@RapsReport The value of shooting. Ja’Kobe has an opportunity to be a huge part of this team going forward. He just needs to prove he can be consistent

Notice how when you have a guy who can shoot the ball making the post entry feed, the help doesn’t immediately collapse on Scottie.

@BlueJays Give Vladdy some love too!

What a play by Kazuma 👏 岡本和真のファインプレー！👏

@kirkgoldsberry @Ballislife This is exactly the type of solution we need. Convoluted, difficult for even diehard NBA fans to understand, and an extra source of advertising revenue for the league. Everything anyone can ask for

My simple solution to tanking. Phase 1: Award preliminary ping pong balls using a weighted inverse performance index adjusted for strength of schedule, injury-corrected win probability, and a 12-variable regression model updated nightly by a committee of actuaries sponsored by Emirates. Phase 2: Preliminary ping pong balls are distributed by an independent custodial agent following a 60-day comment period in which all 30 franchises may submit objections in writing then all 14 non-playoff teams are evaluated by a Warren Commission-type panel that assigns each a parameter in a simple ridge regression model. the coefficients are public. It's all powered by AWS.

@ZachLowe_NBA Personally, I absolutely think of the Nuggets as a contender. They have the best player in the world, they have not been healthy all season, and they pushed OKC to the brink last year. Nuggets are for real

Scal and I debate the state of the Nuggets -->

@ringer @BillSimmons There is no doubt that there is significant risk mortgaging your future for Giannis. At the same time… it is Giannis!!!

“There’s too much evidence that this is dangerous to do.” @BillSimmons lists the historical trends that should concern teams wanting to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

@raptorsrepublic RJ Barrett’s scoring is an underrated aspect of Toronto’s offence. He compliments everybody on the roster with his ability to suck in the defence with his physicality

@JustEsBaraheni What is most impressive is how easy he makes it look. That is one of the toughest shots in basketball. He is shooting against all of his momentum, but it looks effortless

Think he’s one of those players that will become even more wildly appreciated once he retires.

@RaptorsMuseOk @statmuse @Raptors Let’s take it to the Pelicans this time

Game Day vs Pelicans!!! ⏰ 8:30 PM ET. 🏟️ SCOTIABANK ARENA 🏥 Quickley Out, Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy are Questionable. Who will win? #WeTheNorth

@RealGM I am rooting for Bronny

@BSDtakes @ringer @jmi1323 Doncic is at best 3, but 4 feels right. Wemby has a bigger impact on winning. That being said, Luka is amazing.

@ringer @jmi1323 Doncic at 4 😂 we can’t be serious man that’s just a you don’t know ball rankings

After three years of sitting at the top, Jokic has been dethroned, and there’s a new no. 1 on our Top 100 NBA players ranking! Full rankings: nbarankings.theringer.com

@ringer Shai is amazing. Jokic is the best player in the world.

@ringer @HowardBeck I think expanding could work, but it is not as simple as some fans think. The entire league will change, especially if two big market teams are added. It is already hard for teams like Charlotte, Memphis, or Sacramento. Now they may have two more big markets to compete against.

The NBA has 20 billion reasons to expand, but “not everyone is on board.” @HowardBeck on the skeptics around the league: theringer.com/2026/03/26/nba…

@raptorsrepublic No doubt. The team needs his point-of-attack defense and shooting. If he continues his recent play, then he will be hugely impactful in the playoffs.

Can Ja’Kobe Walter be Raptors playoff X-Factor? raptorsrepublic.com/2026/03/26/can…

@KeithSmithNBA I have thought that Denver is the second most dangerous team in the NBA all season (behind OKC). I still believe that. Sorry, San Antonio

You have to do something crazy to kind of overshadow Jamal Murray's 53-point night, but Nikola Jokic might have done it. 23/21/19 is a ridiculous triple-double. Shoutout to Peyton Watson too. Really efficient 21 points. Denver is gearing up to make a run.

@raptorsrepublic @samfolkk @PlayToonieBet I am not as sold on this take, but I will admit that it is worth a try. The team needs shooting. The problem: who would we take minutes away from?

If given the minutes, could Battle average double-digit points? @samfolkk says he has what it takes do to so. @PlayToonieBet

@lucarosano3 I have been hearing that take a lot, but I disagree. Toronto needs real playoff experience. They are losing all their games against good teams this year. They need experience in those games to grow

Updated East standings: Raptors are now 6th with 10 games left. 76ers, Heat, Hornets and Magic are all on their tail.

@CmbAlert I would list Scottie as a Power Forward

Scottie Barnes is a pg?

@Hoopss Doncic + Wemby

This is hard.
