Raptors getting huge boost from Precious Achiuwa's improvements

Precious Achiuwa has been opening eyes since his breakout Rising Stars performance and Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse is loving what he's seeing.

"Whatever's gotten into him since the all-star break, he's certainly been more decisive out there," Nurse said on Saturday. "He's catching and shooting fairly quickly, which means he's feeling confident, and I'm good with it."

Unsurprisingly, Achiuwa’s actual numbers since the all-star break support the eye test we’re all witnessing.

DijahSB Drops “Green Line,” an Ode to Your Long TTC Commute

Who among us hasn’t daydreamed about making enough money to never take a train again, over the scenic views of Old Mill station? What commuter hasn’t barred through a tunnel delay on a crowded cart?

“Green Line,” a new track by GTA rapper DijahSB featuring Terrell Morris, is the product of a signature sound we’ve come to know lately. Lo-fi harmonious synths and off-kilter percussions surround Dijah’s foray into a singing hook: “On the green line riding 45 minutes just to get home, there’s not m

Siakam and VanVleet are the perfect pair to usher in Raptors' new era

Following an impressive win against the Milwaukee Bucks down two starters in Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes on Saturday night, Pascal Siakam shared his thoughts on his markedly improved passing during a stretch where he's welcomed the burden of lead ball-handling duties.

“I just think that getting used to having multiple people guarding you, it's an adjustment.” Siakam said. “I’m getting better at it, just reading the defense and making those passes. I’ve been a willing passer, it’s a part o

A Look Into Pascal Siakam’s Love for Toronto’s BIPOC Designers

After an entire season played outside of Canada, specifically Tampa Bay, the city of parking lots as far as the eye can see and low-ceiling practice ballrooms, the Toronto Raptors seemed to have been as excited to return to the comforts of home as much as their fans were to have them back. A team absent from their assigned city may not seem like much of a big deal to the casual observer, but for a place like Toronto, where Raptors gear is uniform, and the town’s tallest tower regularly glows red

Gary Trent Jr.'s two-way growth raises Raptors' ceiling

Gary Trent Jr. represents many interesting aspects of this current Toronto Raptors team: its youth, its potential, and its growing pains.

Brought into the fold via the Norman Powell trade, Trent Jr. was seen as a younger and more affordable replacement to the veteran shooting guard, but his two-way leap has been a welcome development that raises the ceiling for this current team.

Trent Jr.’s strengths were simple enough. The third-year player was understood to be a run-of-the-mill shooting thr

Should the Raptors roll with Dalano Banton or Malachi Flynn as backup PG?

The Toronto Raptors have a good problem: they have two young, up-and-coming prospects at the point guard position who look poised to be steady, reliable contributors off their bench next season. Should they move one of them to help fill gaps on the roster? Or is it better to keep both? Amit Mann and Yasmin Duale discussed their options on the 'Raptors Over Everything' podcast.
