Its REALLY going to suck to make the trip down to see your boys lose .... to a team missing 2 all-stars and 2/3 key reserves ha !
And then you guys face Lebron right before you see us again. That 3gm cushion ??? Uh oh

Wonder how well North would do wo Rozen lowry vanfleet &any other key reserve . Think you could sweep a 4gm road trip out west(including blazers and jazz) after taking out OKC in Boston :nonono:

They get to the border.


Image



Anything to declare?

"We the Nerf!" they answer.

Image


Some of them get to Boston.

Image


They all react the same way.

Image

Image


Image

Image

Image


They are Canadian, so some of them don't get to Massachusetts.

Image

Image


Those that did get to Boston, they are amazed, they are in awe, the first time they have seen something they thought was not real, they see success.

Image

Image


They are Canadian, with many convictions for war crimes, and attacks on baby seals, and for rudeness to Michael Bradley.

Image





Those able to finance their stay in the USA for several days and stay out of jail and are able to view the game later return to Canada with stories of seeing greatness.

Image

Image



They then go back to watching the famous Toronto sports team.

Image

Image


Drunken violence, what Toronto sports is all about.

Image



Memories of Boston, a bright spot in their lives.

ImageImage



And you will cry when Saltics lose on Saturday.


Not at all. We are expecting to lose due to our injuries. If you lose , you should be embarrassed.

Dam. We only been unhappy 2 more times than the warriors this whole season. I think all of us would have gladly taken that with a healthy GH, never mind all the injuries we've had.
I can't bust on toronto too much, they gave me my second favorite band of all time. .. Rush. (Beatles first)
Hoping for a good competitive game with us winning and tightening the screws for a meaningful game later next week.

Is it like a password you need to say when entering a rival treehouse?

Can't wait for this game btw


Raptors broadcaster Leo Rautins has an expression where he goes "Ho Man!" when there's an exciting move by a Raptor player (DeRozan poster dunk, Ibaka block, etc...).


Is Leo Rautins the guy with the robotic voice who is so bad at his job he makes me question the veil of reality and my own existence in the universe?

I wonder if Tommy makes people feel that way. I feel like Tommy just makes other fans angry, lol.


Robotic voice sounds like Leo Rautins. He's got an arrogance to him as well because he played in the NBA and believes he's in the right. But most fans who catch the Raptor broadcast and aren't Raptor fans would say he's the most objective of the 3 broadcasters they have.

I actually think Tommy is funny nowadays because he goes on amusing rants, but I remember when he actually used to be really good at broadcasting games and there was no bias in his calls. But this is around the 80's and such.

As a courtesy we should put all of CHL posts under spoiler tags.

Don't need to scroll through a **** Instagram just to see what the poster wrote haha.

Nothing would make me prouder than to deny the raptors and Atlantic division banner.

Fellas, no soccer this weekend for my daughter. This means I can hang out around the house all day long today. I'm gonna watch some baseball, take a nap and then watch what should be a pretty huge basketball game. Pretty nice little Saturday!

Brown is expected to play. There is a chance DeMar DeRozan will not play due to his father having an illness. He reportedly traveled home to Los Angeles on Thursday and may not be back to play tonight.

I'd love to see both teams full strength, but more importantly, best wishes to to the DeRozan family.

Based on the post-practice interview, DeMar was with the team before they left for Boston. No one on Raptors injury report either. It appears he's playing.
