  18-01-2026 17:50 via raptorsrepublic.com
  Quincy Guerrier nearly tipped the game into overtime with 0.2 seconds left on the clock.The Raptors 905 dropped their second game to the Capital City Go-Go, 101-99, on Saturday night, and now sit with a 10-2 record.
  It was a dramatic ending to what was an otherwise ugly slugfest. The game went longer than the previous one, and there were more personal fouls committed. The 905 had 21 personal fouls; the Go-Go, 24. The whistle was loose and the ensuing stoppages compromised the quality of this gam

• Raptors lose highly contested overtime battle against Clippers

  17-01-2026 15:02 via raptorsrepublic.com
  Toronto opened the game up on an 18-4 run which was sparked by their ferocious and suffocating defense to open the game. James Harden saw multiple bodies on many of his on-ball possessions, Toronto swarmed any drives LA could muster, and this led to fastbreak points off of leak outs. Jamal Shead’s fingerprints were all over this one early, especially as a playmaker, his speed empowering him to swing the ball around and slither his way to the basket. He finished the opening period with 10 p

  17-01-2026 05:38 via raptorsrepublic.com
  The Raptors got outscored 20-8 in the final 8 minutes of the game (including overtime). James Harden destroyed them on the other end.
  How the Raptors lost a very winnable game:
  From Samson Folk’s recap:Ingram hasn’t radically altered his game or reached new heights of efficiency. In fact, he’s down across the board in terms of shot making, efficiency and creation with the Raptors. By the numbers, it’s probably his worst playmaking season in 5 years. What he has done thoug

• Loss against Clippers shows unrealized potential of Brandon Ingram in Toronto

  17-01-2026 04:23 via raptorsrepublic.com
  This whole season, Brandon Ingram’s job has been a little bit thankless. He doesn’t get to take the easy transition looks, those go elsewhere. He doesn’t get a bunch of wide open shots manufactured for him, those go elsewhere. He exists in a unique bubble of the Raptors offense that only he occupies, but still remains absolutely essential to the health of the whole thing. Hell, not even his rebounds are easy, as he’s near the top of the team in grabbing the contested ones

  The Raptors 905 were still without their two-way players on Thursday as the Toronto Raptors face injury troubles, and they kept winning anyway.  It was a laborious  effort where the 905 made a boatload of turnovers (21), and didn’t move the ball well, but overcame their deficiencies by killing the Capital City Go-Go on the glass and running hard in transition, driving their 115-104 road vict

  Size is a weird thing in the NBA. Players are measured in many different forms and fashions. We have moved far beyond the idea of height alone to indicate who is… large. I can’t say I was privy to the conversations that were being had about guys like Dennis Rodman or Charles Barkley, who achieved varying amounts of big man things incredibly well while being undersized and differently shaped. But, I do remember Reggie Evans, Kenneth Faried, Montrezl Harrell – players of that na

  The NBA season has officially passed the halfway point, which means early impressions can start turning into outright identities.Looking at the Toronto Raptors, for instance, they’ve now gone 42 games as a top 10 defence, peaking as high as top three and currently ranking fifth. It’s been unorthodox, greater than the sum of its parts, and, above all else, elite.While much of that stems from the spearheading efforts of defensive stalwarts like Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles,
