The past two years of creating content have been a crazy journey, allowing me to work with The Athletic, Underdog Fantasy, and Ballislife. But I've realized my true passion lies in writing. Excited to turn the page and begin a new chapter this NBA season! readhoopsanatomy.substack.co…

The Celtics threw a familiar defensive trick at Jaylen Brown - one he actually spearheaded during the peak of his career en route to winning Finals MVP in 2024. Safe to say Jayson Tatum got the better of him this time around

At 19 years old, the fact that Cam Boozer is already a matchup nightmare is pretty nuts. Without Scottie, Kawhi, or CMB last night, the Raptors didn't have the necessary wing defenders to stop him, and he made them pay particularly with his passing

Things move fast in the NBA man. One night the ATO you draw up works seamlessly. Two days later that same play might already be scouted out. Either that, or the Grizzlies ball pressure really stifled the Raptors

With a short-handed roster, the Raptors experimented with different lineups but one pairing I doubt we'll see again is Kyle Anderson-Jakob Poeltl. Both are valuable individually, but their lack of spacing together really hurt last night

Kyle Anderson starting for the Raptors? Babe clear my schedule

RJ Barrett has been awesome this year but the Raptors have an interesting dilemma on their hands regarding their offensive philosophy. While RJ and the Raptors like having him attack screens to his right, he also had 3 TOs vs. the Bucks simply from passing with that same hand

NEW WORDS: every week on my Substack I recap the past 7 days of Raptors basketball, sharing my thoughts, notes, and biggest takeaways. Completely free to read and any subscriptions would be greatly appreciated 🫶🫶 readhoopsanatomy.substack.co…

Jamal Shead is simply a winner man. Caught a cool moment in the Raptors vs. Bucks game where he appeared to be taking mental notes on Tyler Herro from the bench, then used what he learned to seal the win

Great job by Darko Rajakovic here getting the Raptors organized offensively, which eventually led to a bucket a few minutes later in the game. Anytime you pull off a win missing 3 starters that's a testament to great coaching

Alijah Martin was so awesome and nearly perfect last night but if he keeps stacking days and gains more experience, cleaning up minor mistakes like these could go a long way toward cementing himself as a core asset for the Raptors

Came away super impressed with Bucks rookie Brayden Burries last night. The scoring will come around but he’s already looking like a high-end rebounder at the guard position. Had 3 offensive against the Raptors in the first 5 minutes and Darko wasn't having it

Raptors officially cleared “Myles Turner” talks

I believe I've seen this movie before

An NBA franchise is running Jaden Bradley Jakob Poeltl pick and rolls with a goal to win games

I'll go to the grave for Jamal Shead, but 3 turnovers in a row and 4 total from your backup PG is the type of stuff that'll send your TV remote flying across the living room. Raptors must be a team that wins the turnover margin

Big reason why the Raptors got outscored 41-15 in Q3 against the Nuggets was because their offensive composure completely fell apart. One example was this disagreement where Scottie Barnes wanted to get involved, but Quickley waved him off and ended up turning it over:

Scottie Barnes saw Nikola Jokic guarding him and decided lunch was on the house. Motioned to the bench to keep feeding him afterwards but unfortunately, the Raptors never did

Perhaps the lone bright spot of the Raptors L vs. the Nuggets was Alijah Martin having his best game of the season. Only played 9 minutes but looked sharp

Nice chair pull here by Joel Embiid to force the airball Paul Reed fell right into the trap
