New York Knicks: Out Of Town Articles
SBN: Raptors HQ (John Gaudes) —
As a smart man once said, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Coming into this season, the Raptors were planning on a transitional year. With a lot of money tied up in three players — Kyle Lowry , DeMar DeRozan and Serge Ibaka — there wasn’t a lot to fill the gaps. It’d be up to young players on the bench to fill out the productivity, and a new playing style would help that...

After all the insanity of this year’s trade deadline... a basketball game. While the trade deadline was brilliant, bizarre, and meant everything to a certain Eastern Conference team — it was relatively quiet for the Toronto Raptors . Bruno Caboclo was shipped out for salary reasons, as Malachi Richardson comes in from the Kings to round out the back end of the roster. It’s a small...

The Raps look to take care of business against a Knicks team that is, sadly, without its best player. This coming game, if Dwane Casey is to be believed , is just as important as the last game the Raptors played. That statement certainly seems improbable. The Celtics , who the Raptors matched up against on Tuesday, are the Raptors’ direct competition for the East’s 1st seed. The Knicks...

Sure we could figure out what other teams have to offer, but let’s go the other way: what is the value of each Raptor? The NBA Trade Deadline is tomorrow February 8th at 3pm, so you’ll forgive me if I sound a bit harried. While it’s true it feels like the Raptors won’t make a move this year, we’ve already tried to figure out some of the likely deals anyway. There are players to be had,...

Against Boston, the Raptors shot well, played strong defense, and once again did not need their starters in the fourth. As expected, Raptors coach Dwane Casey insisted Tuesday’s game against the Celtics was not a statement game. At best he would concede it had significance — how could it not? Boston is first in the conference, and looking to make a run to the Finals (with the ...

Malcolm Miller had himself a week for the Raptors 905 in the G League. But how are the rest of the team’s stars doing? The Raptors 905 played two games last week: one a loss against the Westchester Knicks , and the other, thankfully, a win against Erie BayHawks. Here’s how the team’s main men fared in the latest Propsect Report. Alfonzo McKinnie Age 25 Years, 4 Months This Week: (1...

The Raptors 905 split their games this week beating the Herd but then losing to the Westchester Knicks. The Raptors 905 have been one of the hottest teams in the G League as of late. After a slow start, the team is now 19-13, just 2.5 games back of the Atlantic Division leading Westchester Knicks. The 905 were at home both games this week, with two matinee games against the Wisconsin...

After a slugfest with the Spurs last night, the Raptors have a tall task on the road against Jimmy Butler and the improved Timberwolves. The Toronto Raptors have been lauded league-wide for their depth this season. Long-term roster building is incredibly difficult in the NBA, especially when you’ve been a very good-but-not-great team for a sustained period. Miss one contract and a couple...

Let’s make the case to include DeRozan in the conversation with the league’s very best. It can’t be real, right? Toronto’s favourite adopted son receiving legitimate consideration for the NBA’s most coveted individual prize? Over the last handful of seasons the chatter has bubbled up, revealing itself during the odd scoring barrage DeMar DeRozan might treat the ACC to, as he stepped to the...

The longest-tenured Raptor, DeMar DeRozan, went on the Woj Pod and opened up about his time in Toronto and his life. It’s easy to forget the time when DeMar DeRozan was merely a quiet, unassuming teen-aged rookie in Toronto, trying to find his way with the Raptors . Now, as one of the best players in the NBA, on one of the league’s best teams, DeRozan has grown into the role of both...

Having only lost three times since U.S. Thanksgiving Day, Toronto has hit their stride at the most crucial point of the season. Toronto is in the middle of a torrid winning streak — not in terms of wins in a row, but rather in a designated period of time. Since Thanksgiving, just after they lost two in a row versus the Pacers and Knicks , the team has ripped off 15 wins in 18 games. ...

The Raps have given us a lot to enjoy this season, let’s repay the favour. ‘Tis the season and all that. With Christmas knocking on our doors it’s high time we take a second and think of what to give to our Toronto Raptors to thank them for all the gifts they’ve given us to start arguably the most impressive season in Toronto hoops history. Of course, not every gift is necessarily one...

Toronto will stop in Philly to pick up the Sixers on their way home. They’ll play a game first, though. The Raptors wrap up a quick two-game road trip with a game in Philadelphia Thursday night, before flying home to host the 76ers in a rare NBA home-and-home series. After a dominant showing against the Hornets last night, Toronto heads into the Thursday night match up with Philly...

Can the Raptors keep their momentum going against the lowly Kings? For the second time this year, the Raptors will face old friend and foe Vince Carter on a Sunday afternoon at 3:30pm. If recent history is due to repeat itself, the Raptors will emerge victorious. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. This Raptors’ season has been a whirlwind of surprises, from random Lowry surges and...

The Raptors welcome an old friend and a surprisingly decent Nets team, as they return to Air Canada Centre. Four late nights of watching Raptors basketball got you feeling Friday fatigue? Well don’t worry, you can pack it in nice and early tonight, as Toronto finally makes their triumphant return home to play the Nets . The Raptors have spent a lot of time on the road to start the...
