TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: Toronto Stuns Boston Celtics at ACC
A loss to the Milwaukee Bucks followed by a win against the Boston Celtics is certainly a topic for discussion amongst Raptor columnists. Are the Raptors ‘tanking’ against bad teams for a higher draft pick, or did they simply have a great game tonight? Regardless, the Raps pulled off a huge upset Friday night, taking [...]
TweetRaptors Post Game Report Card: DeRozan’s Big Night not Enough to Lift Raptors over Milwaukee Bucks
DeMar DeRozan’s dad was watching him live on Wednesday night, so a little extra pressure was added to the swingman out of USC.

TweetToronto Raptors: It’s Time for Jerryd Bayless to Start at Point Guard
I don’t believe in this ‘smaller line-up’ the Toronto Raptors have been using lately, starting two point guards, shifting DeMar DeRozan and James Johnson out of their natural positions. The Raps usually get out-matched by a team with size, and ultimately takes a toll on the players bodies. However, I’m officially for Jerryd Bayless starting [...]
