toronto Raptors will be rocking their old school purple jerseys tonight against the Washington Wizards and that got us thinking…what other throwback jerseys do we want to see? Here is a list of 10 jerseys we would like to see teams rock more often on throwback nights.
“I struggled to prove that I belonged. My first couple years in the NBA, my fear was that I was going to go to the D-League – and maybe never get back to the NBA. I was picked 24th and that’s not the cushion that a lottery pick gets in the NBA. You get a few chances, and then you’re done. Then you’re just a label, never to be a frontline guy.
But I didn’t want to be a backup. I hated that label. I did not want to be a backup in this league. I wasn’t going to settle for it, and I think it rubbed people the wrong way. But I didn’t want to be labeled as a journeyman, or a guy who has the talent, but just can’t get it together. I wanted the label of a guy who’s a winner. That’s the most important label you can have in this league.”
