It has become evident to me that the Serge Ibaka/Fred VanVleet pick and pop is unstoppable. Completely unstoppable. That’s my OFFICIAL DTB DECLARATION. Ibaka is currently shooting an incredible 73% on two-point jumpers longer than sixteen feet, meaning that the Raptors should run this play nonstop until one of two things happens: a.) Ibaka stops…

Serge Ibaka 22 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2018)
The Bucks tonight were content to let Serge Ibaka beat them. I wasn’t keeping exact count, but it seemed like every three he took was wide open. Some of them egregiously wide open. Kawhi Leonard attracted the bulk of the Bucks’ attention, as they tried to make other players beat them, and their strategy worked….
Read MoreFred VanVleet 19 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2018)
The big story of tonight’s Raptors-Bucks matchup is that Kyle Lowry scored no points, continuing his steadfast commitment to not scoring the basketball anymore. The smaller story of tonight’s Raptors-Bucks matchup is that it turns out that the Raptors’ bench mob from last year was actually just Pascal Siakam being a beast and now that…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 24 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
Jonas Valanciunas’ minutes per game have gone down ever since his second year in the league. That’s the bad news. The good news is, his points per game have stayed about the same. Obviously, that means he’s getting better at scoring as he adds more years to his resume. And he’s being rewarded for his…

Am I seeing things or did Jonas Valanciunas just take the hugest dump EVER right on Joel Embiid’s face? The full title for this vid should be “Jonas Valanciunas 26 Points/1 Mondo Lithuanian DUMP Full Highlights (12/5/2018)”, just to give people a more accurate idea of what they’re getting into before clicking on this vid….
Read MorePascal Siakam Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2018)
I was so, so wrong about Pascal “Cameroonian Joel Embiid” Siakam. I didn’t go out and say straight up that he sucked (well maybe I did), but I certainly critized him for not being able to shoot as well as displayed a general lack of enthusiasm for him. I probably wasn’t even way off base;…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 18 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Fred “Vleet of Voot” VanVleet was weirdly amazing last year for the Raptors. He had sick advanced stats despite just okay regular stats, and every bench unit he was on crushed the competition. I don’t want to say that he was untouchable for Raptors fans, but let’s just say I have an archive of screenshotted…
Read MorePascal Siakam 21 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
Look how happy Pascal Siakam looks. Don’t you wish you could be that happy? Sadly, such happiness is locked away from you. Forever. Because you don’t EVER get to be teammates with Kyle Lowry, ever, no matter what you do or how hard you try. Sad, isn’t it? Siakam gets to be teammates with Lowry…

Everyone loves Vince Carter. It may not have been true while he was lazing it up at once stop or another (I think there still are Phoenix fans who want him dead, or at least maimed), but it’s true now. But while he may still be able to kinda get things done on the offense…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 24 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Kyle Lowry had 17 assists tonight, and by my unofficial count, 16 of them went to Jonas Valanciunas, and one of them went to Nick Nurse. I think a fruit basket or something is in order, because Valanciunas graciously let Lowry have one of the best passing games of his career. Don’t ask me why…
