Good morning Raptors fans! Great write up about Darko penned by Josh Lewenberg
Coaching a rebuilding team is one of the toughest and most thankless jobs in pro sports. Darko Rajakovic aced that part. Now, he gets to prove that he’s the right guy to see the process through, that he can really coach. So far so good. www.tsn.ca/nba/article/...

Raptors coach has a winning formula with a team that knows how it needs to play on both ends of the floor, Josh Lewenberg writes.

10000000% agree.
Not a unique take, but: Sports gambling has broken our brains. It's the least interesting lens through which to analyze sports, putting so much focus on the "what will happen/is happening" over "why will it happen/is it happening." It makes our conversations worse and less curious.

I told people months ago that the Raptors might be top 4 in the East. Especially with Boston and Indy dealing with injuries. People looked at me like I had 3 heads.

It’s still early…but looking good so far.
Fun fact: the Raptors are one of five teams to rank top-10 in offence & defence rating this season, joining the Thunder, Nuggets, Spurs & Rockets.

8th in offensive rating, 10th in defensive rating.

That Raptors win shouldn’t have been that hard, but they all count. The Raptors are now 9-5 on the season.

Also Scottie closing it with a block over Sexton?!

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Really loved THE CHRISTMAS MARKET. Kanika Ambrose has such an impressive way of writing about Canadian immigration – she highlights the inequities baked into this country's systems without weighing down her stories or characters.

My Critic's Pick review:

www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/stag...
The Christmas Market is a feel-bad holiday story – and one of the best new plays of 2025
Kanika Ambrose’s story of three temporary foreign workers in Ontario is timely, sharp and emotionally charged

I was very critical of Schneider in the past and this year. But not picking a team with a 20 win improvement that wins the AL is actually insane.

John Schneider was robbed.
belated awards thoughts:

1) Vlad Guerrero Jr. was the best defensive 1B on the Blue Jays in my eyes, with all due respect to Ty France

2) John Schneider had a great season as Jays manager (20-win improvement, got buy-in from his players) & would have been a better choice than Vogt this year

LOL! I don’t think I’be ever seen “expected” to be fired in an article before. Like when? After Thanksgiving?

Also what was DAL top brass expecting? Your trade one of the top 5 talents and luck into a top 5 prospect. Did you think Flagg was gonna be elite overnight? What took so long to fire Nico?
BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are expected to fire Nico Harrison, sources tell The Athletic.

Love a tough “Find a way” type of win 🙌🏾❤️
That’s a great ‘find a way’ win for the Raptors. Only led for 1:35 through 3 Qs, then held Hawks to 5-24 FG & outscored them 36-20 in the 4th. Overcame off nights from their big 3, Hawks D & rebounding issues. Offensive process improved in 2nd half & late-game D was exceptional.

I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?

Very excited for everyone to see The Christmas Market at Crows theatre, currently in previews.

A story about Caribbean migrant workers experiencing their first winter on a Canadian farm. Lots of drama, lots of laughs, lots of vibez!

I am beyond floored that Shane Bieber has exercised his option and stayed with #Bluejays. Not because I didn't think he liked it here, he absolutely did. But because he's only going to earn $12 million (US) in 2026 when he could have had 10 times that or more on the open market. Wow.
