We The Champs

Posted on June 14, 2019 by

NBA Finals, Game 5: Too Much Talk

Posted on June 11, 2019 by

I don’t really feel like writing about this game. Not because the Raptors lost by one point and have to go back to Oakland for a Game 6, but because of all the chatter around it. It’s just been so … Continue reading →

Posted on June 3, 2019 by

NBA Finals, Game 1: Something is Different

Posted on May 31, 2019 by

After last night, I think it’s clear this is not the same Toronto Raptors team I’ve been watching all my life. The team I grew up watching would’ve crumbled on a stage this big. They would’ve been intimidated by the … Continue reading →

I woke up it’s Game 7, I’ll wait until 11, just to see if the Raptors have won. I think they got a lot of hope, but I never know for sure, what’s another year full of nope, when you’re spending every … Continue reading →

Up and Down The Court

Posted on October 16, 2018 by

I wish the NBA weren’t so predictable. There is no point to this upcoming season. The Golden State Warriors are going to win the championship. Oops, spoiler alert. Can we just act like it’s a video game and simulate all … Continue reading →

The DeRozan Trade

Posted on July 19, 2018 by

Today was a frustrating day. I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll start with the facts, and a few deep breaths. The Toronto Raptors traded DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and a protected 2019 first round pick, to the San … Continue reading →
