Welcome back to another edition of Trash-talk Toronto Raptors! Here we will discuss everything that happened with the Toronto Raptors except… basketball

Good news galore for the Toronto Raptors this week, Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell returned from injury and it looks as if Marc Gasol is preparing for his return as well. That only leaves Fred VanVleet sidelined, who hopefully will be returning soon.

The injury bug has ravaged the Toronto Raptors in the middle of the season, but the Raptors have been able to sustain quality play despite the unfortunate circumstances. As it stands, the Toronto Raptors are on pace for a 50-plus win season again and the talking heads have already begun the Nick Nurse for Coach of the Year bandwagon.

Of course, this isn’t a place for on the court basketball talk. We are looking to dissect humor, chicanery, and hullabaloo that has taken place among the team. That said, if there is anything that you, the reader, sees and wants to shout out for this column, then please tag @HughesWithMe or @RaptorsRapture on Twitter for the future!

This week, we are going to discuss Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry’s goofy team scrums, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s disbelief in dinosaurs, and the Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Durant Twitter-spat that had people reeling.

Of course, if you want to read all on-court basketball talk then please read some of my colleagues’ work. They have put together grades, opinions, and summaries, which puts all things in perspective.

Without further ado, onto this week’s edition of Trash-talk!
