Re: Game Thread: Raptors @ Hawks -- MLK Classic
Raptors organization gets totally screwed with this start time. Pretty bonehead move by the NBA to give the early game to the one team in the league that comes from a place that doesn't celebrate MLK day. Its not like there's a bunch of kids home from school tomorrow in Ontario.

I'm going off the grid at game time so I don't hear any spoilers. Gonna watch it when I get home from work tonight. Not too hard to avoid ATL Hawks scores here in Chicago. So pretty much just need to avoid this site.

yes, you should definitely be betting your hard earned money on the Atlanta Hawks. And if not sure, you should definitely come to the Hawks message board and ask them what they think. After all, this is the same Hawks message board that had about 80% of its members predicting the Hawks would contend for the #6 seed this year.
Can't see any way this backfires on you.

I don't understand how the Raptors are allowed to have 8 players on the court at the same time.
