“Fred giving a shoutout to Rockford with his busted tooth—I mean, that was half-hockey, half-basketball, all Rockford."
All NBA players have some level of impact. But few have had the effect VanVleet has had on Rockford. My final feature, for @Raptors: nba.com/raptors/joshua-howe/…

I respect that Fox has been gutting things out for a while with that high ankle sprain, but he’s just been so poor. Hasn’t been able to provide the team with that veteran star presence, particularly in clutch situations, that they desperately need as a young group.

Happy for OG, man. Dude didn’t get to play in the Raptors’ 2019 playoff run at all, and here he is hooping in The Finals seven years later.

The thing with the Thunder is that, while SGA may be the one with all the answers to the test, there’s a boatload of other dudes who are going to score impressively high marks.

Castle, at 21 years old and in his first conference finals against a powerhouse OKC team, having to figure out how to be a primary initiator in real time without Fox (and now Harper) to lean on is an exceedingly difficult ask.

This post-season, there are only seven players averaging/who averaged 30 minutes, a 60 TS%, and a 25 USG%:
• SGA
• Brunson
• Wemby
• Tatum
• Durant
• Scottie Barnes
• Castle
Wemby and Castle are 22 and 21, respectively. The next youngest player? Barnes at 24.

That game had me looking up stats on NBA dot com. Haven't done that in, like, two years.
Brother.

Dylan Harper. With Fox out, he played 46 minutes and turned the ball over once.
Once. Against the league’s top defense. In his first Conference Finals.
Forget being impressive for a rookie—that’s a high, high level of poise for any player.

Regardless of how this series ends, it’s been enlightening. The Raptors have a number of pieces genuinely worth investing in long-term, and at the same time, their current flaws have been made stark.

Please note: The book is currently available in two formats: Paperback and ebook. Hardcover copies are coming soon, but required a separate print run, and therefore will be limited in number and purchasable only through me.

People like complaining about basketball more than they like basketball itself.

I have a million Oscars noms thoughts, but I will only share one: If you have not seen ‘Sorry, Baby,’ please do yourself a favour. It’s one of the best movies of the year and the final scene will sit with me forever.

"This is an old tale. One of magic and shadows and fate. And the man who faced them all."

Welp. Time to return my attention to the Raptors, a team that will certainly never cause me pain
