The Toronto Raptors huffed and puffed but just couldn’t blow down the Boston Celtics’ house. Exhausted, battered, and bruised, tired mistakes were ultimately the undoing of the Raptors’ admirable title defence. Eighteen turnovers that led to 31 transition points for the game and 3-of-17 (17.6 percent) shooting from beyond the arc after the first quarter […]
The Raptors will not relinquish their title as defending NBA champions without the scrappiest of street fights. First down 2-0, then 3-2 as the result of an absolutely dismantling performance by the Boston Celtics, Toronto has breathed life back into the series on the back of their 34-year-old All-Star Kyle Lowry, who refuses to let […]
They’ve been told they’re down, they’ve been told they’re out, they’ve been told they’re simply not good enough. It’s never mattered to them before, so why would it matter now? A week ago, the Toronto Raptors trailed the Boston Celtics 2-0 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Semifinals and they said all that mattered was the […]
On Sunday, what we first assumed was a Clippers fan apparently unhappy with Paul George‘s Game 4 performance drafted up a petition calling for the six-time All-Star to be sent to play overseas. We say “first assumed” since a Twitter account that A.) Put out the petition, and B.) Has pretty much an identical name […]
A scuffle broke out in the 3rd quarter of game 1 of the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers first-round playoff series, leading to Kristaps Porzingis being ejected after he received a technical foul, his second of the night.

The defending NBA champion Toronto Raptors begin their quest to repeat on Monday. They finished 7-1 after the 2019-20 season resumed, and in beating the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat early on, made a statement that they very much deserve to be in the thick of the conversation to win it all with the Lakers, […]
The NBA is now contemplating holding the playoffs in a single site without any spectators. Given their history in Las Vegas with hosting the yearly Summer League, the league is considering the idea of keeping all participating teams quarantined in the city as they try to finish the season and crown a champion. “Las Vegas has been a […]
Like probably many people you’ve talked to with even a passing interest in the NBA, Klay Thompson thinks that the Warriors would’ve ended the 2019 Finals as champs if he didn’t tear his ACL in Game 6. Thompson’s injury occurred after attempting a dunk with just over two minutes left in the third quarter of […]
The 2019 NBA Playoffs are officially a wrap, with the Toronto Raptors winning their first championship in franchise history. Even though LeBron James wasn’t involved in the playoffs this year, it was still a wild journey, with plenty of drama, memes, trolling, and of course, great basketball. Obviously, not everything was great. LeBron was surely […]
By now you know the story. Well, actually you’ve known about it for two-and-a-half days. But it’s something that’s going to come up a lot from this moment to the moment that Kevin Durant plays in a meaningful game again, which according to a new report won’t be next season. So, once again, here’s the CliffsNotes. […]
