Raptors rookie and young guys getting a lot of good reps + showing flashes of where they can impact winning. It’s also worth nothing that they stay competitive. Don’t let go of the rope and battle throughout games. This is probably going to be the recipe the rest of the season.

Incredible how much can change in a year. The Pistons had 8 wins on this date last year. They’re about to win their 8th in a row, against the defending champs, their 33rd win of the season — and basically a LOCK to be a top 6 seed.

Really enjoying how much the ball is zipping for the Raptors so far in this game Gradey, especially, doing a great job of connecting actions together

Smoking hookah and drinking beer on the way to multiple 1st team All-NBA’s, a bunch of MVP votes and an NBA Finals appearance is stuff of legends I don’t think this is the slander they think it is!

Scottie Barnes is QUESTIONABLE for tonight’s game with a hip contusion. Poeltl is also questionable. Garrett Temple is OUT due to personal reasons. All the other usuals also OUT.

Check out @justesbaraheni.bsky.social’s column on Jamison Battle! From undrafted rookie to key Raptors shooter, his journey is about staying present and seizing opportunities. A Hotspurs fan at heart, he’s focused on expanding his game beyond shooting. www.raptorsrepublic.com/2025/02/25/j...

Raptors are going to lose this one but another competitive and close game against a good (admittedly injured) team. Think more than anything that shows you how hard they’re willing to play + bought in they are despite the record.

Jamison Battle is the best shooter in his rookie class. He had to grind his way from an undrafted rookie to signing an NBA contract. I caught up with him to talk about his journey and how he’s able to stay present through it. Enjoy! t.co/sPxYN5dCdD

Haven’t been able to quit the Wolves this season. Theres a VERY good team in there somewhere but it’s about pushing the right buttons, finding the right rotation. Reid has been balling. McDaniels growing offensively. Playing the young guys has helped. Hold on to that stock.

Gradey Dick is probable and Jakob Poeltl is questionable for Tuesday vs Celtics.

Just had a convo with this 50-year old guy in the parking lot and he was complaining to me that he’s addicted to Tik Tok ever since his kids downloaded it on his phone. Seemed legitimately mad that he was losing sleep watching videos for hours. Crazy.

Philly Iggy was so much fun. Everyone will remember him being an all-time great role player (and rightfully so) but he was so electric in Philly when he had to be THE guy.

Immanuel Quickley is knocking down 45% of his pull-up threes this season — #1 in the NBA of players who take 3 or more a game. He’s shooting 42% on above-the-break threes — in the 86th percentile at his position. Elite high volume shooting.

Scottie not able to do as much tonight against the length and size of the Cavaliers. Cleveland also isn't playing in a drop like the Sixers did and so he doesn't have that runway. Cavs are switching and living with the consequences.

The Raptors are down 41-17 after the 1st quarter. That was definitely something.

The Cavs have made as many threes as the Raptors have taken (8).
