The Toronto Raptors have been playing with a “we’re just happy to be here” mentality as of late. A lack of focus down the stretch of games. A lack of grit. Can’t shoot. Can’t rebound. Fans expect more because they’ve seen more.

I just want to get through the trade deadline without Domantas Sabonis becoming a Raptor.

The road to 61-21 continues ... Updated Toronto Raptors record: Raptors' record in 2024-25: 30-52 Toronto now has as many victories as it did all of last season. 31 games to go.

It's cool to note, as well, that of the top-eight players in minutes played on the 2019 championship Toronto Raptors, six can now be recognized as NBA All-Stars. Kyle Lowry Kawhi Leonard Marc Gasol Pascal Siakam Fred VanVleet Norman Powell What a roster that was.

I'm so incredibly happy for Norman Powell. 2026 NBA All-Star. Well deserved. He should have been one last year, but better late than never.

NBA All-Stars.

Blake Murphy in a suit on the Raptors broadcast. Hasn't looked that gold since his NXT Tag Team Championship run.

WWE should have introduced Royce Keys with a package or something. That crowd had zero clue who Powerhouse Hobbs was. A shame. He’s so damn good.

AJ Styles not leaving his gloves in the ring is as clear-cut a sign that today wasn’t his last match. TNA. AEW. The 2026 retirement tour continues.

That “AJ Styles is All Elite” graphic will hit like crack. No way is that his last match. Go wrestle your friends.

Bianca Belair with the most serious finger injury in wrestling history.

Is it just me, or does the Royal Rumble venue look incredibly empty??

I truly believe today is AJ Styles' last match ... with WWE. Call me crazy, but whether it's one final stint in TNA, or maybe even a year with AEW to check off some boxes, if Styles loses to Gunther, we haven't seen the last of him in a ring.

Opposing centers in the last four Toronto Raptors losses: Ivica Zubac: 16 points, 14 rebounds Deandre Ayton: 25 points, 10-of-10 shooting, 13 rebounds Karl-Anthony Towns: 8 points, 22 rebounds Wendell Carter Jr.: 23 points, 7 rebounds Toronto needs to get bigger.

Dammit.

I don't take for granted how fun it is to have a really good Canadian basketball player on the Toronto Raptors. That's part of the reason why I don't want to see RJ Barrett moved at the trade deadline.

When Darko Rajakovic gets mad, you better watch the fuck out.

The Scottie Barnes for 2026 NBA Defensive Player of the Year bandwagon is filling up quickly.

Anthony Davis is supremely talented. If healthy, he would look great in a Toronto Raptors uniform. But he never is. A trade doesn't turn back the clock to 2019. Episode: youtube.com/watch?v=wf0I... Subscribe: youtube.com/@NorthOfTheArc

Realistically, the Toronto Raptors could use someone like Anthony Davis. Will he be moved at the trade deadline, though? Probably not. Episode: youtube.com/watch?v=wf0I... Subscribe: youtube.com/@NorthOfTheArc

It’s those types of performances which make me hesitant to say the Toronto Raptors are in that top tier in the East, despite what the records may suggest. They’ve been unable to figure out the Knicks, and they don’t have the size as constructed to deal with them.

Tommaso Ciampa is All Elite. Love it.

Brandon Ingram has passed Rudy Gay for 66th on the Toronto Raptors' all-time scoring list.

Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O'Neal of NBA on ESPN have both Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes as All-Star reserves this season. Kenny Smith has Paolo Banchero and Bam Adebayo over Scottie Barnes. Cute.

Noor is such a wrestling fan, so she lit up when I asked her which Toronto Raptors player, past or present, would make the best WWE superstar. Episode: youtube.com/watch?v=wf0I... Subscribe: youtube.com/@NorthOfTheArc

If the Milwaukee Bucks are going to have a fire sale and move assets, while highly unlikely, and because I'm greedy, a package involving Myles Turner for Jakob Poeltl wouldn't upset me.

We're filming Episode 2 later today. Be sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel for all of the latest content.

I'm going to try to post more on here again. Not that it never wasn't, but the other place is becoming a cesspool for bots and horrifying comments once again. I need the peace and tranquillity that this platform provides. That's still the case, yes?

See you at AEW All Out tomorrow in Toronto.

Listening to the Tragically Hip makes everything better.

I’m alive.

I really like Desmond Bane. But two rotation players, four unprotected first-round picks and a first-round pick swap is absolutely ridiculous. The market is flawed. But if you're the Grizzlies, you make that trade 1000 percent of the time.

No Kings is also what Kevin Durant says to his agent when discussing potential trade partners.

My work associate.

Pascal Siakam is two victories away from winning the NBA championship for a second time.

Basketball fans will watch the All-Star Game if it’s just the Indiana Pacers making comebacks.

AEW just debuted Thekla. Megan Bayne is a force. Willow Nightingale just re-signed. Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Mone is the biggest match they can do for All In. Losing Mariah May hurts. But it’s not the end of the world. Wish her well. Move on.

Mariah May is bigger than NXT, but Jacy Jane is the champion and Jordynne Grace and Stephane Vaquer are bound for the main roster. She’ll slot in there but won’t be there very long.
