Jontay Porter just got banned from the NBA for life for violating the leagues gambling policies. This is a wild end to the Toronto Raptors season... Trading away our best players (OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, etc), players being injured, tanking, etc. Hopefully, the Raptors end up getting that 6th overall pick!
This is a big playoff preview pod! In the NBA Eastern Conference, Alex and Andy are on the same page about the Miami Heat getting into the 8 seed, but getting beat by the Boston Celtics. Andy thinks Joel Embid and the Philadelphia 76ers will beat Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks (Without Julius Randle)... Alex thinks the Knicks will beat the 76ers. The Milwaukee Bucks will beat the Indiana Pacers, The Cleveland Cavs will beat the Orlando Magic. In the NBA Western Conference, the OKC Thunder will beat the Sacramento Kings, The Denver Nuggets will beat the LA Lakers (even though that series will be really interesting), Alex thinks the Phoenix Suns big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal will beat Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves... Andy thinks the opposite here! Alex thinks Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks will beat Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and James Harden and the LA Clippers, while Andy thinks the Clippers are winning that series! What are YOUR thoughts?

The Toronto Raptors lose by 48 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves, which the largest margin of defeat in franchise history. That was embarrassing. What’s even more embarrassing is that they've dropped 15 straight, 2 losses away from the franchise record that was during the 1997-98 season. Alex Drobin and Andy Redding dive into it all!

This was arguably the worst NBA all star weekend of all time. The rising starts competition was the one of two decent things on the menu, because there’s a target score for every game, and Benedict Mathurin and Jaden Ivey got into it a little bit. Good little rivalry brewing there. NBA all star Saturday night was horrendous, with the skills competition being a joke, with our boy Scottie Barnes giving ZERO you know whats…lol The NBA three point contest was the only other piece that was entertaining, because 4 players were tied at 26 made threes going into the finals, where Damian Lillard won back-to-back contests. He was also the MVP of the NBA Sunday all-star game. The dunk contest might have been the worst part of this whole weekend! With all due respect to Mac McClung, it’s still tough to believe that a guy who’s not even in the league won the dunk contest…. Jaylen Brown came out with the worst dunks in contest history. He’s a way better dunker than what he showed. Hopefully, it’s better next year!

Pascal Siakam returns to Toronto for the first time since being traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers beat the Raptors, with Siakam scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Tyrese Haliburton puts up 21 points and 12 assists as well. All Star Scottie Barnes had a big game with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. However, Raptors fans did not like how he walked off the floor in the Raptors previous loss against VICTOR WEMBANYAMA and the San Antonio Spurs. We get into the NBA All-star weekend festivities, primarily, the three point contest, which features; Malik Beasley, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton, Damian Lillard, Lauri Markkanen, Donovan Mitchell, Karl-Anthony Towns, Trae Young.... Who do you think will win this thing? Also, the dunk contest doesn't seem tooooo exciting, featuring Jaylen Brown, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Mac McClung, Jacob Toppin. Who do you think will win this?

The Toronto Raptors acquire Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji in trade with the Utah Jazz. The Raptors also send off Dennis Shroeder, Otto Porter J and Thaddeus Young. The New York Knicks add Bojan Bogdanović from the Detroit Pistons. Massive trade that brings them further into that contender status. Gordon Hayward traded to the OKC Thunder, bolstering the Thunder line up. Daniel Gafford goes to the Dallas Mavericks. This was our underrated trade of the day. What are your thoughts?

Should the Toronto Raptors TANK now to retain their draft pick? Who is the most untouchable Raptors player in terms of a trade? Are the Clippers hated in the NBA? Does James Harden deserve to win an NBA championship? The Toronto Raptors beat the Chicago Bulls last night to break their 5 game losing streak. The boys are not impressed with this team right now... What's missing?

