RupertKBD Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I keep seeing articles and quotes that suggest the Raps aren't done trading.... They might flip Brown like MK said, but I'm wondering about Trent Jr.....he had a big game against the Heat....strike while the iron is hot?

shiznak Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I find it amusing that Chris Boucher is the last remaining player on the Championship squad. A player who was the 11th/12th man in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Anyone watch the All-Star weekend? The only thing I found at all interesting was the Steph vs Sabrina 3 point competition. The game itself was a farce. MLB remains the only all-star game worth watching..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningback33 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Sources: NBA eyes Raptors' Jontay Porter for betting issues https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39808900/nba-eyes-raptors-jontay-porter-betting-issues Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter is under investigation by the NBA following multiple instances of betting irregularities over the past several months, multiple sources told ESPN on Monday. At issue are prop bets involving Porter from games on Jan. 26 and March 20, multiple sources told ESPN. The NBA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In the game on Jan. 26 against the LA Clippers, there was increased betting interest on the under for Porter props, which for the night were set at around 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists. There was also an over/under for Porter's made 3-pointers, which was 0.5. That night, Porter played just four minutes before leaving the game because of what the Raptors said was a re-aggravation of an eye injury he'd suffered four days earlier in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He did not score against the Clippers, had three rebounds and one assist, and did not attempt a 3, meaning the under hit on all of the props. The next day, as part of a daily report to users on betting results, DraftKings Sportsbook reported that the under on Porter's 3-pointers was the biggest money winner for bettors of any NBA player props from games that evening. Porter played 19 minutes two days later and scored 12 points with seven rebounds and three assists. On March 20, in a game against the Phoenix Suns, Porter played just three minutes before leaving the game because of what the Raptors said was an illness and did not return. He did not score, attempted and missed one shot, and had two rebounds. Sportsbooks had his over/unders set at around 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. The next day, DraftKings SportsBooks reported to its users that Porter's prop bets were the No. 1 moneymaker from the night in the NBA. Porter, the brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., is on a two-way contract with the Raptors earning $415,000 this season. He missed the Raptors' game Saturday against the Washington Wizards for personal reasons, according to the team. He is listed as out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets for personal reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 ^Another article; https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/other/raptors-reeling-after-backup-centre-jontay-porter-allegedly-fixed-games/ar-BB1kzOYz?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=403a0ce3ba364dd2bcb5a8aa5c0cadac&ei=51 TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors were still largely in the dark a day after it was confirmed that the NBA was investigating backup centre Jontay Porter for allegedly fixing games. "I was just praying for him," said small forward Bruce Brown on Tuesday after Raptors practice. "Obviously, you don't want to see somebody go through something like that. "But other than that, I mean, I don't know what's going on. I don't want to comment too much, but I don't know." Centre Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops, B.C., said that he and his teammates learned about the investigation surrounding Porter the same way fans learned: through media reports. "We don’t really know anything is going on, so it's hard to comment on that," said Olynyk. "You (reporters) probably know more than us, which is how these things usually work." ESPN first reported the investigation on Monday night about an hour before tipoff in Toronto between the Raptors and Brooklyn Nets. The American sports broadcaster said the probe included Porter's performance in games on Jan. 26 and March 20. Porter played briefly in both games before leaving, citing injury or illness. He played four minutes 24 seconds against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first of those games, then played 2:43 against Sacramento in the second game. ------------------------ mal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the replay, it definitely looked like a moving screen, but that's a tough call to make with under 10 seconds left..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
