Zaya and Bryce give tributes to Fred VanVleet after he scores a franchise record 54 points in a comfortable win over the Orlando Magic.

Zaya and Bryce breathe a sigh of relief as the Raptor's remember how to play against a familiar foe. The Raptors get a fairly easy victory over the Magic through solid bench play, another strong Pascal performance and Aron Baynes "Gasoling" "Vooch". Oh yeah and their was another episode of the beef between Kyle and Arron Gordon.

Zaya and Bryce are irate with the level of play and result as the Raptors fall to 7 and 12 on the season and waste a great performance by Pascal and a career effort from Yuta.

Zaya and Bryce discuss another single digit loss this time to the Bucks. The Raptors heaved up 55 threes and Kyle Lowry summited 10,000 total points for the franchise.

Zaya and Bryce dig a little deeper to talk about the most important or most interesting bench players for the Raptor's.

Zaya and Bryce come together to chat about the Raptor's first winning streak of the season, including KLow's clutch shot, Norm's big night and Stanley Johnson's defense.

Zaya and Bryce look into some their personal fandom moments of disappointment. They look at these through the categories of humour, heartbreak and hell fire. A therapeutic exercise during a difficult start of the current season.

Zaya and Bryce return to Morning Devotions with a sense of deja vu after another last minute lead is ripped out of their hands and all the pressure of a win is put on the shoulders of Pascal Siakim to win in the final seconds.

Zaya joins Bryce for the reaction pod on a sunny morning both in the skies and within Raptorland after a emphatic 2nd half in Sacramento.

Late night games mean morning reactions, Bryce talks about the Raptor's 2nd unit, their strength of schedule and being grateful for a great performance from Pascal.

A real disappointment at "home" against our rivals the Celtics. Pascal, OG and Baynes struggled and Nick Nurse had his worst game of the season.

Zaya and Bryce put a mini microscope on the Raptors, Pascal and Raptor's journalists with an early evaluation. Zaya and Bryce believe that despite grey days in the first week, sunny skies lie ahead.
