New York Knicks: Out Of Town Articles
SBN: Raptors HQ (ConorMcCreery) —
The Raptors GM did something very uncharacteristic in firing his coach. He acted rashly, and that might just leave the formerly untouchable GM at risk. Masai Ujiri has proven himself to be a patient man. He resisted the calls to lop off Dwane Casey ’s head after the ghastly series sweep at the hands of the Washington Wizards in 2015 and was rewarded by the best three years in franchise...

Continuing the timeline of Bruno Caboclo, for whom he was traded for, Malachi Richardson may still be two years away from being a rotation player. Malachi Richardson came to the Toronto Raptors via a trade deadline move by team president Masai Ujiri. It will likely forever be known as the Bruno Caboclo trade though. The move was also essential bit of accounting to keep the them barely...

Pizza? Popeyes? What food promotions does the rest of the league offer? Let’s find out! Welp. That was heartbreaking . Not only did the Raptors lose Game 2, but we didn’t get pizza. And although we could have eaten our sorrows with three free Popeye’s chicken tenders, the promotion apparently isn’t available during the playoffs. This year, the Raptors have earned fans free pizza from...

The Raptors 905 prospects came up short of the goal, but each had their moments. Here’s a look at where each stands now after the postseason. In one sense, there was an abrupt end to the Raptors 905 season. They lost 2-0 in the G League Final and — poof — that was it. But in another sense, the 905 put together an amazingly long run, one that was perhaps unexpected given roster turnover. ...

This is the final edition of this year’s Power Rankings Poll. Did the Raptors go out on top? Are they being ranked fairly? Let’s decide. If there is but one thing we can definitively take away from the end of an NBA regular season it is this: hoo boy, are they ever long. We’ve only spent about seven months with this one, and yet it feels like we’ve been at it for years. Now, with just two...

With 58 wins and two games left: Will the Raptors hit the magic number? The Road to 60 concludes. In the 71-year history of the NBA, 76 teams have achieved 60 wins or more in a single season. Can the Raptors join the club? Possibly. Does it matter? Not really. When I wrote my first Raptors HQ article on January 13, predicting the Raps to finish with the best record in the East , it was a...

It got tense there, but with a win over the Celtics last night in Toronto, the Raptors appear set to claim their first number one seed in franchise history. We just had to see how Toronto’s back-to-back against the Cavaliers and Celtics would turn out before one final edition of the Standings Watch. By this time next week we’ll know for certain the identity of the Raptors ’ first round...

With the comeback win, the 905 are just one win away from their second straight appearance in the G League Finals. Although the Raptors 905 finished with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, they were the 4th seed entering the playoffs, since the top three seeds were division winners. At the top, was the Westchester Knicks , who got a bye through Round One but had to meet the...

It was a nail-biter but with the win, the 905 are off to Westchester for the second round of the playoffs. The Raptors 905 finished the season with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference but still finished fourth in playoff seeding due to the Westchester Knicks winning the 905’s division. With that, the Knicks got the bye and the 905 had to play a one-game playoff at home...

The 905 finished the season with a win, but stayed locked into second place in the conference. Before looking ahead to the playoffs, we review the past week. The NBA G League’s regular season ended this week, with the 905 playing one more game on their west coast trip, before finishing the regular season off at home. The team finished the year 31-19, in second place in the Eastern...

After a humbling loss on Sunday, the Raptors look to get back in the win column as the Denver Nuggets visit Toronto for their first and only time this season. The Raptors will look to close their three-game home-stand tonight with a win against the youthful, offensive-minded Denver Nuggets squad that is fighting for their collective playoff lives. With both teams boasting top-10...

The Raptors hit New York this past week, and they brought the whole city with them. This past week I had the opportunity to follow the Raptors on the road and watch them obliterate both the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets . While the scores were not surprising, the number of Raptors fans traveling far and wide, was. When I left Toronto for New York on Friday, I was a little bit...
SBN: Raptors HQ (John Gaudes) —
The Raptors beat the Western Conference’s best, reached the 50-win mark, and continued a win streak. A good week indeed. I’m officially running out of superlatives. Writing about a group of young NBA players was supposed to be an exercise in the ups and downs of an early career. Instead, we’ve got the really surprising, really enigmatic, really good Raptors bench mob. For what feels like...

With two 3s to his name as an NBA player for the Raptors, Toronto is reportedly looking to keep Hayes around for now. As reported last night by the big man Adrian Wojnarowski, for whom no deal is too small, the Raptors are apparently set to sign swingman Nigel Hayes to a second 10-day contract. The official report, such as it is, is right here: Toronto is signing Nigel Hayes to a...

Sure, all the Raps have pretty much exceeded expectations, but who’s been the exceed-iest? It’s been a very good year to be a Toronto Raptors fan. It’s been so good that the nagging sense of doubt that losing a random Thursday night game on the road in, say, Indiana means the Raps will slog through the playoffs yet again, barely feels ever-present anymore. It’s safe to say that...
