Drake working the media angle hard so they'll let him in the Heat locker room this year.

So now Bill Simmons is pulling for the "T-Dot" when Drake is in studio. What a clown. Didn't he pick the Wiz to finish 3rd?

Weak segment, while they're raving on the Nets like a legitimate contender. They didn't even bother, just picked an old podcast and put that out.

Lamest video of an otherwise entertaining set so far. Every other topic thus far has gotten like 7 min, Raps get 3. I know, enough bitching about US media coverage. We've got to earn it.

If you watch the next segment "Sleepers" you will see that BS considers Toronto his sleeper in the East (and says their biggest advantages are Kyle Lowry and the Fans)

I'd pick the Heat over the Raptors, but that doesn't mean I'm pulling for the Heat.

Yeah but we were 4-5 games over .500 and Washington was below .500 and he was still picking them to get 3rd. Now all of a sudden he is pulling for us.

Dat inferiority complex...
Drake was on ESPN for like 15 minutes and spent a good 10 minutes discussing the raptors with Bill, Jalen and Avery Johnson. It could be worse... We could be the Bobcats

Who cares who he picked? Maybe he does want Toronto to win. Maybe he doesn't. It matters...0%.

Please Toronto fans, stop this whining. Makes us look so pathetic.

You're right, it could be worse, we could be the Knicks. I watched the video on ESPN as well and it was more or less the same (VC this, 81 point game that) I just would like to see them actually talk about the team as it is currently constructed and evaluate how they think they would fare match-up wise against a Brooklyn or Washington.

Your last point is a pretty good one. Every time someone mentions the raptors doing well, it becomes brand new information and they always seem blindsided... And that's where they leave the conversation, simply because they don't know what to expect

Simmons picked us as the sleeper in the East b/c of Lowry and our crowds

Being a napper is better than a sleeper, means we wake up more easily, more chances to win the chip. I'll take it.
