Apparently, though he hasn't played much this season, Banton is starting for short handed Boston tonight.

Fred’s efficiency has reached new lows so far this season but he’s proving people wrong who said he can’t run an offense

If you're disgusted by it, then I recommend you only watch the Sixers when they play the Celtics. That's the only time Philly will not get a favourable whistle.

Feels that says more about the Bulls than the Nets.

Bulls have all but thrown in the towel for the season

The Raptors are a play-in team with 0 upside outside of Barnes. Siakam and OG have peaked, everyone else is a role player. MLSE have been selling a first round exit ceiling to this city for over 3 years.

Honestly not sure where they go from here but I'd hate to see another play-in loss.

Tuned into the fan 590 for the first this year and Will Lou was going on about a charity basketball game. Not the raptors...a game where some out of shape journalists were hooping.

They talked about it in the first 30 minutes. They were pretty brutal to Darko, bench and the direction of the team in general.

Maybe not the Lakers either. But Embiid is currently overpowering AD including some pushoffs, refs not calling it.

Entertaining game full of star power and offense. Tried to watch Gradey and 905 for a bit but it's so unentertaining by comparison. I realize that's obvious

We should be circling the Pistons like vultures. Bad teams do bad things.

They are just awful in every way. About to lose their 14th straight game. Cade with his typical 18 points....on 18 shots.

Just fire masai already. Everyone is just waiting for it anyways. If it's going to happen soon or later might as well get ahead of the schedule.

Nurse turned Embiid’s weakness into his 2nd greatest strength now.

Unreal.

The Clippers have a lot of talent but man it's ugly to watch in the 5-6 games I've seen.

Keyonte George 19/5/3 plus a win against NO. Nice to know he did it against Dyson Daniels an excellent defender including a poster dunk.

Meanwhile Darko doing his best to take Barnes out of the game for the final minutes of closing time

Doing a fine job developing Flynn tho

Return to Toronto Raptors
