Thought it was odd that we were playing on a Thursday; hoped it was a national TV game, but I guess not :( It's not like the other two games on national TV (HOU/NYK and MIA/POR) would be that much better......

We typically have Torontos number, although probably be pretty tired after tonight.

I heard that they might drop the Knicks game on national TV since they are so terrible and put us on against Toronto.

brutal back to back, as Bonnell points out, having to fly late into Canada always tough due to customs. We need Slam and Vorbis to fly down and represent.

That's the spirit, if you're gonna reverse-jinx a team go all-in.

We're more fun to watch now. I just want to be entertained. A horrible boring team is the worst and that's what we had.

Might as well trade MKG for Bruno Caboclo while we're at it

Woah now. There are reverse jinxes and then there is just crazy talk. No way we could land Bruno for only MKG we would have to throw in a first too.

Vorbis and I had planned on going to the game together tonight but I have knee surgery scheduled for tomorrow so had to cancel.

And take back Landry fields and be forced to start him at power forward and Maxiell at center?

Fiiiiiiine, we'll throw in a Kemba for Hayes swap.

It's sad, but I agree. We are awful on the second night of back to backs

Now that is more like it. Trying to fleece Toronto like that. Shame on you.

The best part is that before the Kemba part, Raps fans would probably decline that deal :lol:

Sorry to tell you guys but if you want Bruno it's going to cost you your 1st round picks for the next decade, plus kema, Al, and filler. Still a borderline no from us since the picks will be worthless once Bruno leads you to an 82-0 season.
