It isn’t easy to lose a game where you have (arguably) the two best players on the floor in O.G. Anunoby and Scottie Barnes, both brilliant, and hold the great…

Trent’s track record indicates he will bounce back, as Nick Nurse expects him to. He can be a streaky scorer. An 0-for-9 night is an extreme aberration for Trent, even if he also has 2-for-11 and 2-for-7 games so far this month. He also went 6-for-9 three games ago and 11-for-18 the one before that. The problem is this team has les shooting talent than just about any in the NBA. If Trent are way off, they will have a tough time, more often than not, winning games.

Achiuwa remains a riddle. He was mediocre to even poor for months early last season, before getting increasingly better over the final three months to the point that he was one of the most improved players in the league. This year he started slowly again but found a groove when inserted into the starting lineup. Instead of punishing second units, Achiuwa has been poor. That needs to change, and quickly.

Wow. Nick Nurse played his starting lineup for 27 minutes last night, as much time as you'll ever see from a single lineup in a regulation game.March 11, 2023Is Anthony Davis the best player in NBA history to inexplicably struggle against the Raptors?

Heading into Saturday’s games, the Raptors sat a game up on Washington for the honour of hosting a play-in game, 2.5 back of Atlanta and four back of Miami, which would host the first play-in game and also potentially get two cracks. Chicago is a game back of the Raptors, Indiana just 1.5 . Toronto needs to go 9-5 to reach 500 and 10-4 to avoid a .500 or lower season in two of the last three years, which would be the first time that has happened since Toronto teams were .