Did the Toronto Raptors just get fleeced by Indiana for Pascal Siakam? We couldn't get one of the Pacers young stars? The boys aren't sure about this one...smh Could the Raptors have gotten a better package from any other NBA team?
The Raptors will reportedly receive three first-round picks as well as Bruce Brown and Jordan Nwora in the blockbuster deal that comes three weeks ahead of the Feb. 8 NBA trade deadline. The Pelicans are also involved in the trade, sending Kira Lewis Jr. to Toronto.

Is Jayson Tatum the best player in the NBA right now? Against the Toronto Raptors, it sure seemed like it! Controlling the game in every aspect... Great defence, hitting big time shots, making the right plays EVERY TIME... Jayson Tatum might not be the MVP this year, but it seems like he'll get there in the next couple of years. The Toronto Raptors brought it close, but the game slipped away in the final few minutes when Derrick White hit an absolute DAGGER from the corner. Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes had off games as well and the Raptors couldn't buy a bucket at the end of the 3rd quarter and in the fourth. RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley played well, but the team just didn't have enough! What are your thoughts?

Who won the trade? We think that both teams did really well here... RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley will bring more scoring to the Raptors (who just lost to the Detroit Pistons, with the Pistons breaking their 28 game losing streak). We don't think the Raptors are too mad about it though, because they have two monsters coming in. The Knicks get one of best defenders in the league in OG Anunoby, which is a perfect addition to what they already have. RJ Barrett wasn't fitting into that line up, and was barely getting any playing time in fourth quarters of games. OG can be a lockdown defender when the Knicks make their playoff run this year. Malachi Flynn and Precious Achiuwa have a fresh start in New York. They'll both get burn and we wish them nothing but the best.
A big thank you to OG, Malachi and Precious!

We also bring in the human trade machine, Brandon P Hayes, to go over some possible trade scenarios for Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, OKC Thunder are teams that come to mind. RJ Barrett for OG Anunoby... Who says no?!?!

Is Steph Curry more fun to watch than Nikola Jokic?!? How could the Toronto Raptors be down for three quarters to the Charlotte Hornets? Changes need to be made! Pascal Siakam with 27 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists Scottie Barnes with 22 points, 17 rebounds (tied for career-high), 7 assists 4 starters were out for the Hornets, and the Raptors still couldn't put them away until the fourth quarter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo sets a Bucks franchise record with 64 points... Then doesn't get the ball! Indiana Pacers Rookie Oscar Tshiebwe scored his first basket in the league, so the Pacers took the ball. Reportedly, Mark Cuban is on the Indiana Pacers side. Kind of random...lol The Toronto Raptors Beat the Atlanta Hawks last night. Another big night from Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes. Did the win make any difference in the SIakam trade rumours? Tough so say. Raptors play Hawks again Friday. Clippers are on a 5 game winning streak. Can they keep it going?

The Pascal Siakam trade rumours are heating up! Top front runners are the Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks and the Sacramento Kings as per Shams Charania. Would you trade Pascal right now? Also, the Toronto Raptors took another bad loss on Monday agains the New York Knicks. The Raptors are mediocre and need an overhaul. The last three guys on the team who were there during the championship are Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Chris Boucher. Sad times! Is Demar Derozan a better dunker than Vince Carter? Zach Edey and Purdue win in Toronto...

Did the Toronto Raptors win over the Phoenix Suns mean anything? Scottie Barnes and OG Anunoby held Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to a combined 13/42. Is Dennis Schroeder the flashiest passing Raptor of all time? The Raptors did lose to the Brooklyn nets the other night though, so what does all of this mean? Thoughts on the Philadelphia 76ers, Tyrese Maxey, Fred VanVleen, Alperen Sengun, etc.

