I am finding it easy to get hyped for most of the players on the Raptors roster right now. They have an exciting team filled with homegrown young talent. But a few players, eh. Marc Gasol, he can go away now that he’s got his championship. And Rondae Hollis-Jefferson? Bleh bleeh. A 6’6″ dude with…

Terence Davis 15 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2019)
Raptors’ previous strategy for winning a championship: trade for an up-and-coming superstar and build around him. Raptors’ current strategy for winning a championship: find a random undrafted guy, sign him, and play him 30 minutes so that he may become the next up-and-coming superstar. I’m talking about Terence Davis here, but I could be talking…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 30 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/13/2019)
Attention Raptors organization: you are supposed to be bad this year. Your superstar left without a second thought, the superstar that brought you a championship, and now you’re supposed to collapse in a pile of bad contracts and over-tasked role-players. That’s what teams do when they lose their star. They become bad. So what are…
Read MoreChris Boucher 13 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/11/2019)
Chris “The Bouchebag” Boucher has officially been unleashed. I am comfortable stating that unequivocally since he has now had two good games in a row. All it took was some minutes given in good faith to unlock the potential that was bubbling within his stringy body. Marc Gasol had better start packing his bags and…
Read MoreTerence Davis 13 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2019)
Sorry Raptors fans, but while I was pondering the question of who the best undrafted rookie is in the NBA this year, debating between Terence Davis and Matt Thomas, I realized I forgot about Kendrick Nunn who wins in a landslide. I really wanted to give the Raptors organization some props for finding playable players…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/10/2019)
Just out of curiosity, I went back and looked at what I wrote about Fred VanVleet in the first ever vid I made for him, a 10-point (wow, where were my standards) performance in January of 2017. Nothing really juicy, what would’ve been great is if I accurately predicted that he would in the future…
Read MoreChris Boucher 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/10/2019)
Behold, another player who the Warriors, so confident that their dynasty would last forever and believing there was no need to develop young talent, let slip away. It seemed a minor decision at the time, to let a two-way contract player go, but you reap what you sow, and the Warriors are reaping nothing but…
Read MoreNorman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
Since we know for a fact that Norman Powell plays best when he’s facing off against the Bucks, the team that traded him for the trash bag full of used diapers that was Greivis Vasquez, I have a bold new plan to ensure that Powell can play to his maximum potential: After every game, trade…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
This isn’t fair. Things were supposed to happen a certain way, and now they’re not happening that way at all. In case you weren’t aware, let me fill you in: Kawhi Leonard left the Raptors during the offseason. He ran away to Los Angeles because he couldn’t deal with the stress of trying to repeat…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 21 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2019)
I don’t even know what “Mafuzzy Chef”, supposedly one of Serge Ibaka’s nicknames, is supposed to mean. I’m fairly ignorant of the off-court lives of NBA players, but does this have something to do with that cooking show he does where he makes his teammates eat crazy African stuff? I bet it does. I bet…
