Excerpt:

The Raptors have lost three in a row and fell to 1-5 on the season after a 93-83 home setback versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Andrea Bargnani had a game-high 23 points and DeMar DeRozan netted 19. Jose Calderon chipped in 14 points and handed out 11 assists, as the Raptors fell to 1-5 for a second time in three seasons. Toronto was 1-7 in 2010-11. Toronto's worst start through the first seven games was 0-7 in 2005-06, when it lost its first nine contests. "We looked like we fixed our first quarter problem," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "Our starters gave us excellent energy. But, our reserves came in and things started to snowball from there." Toronto played without guards Kyle Lowry (ankle) and Landry Fields (wrist). Lowry is listed as doubtful and Fields is questionable for Monday.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
