Giannis gets his revenge, while Dwane Casey stays salty

Balling in the 6ix - Season 2, Episode 4 - Giannis gets his revenge, while Dwane Casey stays salty. A quiet, 2-game week was balanced out by drama in both games.

Darko Ball Lifts Raptors in 2024

Darko. We love you. Darko. We do. Darko Ball has proven that his system works - or at least entertains. We know Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett work. And how about a shout out for Jontay Porter too? Follow us @BallingInThe6ix on Twitter (X)

Pass. Pass. Pass. But can we shoot? The Toronto Raptors look fluid. Scottie Barnes looks AMAZING. But this season is still middling, in every sense of the word. Is Darko cooking? Follow us on Twitter @BallingInThe6ix

Perennial Mediocrity - is it time for Nick Nurse to go?

A lot has happened in the last two months with the Toronto Raptors - and then again, not much has changed. Jakob Poeltl is balling, and Jeff Dowtin looks useful. Will Barton is still a work in progress. Nick Nurse could leave at the end of the season - do the Front Office trust the process or move on? Follow us on Twitter @BallingInThe6ix
