28 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors come from behind in a gritty and tough game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Raptors allow a season-high 71 points in the first half to a Memphis Grizzlies team that only averages a little over a 100 points a game. The defense and effort the Raptors played with in the first half was disgraceful for a team that is competing to win a championship. Nick Nurse and the staff dug into the players and they responded big time in the second half allowing only 43 points in the 2nd half. Nurse was masterful with his substitutions, play-calling, timeouts and defensive schemes. In the 3rd quarter, they came out with a zone defense that shifted the game into the Raptors' hands. Excellent call and amazing second half. Fred VanVleet was exceptional in this game and is becoming the Steady Freddie that Raptor fans have been accustomed to love. Another solid win to pick up momentum going into one of the biggest games of the season against the Golden State Warriors who come to town Thursday night.Â
28 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors finish off the mini home-stand against the Miami Heat. Miami is a below .500 team but are a tough opponent whether the Raptors face them in the playoffs or in the regular season. The Heat were without Goran Dragic once again who remains sidelined with injuries so they were playing the point guard position as a collection of different guys. The Raptors did a great job pushing the pace and avoiding the need to beat this tough defensive team in the halfcourt. Kawhi and Siakam led the team in scoring and were key factors in getting easy baskets. Lowry found his teammates all game long and ended up with another double-double. Dwyane Wade turned back the clock in this game and dropped a season-high 35 points. He was on fire from the outside and inside as the Raptors struggle to keep the savvy veteran from scoring. But Wade's fantastic effort was not enough as the Raptors win by double-digits. Onto the next one, Raptors face-off against the strong Memphis Grizzlies on the road.Â
24 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors took care of business once again against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards starting to get their mojo going but still not perfect. The Raptors had OG and Miles return so the Raptors had a full 10-man rotation going and it was highly effective. The Bench Mob was fantastic tonight but Miles continues to struggle shooting the basketball. Nick Nurse managed a solid game and the Raptors allowed the Wizards to take the lead in the second half but settled down and shut the Wizards down after that. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 27 points and 10 rebounds and looked unstoppable tonight. Tune into the RaptorsRapUp for the full breakdown.Â
23 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors walk into Atlanta on a back-to-back and get the job done once again. Raptors are now 5-0 on back-to-back games this season. Kawhi Leonard sat this one out for rest purposes and Raptors were missing Miles, OG, and Norman due to injuries. Toronto won every quarter and did not look fazed after playing the other night. Kyle Lowry led the charge with a monster triple-double (21pts, 17asts, and 12 rebs). Another great game for the Raptors as they take care of one of the lower teams in the NBA. Onto the next one, keep it rolling.

23 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors escaped by the skin of their teeth against the Orlando Magic. The Raptors have a poor shooting night from the outside and barely get to the free throw line but manage to squeeze out the win. Danny Green with the game winner leaving less than a second left on the clock. Raptors dominated the first half but let the Magic hang around and come back in the third quarter. Kawhi led the team with 18 points and Lowry with 9 assists. Raptors play Atlanta on the back-to-back. Another win and got to keep it rolling. Like, share and subscribe to the RaptorsRapUp.
18 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors win huge against the depleted Chicago Bulls. The Bulls came into this game missing 5 of their top 6 players. All of them sitting out with either injuries or illnesses. The Raptors rested Kawhi Leonard for this game, but also did not have CJ Miles, Norman Powell and OG who are all injured. The game did not start so well for the Raptors but they put this game to sleep after the second and third quarter. Lowry tweaked his ankle in the third quarter and did not return to this game. Lowry did return to the bench but was grimacing in pain. A couple days until the Raptors play on Tuesday might do them some good. The next 4 games for the Raptors are against .500 teams. Key note for this game was Fred VanVleet who started and played well. Tune into the RaptorsRapUp for the full breakdown.

17 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors lose another heartbreaker in Boston and had a chance to close this game in the fourth quarter but were unable to. The Celtics were able to take over in the overtime and that's all she wrote. Couple bad loose ball fouls by both Danny Green and Pascal Siakam proved to be costly and both guys got fouled out. Siakam's foul allowed Gordon Hayward to tie up the game with 24 seconds left in the game and Kawhi Leonard missed the game-winning basket which led to overtime. Kyrie Irving put on a show in this game with a season-high 43 points along with 11 assists to lead the Celtics to the big national televised win. Jayson Tatum played Robin to Kyrie's Batman with 21 points. A number of reasons why the Raptors lost this game and the Raptors suffer another injury in this game. This time the injured player was OG Anunoby who did not return to this game after his injury. Raptors have been hit by the injury bug quite often and will be a test of strength and endurance to see how they bounce back. The Raptors will have to recuperate and get their mindset as they fly to Chicago for their back-to-back. Strong effort but not a great finish. Proud of this team, but the finishing still needs improvement.Â
15 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors lose against their former coach, Dwane Casey, and the Detroit Pistons at the buzzer. Reggie Bullock slips free of the Toronto defense and scores in the paint with 1.2 seconds left in the game to steal one after the Raptors were up 19 in this game. The Raptors lost this game due to their poor fourth quarter performance allowing the Pistons to score 29 points and only putting up 16 points in retaliation. Blake Griffin led the charge with 30 points and 12 rebounds for the Detroit team. Kawhi Leonard with 26 points and 9 rebounds on the night, but the key turnover which the Pistons were able to take advantage of. Kawhi turned the ball over by dribbling it off his foot in the last seconds of the game. Dwane Casey outcoached Nick Nurse and stole a big win for his team and his personal revenge. Bittersweet moment as a Raptors fan, but this team has a lot of room to grow and improve.Â
13 NOV 2018 · The Toronto Raptors were looking to continue their lead as they remained the only team in the NBA with one loss on their record. But the New Orleans Pelicans had other plans as they came into Scotiabank Arena and imposed their will on the game. The Pelicans pushed the pace and scored whenever they wanted to. The Raptors put up barely any resistance and the Pelicans had four players with monster numbers in the game: Moore, Holiday, Randle and Davis. Pelicans were without two starters and got the job done on the road 126-110. The Eastern Conference Player of the Week, Pascal Siakam, led the team in scoring again with 22 points as he continues his strong start to this NBA season. Lowry and Leonard struggled all game long with their offense. Nick Nurse tried to implement different lineups to spark the team but to no avail. Raptors have Dwane Casey returning on Wednesday as the Toronto Raptors host the Detroit Pistons. Good game to bounce back, but we will see if the Raptors continue to struggle.Â
18 OCT 2018 · The Toronto Raptors start their greatest potential season tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. One thing that most people might notice that this Cavs team has no LeBron James! Which has made Raptors breathe out a deep breath. Next, the Raptors will be trying out different lineups aganst the Cavs to see which lineups will work come playoff time. Toronto came out sloppy in areas and much better in other areas. Tune into the RaptorsRapUp podcast for your Post-Game RapUp.Â
