Game 1 Hawks at Raptors Opening Night!

The day has finally come!! After a long off-season and 8 meaningless preseason games the Toronto Raptors' 2014-2015 season officially begins tonight with the Atlanta Hawks coming to town!
Will Drake be in attendance? Will the ACC be packed with screaming Raptors fans like the last time we saw it in the Playoffs? Will any former Raptors be courtside? We'll have to wait an see!!

A few things to look for


  • Lou Williams squaring off against his former team. Him and Kyle Korver will likely be trading 3-point attempts all night
  • Al Horford, Atlanta's dominant big man, is back. Valanciunas and Amir Johnson will have their hands full trying to contain him. If Horford goes off, it will be a long night for the Raptors.
  • Kyle Lowry and Jeff Teague will go head to head as starting point guards. Both men were overlooked in last year's All-Star Game. Will those chips on the shoulders be in full view tonight!
Ladyhawke is a singer/songwriter based out of New Zealand who took her stage name from the 1985 movie Ladyhawke. After playing a few bands, she broke out on her own and released a killer of a self titled debut album. Though clearly influenced by indie rock and synth-pop most of the songs on the CD have muscle behind them and refuse to be ignored in the background of record shops and smokey bars. "Magic" is the song that I first heard by her, so i'll include here as the first official Raptor Track if the 2014-15 NBA season. And if the Atlanta Hawks don't call their cheerleaders the Lady-Hawks, they've missed a big opportunity.


Let's hope for some magic tonight! Go Raptors!!!!
