A Tempo award winner before the team’s signed a player.
No doubt Ontario’s health care system is in bad shape; but the health care workers are unfailingly great, supportive, helpful. Spent 2 days recently at Trillium hospital (all’s good, maintenance work) and the staffers and doctors, top to bottom,were amazing. My thanks, as always, to all of them
Sam, on the broadcast:
"Come on, Bam. Get me off the hook"
I love Sam
He also asks
"Does anyone else notice that the Rockets can't dribble the ball?"
Rockets 86, Raptors 83 after 3; they are somehow hanging
Barnes has 20, Durant's got 27 for the Rockets
Don't look now but the Raptors are within a point with lots of time left in the third
This has certainly been an ugly few Raptors minutes here; down 58-49 at the half
RJ's got 17; Durant has 22
Raptors creating turnovers but unable to convert; oh, and they're getting waxed on the glass
Raptors doing a good job of not finding shooters on scrambled possessions; Houston up 5
Fun first quarter, 29-29 after one. Barnes has a couple of made 3s and 10 points; Durant's got 12 for the Rox
Pesky Raptors defence has forced five quick turnovers, some of them quite ghastly
Early Mogbo appearance given the absence of three centres/bigs
Raptors will start Sandro Mamukelashvili alongside Quickley, Barrett, Ingram and Barnes this evening
If you don't go to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, you're cheating yourself
Poeltl (illness) joins Murray-Boyles (thumb) and Jackson-Davis (finger) as out tonight in Houston, the Raptors just announced
A thorough Raptors victory eases a skid

Raptors lots
Mavericks lots less
31 for RJ, 16-10 from Poeltl
Good Toronto effort against an over-matched foe but that’s what they need to do
3 games in 4 nights start Tuesday in Houston
Raptors up 88-66 after 3
RJ 21, Barnes 14, Poeltl 12, Ingram and Mamu 10 each
Easy dismantling of lesser quality opponent
Hang on! They gotta play another quarter after this one?
This game feels like 8 hours old
RJ Barrett's got 21, Raptors have a 21-point lead with more than half of the third quarter to go
Certainly not a scintillating game but Raptors comfortably ahead 57-44 at half. RJ with 16; Gafford 13 for Mavs.
It's a dislocated right middle finger for Jackson-Davis
Raptors are taking care of business, have forced 9 turnovers, have only committed 1 and they have 19 points off the bench so far
Up a dozen approaching halfway in second quarter
Raptors are miserable 2-for-12 from three but somehow lead Mavs 36-29 after a quarter.
Barnes, Barrett and Dick all have 7 points
It includes a tough layup in traffic, a nice pass for an assist and three personal fouls in about ONE MINUTE
An early appearance coming for Gradey Dick
Wondered why the Raptor bench looked down a pint.
Trayce Jackson-Davis hurt a finger during the warm up and he won't be available, the team's crack PR staff came by to tell us
Raptors say Brandon Ingram was sick but is sick no longer and he'll play against Dallas shortly
Cooper Flagg got his pre-game work in and cleared to play for the Mavs
Raptors will get Trayce Jackson-Davis time with the 905 tonight; 905 also add Markelle Fultz off the G League waiver wire.
(Fultz move does NOT give the Raptors his NBA rights; if they want to add him after March 17 to fill final roster spot (and avoid tax) it'd be on a 10-day or rest of year deal)
Time to load up Ye Olde Mailbag for the weekend, send the questions along to askdoug (at) thestar dot ca and we'll get them taken care of
Timberwolves full measure of that win, without a question.
Raptors full measure of that loss, too. Second half was miserable
