• Raptors escape Indiana with a narrow win

  23-11-2023 14:38 via raptorsrepublic.com
  What a game! This game took some years out of Raptors fans’ life expectancy but hey, at least they won right?
  The first quarter was off to a good start as the Raptors lost the tip, got a stop and took the lead 2-0 very early but after that, Indiana hit Toronto with a 10-0 run forcing Coach Darko to take the first timeout of the game. The Pacers would eventually grow their lead to 12 in the quarter, but that’s when the Raptors fought back. Or should we say Siakam fought back? He led t

  That’s the face you make when you lose coin flips. The first game of the season came down to the wire as the 905 and Long Island Nets were with four points or less throughout clutch time (when the scoring margin’s within five points with five or less minutes left in the game).After Markquis Nowell nailed a clutch 3 over Nets two-way Jalen Wilson to inch within one, he mismanaged the shot clock and hucked a bank shot with 15.7 seconds left, missing the rim entirely.

  When most people think of Cormac McCarthy, if they think of him at all, they likely think of his young, swashbuckling cowboys that are so commonly his protagonists -- think The Kid in Blood Meridian or John Grady Cole in All the Pretty Horses or Billy Parham in The Crossing. It might be surprising to know that McCarthy actually didn't become famous until he was already in his 60s. He was born in 1933 and didn't publish Blood Meridian until the 1980s, The Road and No Country for Old Men until the

  Pascal Siakam came into this season with the expectations of a multiple time All-NBA player which he had failed to meet for multiple games. In last night’s game however, he finally looked like the dominant All-NBA player Toronto has been waiting for. Going into last night’s game Dallas had a record of 6-1 and were one of the league’s top offenses as well. It took a massive group effort from Toronto but they were able to pick up a 127-116 win vs Dallas.Pascal Siakam played like

  You may remember the Toronto Raptors’ January 1, 2023 game against the Milwaukee Bucks for the Raptors’ offensive ineptness, scoring zero points for the first 6.5 minutes of the game. But there was one area in which Toronto actually scored brilliantly.
  The Raptors scored 1.533 points per possession (ppp) on inbounding set plays, including sidelines out-of-bounds (SLOB) or baselines out-of-bounds (BLOB). That game ranked among the 20 most efficiency SLOB and BLOB games in the league t

  The 2020-21 and 2021-2022 Golden State Warriors were very similar, if you ignore the results. The leaders on both teams were Steph Curry and Draymond Green, and they played more games in the shortened 2020-21 season than the following one. Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole were young, variable contributors. Both teams were elite defenses that had fantastic effective field-goal percentages.
  Then you add in the records, and you see that the 2022 team won the championship, while the 2021 team didn't

  Last night’s game was one of the most dramatic finishes for Toronto in a while. In a game where they were down 19 at halftime and scored a mere 35 points in the first 24 minutes, the result of the game was quite stunning. Toronto was able to manufacture this comeback on the back of an outstanding fourth quarter from young star Scottie Barnes. Barnes was a large part of the comeback efforts but this was a group effort for sure.In the early stages of the game Toronto looked and played very l

Both plays resulted in missed threes, and after the second, the ball found Siakam who hit from downtown – the Raptors first basket of the season, and an indicator of things to come.
