WNBA draft lottery could change trajectory of the Toronto Tempo
A watershed moment in the short history of the Tempo has arrived and there’s nothing general manager Monica Wright Rogers can do about it. All she can do is sit and hope, much like the team’s fans, when WNBA’s draft lottery unfolds Sunday. It could land the Tempo a foundational piece, but the general manager will be at the mercy of a blind draw instead of having a say on what transpires.

Raptors Insider: Jamal Shead brings something off the court that you can’t teach Original
The Raptors have great expectations for Jamal Shead. They see the young guard as a leader and the kind of player others gravitate to and want to learn from. There were a couple of moments in Wednesday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, moments that played out away from the action and the glare of the spotlight, that showed the organization’s hopes for Shead are well founded.
The Raptors’ nightly malaise is turning winnable games into blowout losses
The beginning of the game was poetry, with the ball swinging around the court, the open shots being knocked down, the Raptors defence at its pesky and disruptive best. The rest?

The rest of Wednesday’s 98-93 loss to the Boston Celtics had to be troubling and far more telling about where the Raptors are and where they hope to go. Toronto scored 38 points and made 10 three-pointers in the first quarter.

Raptors vs. Celtics: Toronto blows 22-point second half lead against East-leading Celtics
The Raptors couldn’t stand prosperity. After one of the hottest shooting starts they’ve ever had staked them to a seemingly comfortable lead at the Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night, they took it upon themselves to create a nail-biter down the stretch. And couldn’t close the deal. Letting a 22-point second half lead disappear, the Raptors dropped a tough 98-93 decision to the Boston Celtics that was one of toughest defeats they’ve suffered this season.

Short-handed Raptors are about to run the Eastern gauntlet: ‘We just have to keep grinding’
These are trying times for the Raptors with key pieces out of the lineup, a difficult stretch of the scheduling beginning and losses coming too frequently for their liking. But somehow they see opportunity out of the gloom, good times to come because of the difficulties they are experiencing. Perhaps it’s Pollyannish and maybe it’s misplaced optimism but it is the nature of athletes and teams to try to find good in tough circumstances.
Raptors 905’s new coach and GM are eager to make their mark after years of learning the ropes Original
Noah Lewis and Scott Brown have prepared for years the opportunities given them, learning through first-hand experience and at the hands of more experienced leaders. And now as they embark on the next steps of their basketball careers, it’s time to branch out on their own. Lewis, the first-year head coach of the G League’s Raptors 905, and Brown, who has become the franchise’s general manager for the first time, bring unique skills to the jobs as the team begins the home portion of the season.

Raptors vs. Grizzlies: Undermanned Toronto shows some fight, and some Battle, but comes up short Original
The Raptors were not rewarded in a game where they played hard and never quit and kept coming back every time they looked dead and gone. They will get no solace from a moral win because moral wins don’t count for anything and a 118-102 defeat at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night goes down in the ledger as just another loss. But maybe at some point they’ll look back on the evening and know they have resolve, and maybe that resolve will win some game for them.

Opinion | Raptors mailbag: Darko Rajakovic loves his small-ball lineup. Why not let the big boys play?
All in all, 2-2 on the road trip wasn’t horrible, the Raptors seem to be treading water without Kawhi Leonard at 3-3, and the next 10-game stretch is going to be a slog. Can’t wait to see the day-to-day takes over that fortnight or so. Have fun with this, though. Any thoughts on the comments by Doc Rivers re: Giannis Antetokounmpo: “He’s not easy because he plays at this crazy downhill pace.

Raptors Insider: Why Toronto isn’t upset Kawhi Leonard is away from team while rehabbing Original
With so much invested in Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors are going to whatever lengths are necessary to make sure he’s healthy and surrounded by people who make him comfortable. It’s why he has been away from the team since his left knee started swelling almost two weeks ago in Minnesota, seeking treatment from people who know him well and have dealt with him successfully and who he trusts implicitly.
Raptors’ disastrous third quarter against Nuggets exposes an all-too-familiar problem
DENVER—It was as gruesome a quarter of basketball that the Raptors have played this season, a turnover-filled 12 minutes here Wednesday night that wasted whatever good had come before it. And it is a habit that has to be changed if this team fancies itself among the better squads in the NBA’s Eastern Conference.

The Raptors’ Ja’Kobe Walter is showing off his growth as he replaces Kawhi Leonard
DENVER—Young legs and an old head. He has become Toronto’s best on-the-ball defender and one of the best three-point shooters on the team in the five games Leonard has been out, before Wednesday, more than capably filling in for an all-star veteran. The 22-year-old Walter is certainly not Leonard in overall skill or experience but he gives the Raptors a different look with his quickness and speed, and there’s been no fall-off in Toronto’s defence with Leonard out.

Ugly but effective: Raptors split L.A. back-to-back and learn a lesson that could matter later
DENVER—The games weren’t pretty and the Raptors looked average, much less than that in some instances, during a couple of nights in Los Angeles. But this being the time of the NBA season for self-evaluation and discovery, for teams learning if they possess the fortitude to carry them through bad stretches, a split of a Lakers-Clippers back-to-back games lands on the good end of the spectrum.

Raptors superstar Kawhi Leonard begins return-to-play protocol but remains at least a week away
The veteran forward, who has missed five games due to swelling in his left knee, is still at least a week away, the team announced Tuesday. “He will now begin the return-to-play process in Toronto, and his progress will be updated in one week,” the team said Leonard played about 51 minutes in Toronto’s first two games, going 12-for-37 from the field, including 4-for-14 from three-point range, while shooting 11 free throws in his first game and none in his second.
Lawsuits, suspensions, derision: The L.A. Clippers’ never-ending half-century of chaos
LOS ANGELES—You wonder how much one fan base can take. From one disgraced owner banned from the NBA forever to one banned for just a season. From epic on-court collapses, ruining what should have been the golden era for the franchise, to blown draft picks and bad trades, questionable contracts given and good players allowed to leave.

Sleepy Raptors escape on a fourth-quarter miracle against Clippers. It’s a dangerous way to live
LOS ANGELES—The Raptors want to establish a style and set a high standard to reach every time they take the court. It’s quite something to watch: disruptive defence, a ball-moving offence, a lightning-strike transition game, fun and fast and exciting, a laudable goal and an important one for a team chasing legitimate championship hopes.

Raptors vs. Lakers: What Toronto may have discovered in experimental loss in L.A.
LOS ANGELES—It has been a season of fits and starts so far for the Raptors with key players in and out of the lineup, some playing great one night and much less so others. It has all added up to a time for experimentation for a coaching staff figuring out the jigsaw puzzle and to make any declaration about where things are and where they are going at this point makes no sense.

Opinion | Scottie Barnes and Raptors ‘raging’ after NBA Cup game — and not just because they lost: ‘It’s kind of B.S.’
Scottie Barnes tried his best to bite his tongue and not lash out. It was a valiant effort. He chuckled a bit, smiled a bit, looked ruefully at times.

LA city and county fend off a court battle over homeless services
Staving off a battle over control of homeless services, Los Angeles County has agreed in principle to let the city of Los Angeles control who gets placed in city shelters and housing. The agreement, approved by the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday after City Council approval Friday, settled a long-standing complaint from the city that it is cut out of information about homeless people within its borders and is forced to accept residents from outside the city into housing it has created.