Takeaways: The Toronto Raptors are excruciatingly obnoxiously mediocre. The only bright spot was Scottie Barnes. His line was 29 points 9 rebounds 7 assists. Great going to the rim, backing guys down, the handles are amazing, hitting 3s, playing good defence on everyone OTHER than Damian Lillard, who had 37 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals. We look up and Dame has 20 in the beginning of the second q,… Like is this guy going for 50!?!? Jakob Poeltl had 13 points 11 boards… but one thing we noticed is that when he’s at the top of the key, or free throw extended, he does not shoot, and he doesn’t even LOOK at the rim. Jalen McDaniels was the only one on the court who had a double digit +/- 18 mins, +21. The Raptors need to start playing him more. Two special shout outs! Markquis Nowell hit his FIRST ever points in the league from the free throw line. Quick little shout out to Garret Temple, the best dressed man on the Raptors… came in and hit a three last night, left. Like a don.

Takeaways: Pascal Siakam absolutely COOKS the Wizards, dropping 39 points 11 rebounds 7 assists in 38mins. Game winning bucket over there as well. Should the Raptors REALLY be considering trading this All-star?? Chris Boucher with a few timely buckets in transition + a massive block to seal the game... Love it. Did the Wizards lose this game, or did the Raptors take it from them? Gradey Dick hits some threes, Raptors are 5 - 5, life is okay, for now?lol

Takeaways: Raptors got blown out by the Celtics last night 117 - 94. The Toronto Raptors were down big in the second quarter, came back, but the Celtics proved to be too much! Jakob Poeltl is not getting enough playing time. 10 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 66% from the field, tied for 3rd in the league. Averaging 24.8 mins/game. If Lebron James is averaging 35 mins/game, we can get Jakob to 30/game. Plays really hard, pounds the glass, plays good positional defence, challenges at the rim, amazing roller, why is he only getting 24.8 mins/game? We don’t get it. The Porzingis trade was the best deal of the season for any team. He is proving to be an absolute monster. 19.6pts 6.2 boards, 1.8 assists, shooting 55.8% from the field Rolling to the rim, throwing down everything, massive rebounds, great defence. He’s so long, he affects everything, just like Wemby… And speaking of Wemby, check out this stat…. Kristaps is 7’2 and 240lbs, and Wemby is 7’4 and 210lbs - 19.9pts, 8.6 boards, 2 assists, shooting 46% from the field (Wemby)

Pascal Siakam puts up 31 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists for the Toronto Raptors in a win over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs could keep Siakam from finishing in and around the rim, with OG Anunoby hitting threes and dunking all over the Dallas bigs. Is Siakam still the first option on this Raptors team? Has OG Anunoby's trade value gone up to what it was last year? How will the Raptors finish the season?

Will Scottie be the NBA's most improved player in the league this year? Note the massive offensive rebound in the 4th quarter, backdown and SLAM over Jeremy Sochan. Dunk of the year? OG Anunoby with a huge game, hitting 7 three point shots and playing stellar defence. Is Victor Wembanyama already a superstar? 5 blocks in this game, tons of changed shots, great offensive play, etc.

The Toronto Raptors blow out the Milwaukee Bucks in a surprising fashion, after a big loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Were the Raptors just playing harder against a better team? Was the Raptors defence getting the better of the Bucks offence? Is Scottie Barnes one of the strongest players in the NBA? Along with OG Anunoby? Is Dennis Schroder as good as we think he is? Is Lebron James the best player of all time over Michael Jordan? The debate continues. The Los Angeles Lakers with a hug win over the LA Clippers. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George put up crazy numbers, but Lebron gets the better of them. Alex Drobin and Andy Redding dive into it all!

Did the LA Clippers just fleece the Philadelphia 76ers for James Harden? In exchange for Harden, the Clippers sent Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum, KJ Martin, Marcus Morris Sr. and draft picks to the 76ers. Along with Harden, Philadelphia is sending P.J. Tucker to Los Angeles. Philadelphia also received a 2026 first-round pick (from the Clippers, via the Oklahoma City Thunder), a 2028 first-round pick, two second-round picks and a pick swap from LA, per league sources. Are the Raptors just a BAD team this year with Scottie Barnes being the only bright spot? Should the Raptors blow it up?
