Scottie Barnes & Brandon Ingram are the first Raptors duo to be named All-Stars since Kyle Lowry & Pascal Siakam in 2020. It's the 7th time two players will represent the Raptors at All-Star.

just a devastating win for the utah jazz. it's unclear where they go from here. lost franchise.

No Markannen, no Jackson Jr, no Nurkic in the fourth for the Jazz, who were up 3 after 3 quarters. Utah outscored the Heat 30-29 in the third.

Between the info below and the fact he ran in off the bench to escalate, this is why league is gonna hammer Stewart the worst of anyone in the fight.

Coming into tonight, Isaiah Stewart has 47 career technical fouls, 12 career flagrant fouls & 8 total games missed to suspension.

Raptors will (most likely) be facing a Pistons team without Duren or Stewart on Wednesday

the concept of a monday night pistons vs. hornets game unironically being appointment viewing

FOR MORE REASONS THAN BASKETBALL APPARENTLY

if someone has Moussa Diabate reacting like this, I will blindly pick Moussa's side

We’re onto our 4th rewatch of the halftime show, apparently the game could have been an email

Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga

3 early AM deadlines today which means Benito is the only reason I'm still awake run the clock till halftime pls

Raptors with their 21st double-digit win of the season, 2nd-most in the NBA behind OKC.

I abandoned my trade spreadsheet this season because of the amount of writing & watching I have to do this week. I have many regrets

Bulls have made 7 trades this season, 8 in-season deals over the last 2 seasons. They went 3 straight seasons without an in-season trade.

My Emanuel Miller note was that he & Leonard Miller were the first pair of Canadian brothers to play in the NBA, at least this note survived!

Ayo Dosunmu came to Toronto on the Bulls plane last night, left on the Wolves plane (most likely).

Trying to prep for Bulls/Raptors while the Raptors are on the 2nd night of a B2B, in the middle of a stretch where I'm prepping for 12 games in 5 days. Someone tell the Bulls to stop making moves for the sake of my sanity

Raptors are now 1-12 against teams currently ranked top-10 in the NBA.

Timberwolves have won in Toronto for the first time since January 21, 2004. A 20-game streak is over.

The Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors have agreed on a multi-team trade sending Chris Paul to the Raptors and Ochai Agbaji, a 2032 Raptors second-rounder and cash to the Nets, sources tell ESPN.

TWO Canadians have been named to the All-Star team for the first time in NBA history!

Kon Knueppel was 10-years-old the last time the Hornets went on a 6-game win streak.

Fun fact: LaMelo Ball's teammates came into today shooting 44% from three off a pass from him this season, 36% from three otherwise.

Harrison Barnes is only 4 years older than me & the NBA has me calling him "Unc" in my notes

Raptors started the season with a 23-3 record when leading by 10+ points. They're 3-3 when they have a 10+ point lead since then.

Watching Bucks/Wizards & I'm 5 minutes away from looking up the worst combined FG% in a game in NBA history

I asked Rajakovic if he thinks his team’s small-ball success is sustainable or if he’d like to see them add size at the deadline. “It’s a front office decision… There’s one guy that I really, really like and want to join the team. His name is Jakob Poeltl. That guy can definitely help us”

The Charlotte Hornets have led by 30 or more in 3 of their last 5 games & in 5 of their last 12....

Immanuel Quickley was questionable coming into this game. He finished with 23 points, shot 6-for-10 from three & had a team-high 11 rebounds. 3 threes & 4 rebounds in the fourth.

Scottie Barnes leads the NBA with 23 blocks in the fourth quarter. His 8 blocks in the clutch are also the most.

OKC has lost consecutive games at home for the first time since November 3, 2023.

If I leave the house this week, it's because I'm flying somewhere hot.

Scottie Barnes with 23/8/7 with 4 steals & 1 block. It's his 7th game with 5+ stocks this season, tied for most in the NBA.
