Wanted to elbow an old lady today... Not a good start to the New Year

A loss here might shift us down to the second seed. But I'm not worried, once dd comes back, we'll get back to the top.

I think some fans need to take a step back and see how far we've come in the year 2014. It's amazing to think this was possible after the trade. I remember on the day of the trade contemplating whether or not Vasquez was that good of a player for the trade to be worth it and a few other pieces but now I realize it was way more than that.

One game in an 82 game season isn't a big deal. As long as the team plays together and with intensity from the beginning to the end of the game I'm sure we will be a top 2 team in the East by the end of the season.

A lot has happenned in Raptorland in 2014, pretty much all positive. It is funny to look back at that trade as Vasquez being the centerpiece. It is Patterson, if we were to lose him would really hurt the team.

Well you do realize that was like what the 8th or so in the season ? The Raps recovered rather quickly from there and played a much tougher schedule from the first 16 games they played and they still lead the east. I can give props man, I'm not a hater but I just call what I see at that time. They're 11-5...once again in 16 games since the Laker game but have play a way more tougher schedule.

I know I said they weren't an elite team...but again I said it early and the fact that no other team has tried to overtake the Raps. The Bulls are only 2 games back, but if the Raps can sustain what they're doing through January they could very well start locking up the 1 seed which will serve them well in the playoffs to open every series at home.

It's what I basically said back when Raps played Lakers... some fans are over rating the Raptors, and some fans are under rating them especially based on their early schedule. Since some of us Raptor fans watched every single game, in those first 16 games (13-3) we saw those blow outs. Also some of those 3-4 pt wins may have looked close to an outsider looking at the score board, but some of those were not as close as they appeared.

Raptors do miss Demar, they blew some games that they were leading ex: vs Bulls 11-12 pt lead and last game vs Portland 13pt lead, they had a lead 90% of the game. So they could have easily been 13-3 instead of the 11-5 with the tougher schedule in their last 16 games minus Demar...which sounds scary.

use the snow one when it is snowing in Toronto

Which hasn't been much though. I would vote to have snow when playing at home vs on the road using the original version. Or use the snow when playing any teams in the east and use the original for any western conference teams lol.

Spoiler:

I think I'll just use the snow version until mid-March and then break out the original after that once spring hits. Maybe add a little drizzle to it then. Keep it seasonal lol.
