Game 13 Raptors at Cavaliers

The home stand is over and the Raptors head down to Cleveland to take on King James and his royal court. Will this be lucky 13 for the Raptors and get a win over LeBron? A feat they haven't accomplished since 2009. Let's look at a few pointers.

• Yes we haven't beaten Lebron James since 2009, but Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving is notorious for having bad games against us.
• Bruno and Bebe saw their first NBA action last night against the Raptors crushing victory over the Bucks. Hopefully that just whets their appetite and they work even harder now.
• Canadian Tristan Thompson is the lone Canuck on a Cavs team that traded away Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins this past summer. He's been having some big games, let's see how he matches up against Patterson and Amir Johnson. They'll have to play big against the big Maple Leafer.
• Still no time table for a James Johnson return, he would have helped the Raptors slow down Lebron tonight.

Song of the day

Against Me! - "Cavalier Eternel"

No that's not a typo, it's how the song is spelled on the album sleeve. Against Me! are one of my favourite bands and this album ...As The Eternal Cowboy is high above most others on my "Albums I recommend" list. It's powerful, it's to the point, it's perfect. This whimsical acoustic track is found at the very end of the album, but it's one that always get's the ear's attention. 

Bruno!!!
