Posted on May 8, 2017, by Travis Pulver With only one game Saturday night, NBA fans had three for their viewing pleasure on Sunday—and they didn’t suck. Boston and Houston did blow out their opponents, but they were still a lot of fun to watch. Surprisingly, the Raptors gave the Cavaliers a run for their […]
Posted on May 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver The longer the NBA postseason goes on, the better the game are supposed to be, right? Well—not this year. The Golden State Warriors are making their opponents look like JV practice squads. The Celtics and Wizards can’t decide if they want to be awesome or not. The […]
Posted on May 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver For the Toronto Raptors to win a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they need to do certain things. They can’t let LeBron James dominate the game (easier aid than done of course), but even if he does, they still have a shot […]
Posted on May 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver The only problem with sweeping your opponent in a playoff series is the time you may have to wait to face your next opponent. While rest is a good thing for basketball players, so is rhythm, momentum, and being in sync with your teammates. When you rest […]
Posted on April 25, 2017, by Travis Pulver There comes a time in every playoff series when it becomes apparent who the better teams are. The truly dominant ones will win the first four games and sweep their opponents. Some teams may take a few games to get their act together—but when they do, it […]
Posted on April 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver After the way the Milwaukee Bucks destroyed the Toronto Raptors in Game Three, fans were probably confident that their team could take care of business in Game Four. But if the Raptors stars decided to wake up, it may not be as easy. Atlanta hoped that heading […]
Posted on April 21, 2017, by Travis Pulver Often times it is the higher seeded team that ends up winning the series—and with good reason. They are seeded higher because they won more game. Theoretically, since they won more games they must be the better than the lower seeded teams. So when they play a […]
Posted on April 19, 2017, by Travis Pulver The NBA Playoffs continued Tuesday night with the promise of even more great action. Could Giannis Antetokounmpo lead the Bucks to another upset win over Toronto? Would Boston wake up or would Chicago take down the Celtics once again? How much would the Jazz miss Rudy Gobert? […]
Posted on April 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver With a record of 42-40, the Milwaukee Bucks are not exactly a team that many are expecting much from in the playoffs. While they do have some promising talent, in the playoffs, promising talent is not enough to get it done. Whatever talent a team has must […]
Posted on April 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Toronto Raptors would love to be the team that finally dethrones the Cleveland Cavaliers. They would love to become the big dog and kick LeBron James and company off the Eastern Conference’s porch. But to get that chance, they will first have to get past the […]
Posted on April 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver The NBA’s regular season wrapped up Wednesday night. While there was nothing of significance going on in the Western Conference, over in the Eastern Conference, there were still a number of playoff scenarios still alive heading into the 82nd game of the season for several teams. With […]
In their first home match of the season the Washington Wizards will have to face one of the strongest sides of the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors. The Canadian team has very high expectations this season as they look to pose a serious threat to the Cleveland Cavaliers or any other team aiming for the […]
The Denver Nuggets travel to Air Canada Centre to play the Toronto Raptors on Monday, October 31, 2016, looking to continue their string of good results as they beat the Raptors both times last season. The Raptors, on the other hand, will want to finish the last of their three-game home stretch with a win […]
The Toronto Raptors will be hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers this Friday, on October 28th. Both teams aim to reach the very Top of the Eastern conference and their first matchup could set up the tone for the remainder of their season!!!
Beginning the season 2015-2016 as an underdog, although dismissed by many NBA experts, the Toronto Raptors played the best season in the history of the franchise. Led by their excellent head coach Dwane Casey, the Raptors finished the season with an overall record of 56-26, winning the Atlantic Division and finishing 2nd in Eastern Conference. […]
Posted on May 28, 2016 by Travis Pulver We all expected it to happen. We expected the Cleveland Cavaliers to make it back to the NBA Finals this year. We didn’t expect the Toronto Raptors to make fans sweat a little with a pair of well-played games on their home court—but they did. Toronto had […]
Posted on May 26, 2016 by Travis Pulver No one expected much from the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals. After the way they were destroyed by the Cavaliers in Cleveland in Games One and Two, it appeared as if those expectations were going to become a reality. Then the series moved to Toronto, […]
Posted on May 24, 2016 by Travis Pulver In Game One and Two of the Eastern Conference Finals, fans saw what they expected. The Cleveland Cavaliers had no trouble notching a pair of wins at home to take a 2-0 series lead before the series moved north of the border. Some believed the Raptors would […]

The group that owns both the NHL’s Maple Leafs and the NBA’s Raptors, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. also […]
Posted on May 22, 2016 by Travis Pulver The Toronto Raptors have not been getting a lot of credit for being as good. They have not looked the part in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals but, to be fair, they are not playing the Philadelphia 76ers. There is a reason why […]
Posted on May 20, 2016 by Travis Pulver Heading into Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland Thursday night, the Toronto Raptors knew they had to do a few things differently. They knew they had to make a few more shots while somehow keeping the Cleveland Cavaliers from making as many as they […]
Posted on May 18, 2016 by Travis Pulver The Toronto Raptors are a good team. You have to be a good team to win 56 regular season games and make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. However, after needing to go to Game Seven against the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat they are also a […]
Posted on May 17, 2016 by Travis Pulver It is hard to say who is expected to get beat easier—the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Toronto Raptors. The world sees the Golden State Warriors as being an unstoppable force (which the Thunder proved wrong in Game One). Toronto barely made it through the Indiana Pacers […]
Posted on May 16, 2016 by Travis Pulver The Miami Heat were hoping they could do it again Sunday. They were hoping they could win their fourth elimination game of the postseason. To do so, they would need to frustrate the Raptors in Toronto like they did back in Miami during Game Six—but it just […]
Posted on May 14, 2016 by Travis Pulver With LeBron James on the roster, the Miami Heat did not face too many elimination games. They have already faced three this postseason, two against the Charlotte Hornets in the first round and now one against the Raptors. After beating the Raptors 103-91 Friday night, they get […]
Posted on May 12, 2016 by Travis Pulver LeBron James has commented on how he would like to play his former team, the Miami Heat, in the Eastern Conference Finals. However, if the Toronto Raptors have anything to say about it LeBron may not get his wish. The series between the Heat and the Raptors […]
Posted on May 10, 2016 by Clive Jacobs The Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors will take the floor for Game 5 of the NBA Conference Finals Wednesday Night with the series currently tied at 2 games apiece. The Heat were led by Dwayne Wade with 30 points in Game 4 Monday, including a layup […]
