I think they will make the playoffs. Maybe 5th. Maybe 4th?
"The Bank" – Scotiabank arena. Rogers Centre is where the Jays play.
Most likely with the Knicks or Lakers
Raps are coming for the 1 seed
This team can contend
To think they hated masai for trading for him
Nice of you to mention the coach, no one is else is doing it.
no not derozan
The cavs are contenders but Raps are not …great logic
The Raptors they are on a rollšÆ
The Mamu Raptors
This nba season it has been solid so far #Great #Content
No response on Demarā¦ love the guy but we have a taller version named BI whoās killin it lol
We may never lose again
The G-League Raptors 905 team is 6 – 0, so the depth extends to contract player Jonathan Mogbo, and 2 way players, AJ Lawson, Chucky Hepburn and Alijah Martin.
Go Raps!
Zena's analysis is simply amazing.
Think one of the only pieces missing for the Raps is a backup rim-protecting-big.
They swept the Cavs.
They are contender to win the east … but nobody in the east is a contender. Maybe Detroit, maybe.
"This season is all about data" talking about a team that is running over the league. Why is it always, even from some local sports analysts, a "this won't last mentality"?
It reminds me of the Blue Jays this year where everyone was saying the same thing.
"Even though the Cavs weren't at full strength" Raptors weren't at full strength either, yet not even a part of the conversation.
No wonder Toronto has a hard time recruiting star free agents, even if they do well it doesn't get the same respect.
awesome video. Excellent analysis. subscribed!
Hiā¦? I donāt understand. Why canāt Raps make the playoffs?
It will last forever š
We would be more dangerous if we get herb and a serviceable backup big ! I think we should definitely go after herb though !
ā»ļøš¦/Raptors loss somewhere in Knicks, Blazers or Lakers. If they beat Lakers it's a good sign. If they get all 3, amazing. Kuminga would be a good fit in Charlotte.
