Don't care if we win or lose, I just pray we stop the overly aggressive defense BS on this west coast road trip.

Giving Portland/Jazz/Warriors open corner 3's sounds like a bad time.

Guess the Raptors don't have the pull like the Leafs do to get those west-coast games to start at 5PM local....
'Cos it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
