Game 9 Bulls at Raptors Prime Time!

Tonight marks the first time since 2004 that the Raptors have a regular season game broadcast in the US on TNT! Which means not only will the who's who of the Basketball world be at the game, the eyes of another nation will be watching. Regardless of that it's a Conference game and the Raps had better be ready for the still mighty Bulls.

• Derrick Rose (who happens to be one of my favourite non-Raptor players) is back from a variety of injuries and will step on the floor of the ACC for the first time in a few years. Rose vs Lowry should be a great battle with plenty of highlights.
• James Johnson was drafted by the Bulls back in 2009. We'll see if he can have another amazing showing against his former squad.
• Watch for Bull's rookies Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic to turn some heads tonight. Raptors bench needs to have another big showing.

Song of the night

"Bulls On Parade" - Rage Against The Machine

Should be Bulls AND Raptors On Parade!!! A big blasting song for an exciting night!! Rage Against The Machine were at the helm of the ship steering the Rap-Metal movement to new heights in the 90's. A perfect blend of political angst and hard hitting metal helped Rage become a household name. Of course this marriage wouldn't last and Rage disbanded in 2000, they were never meant to be on this world long anyway. I do miss Tom Morello making sweet sweet love to his guitar on stage during their shows though....this song features what sounds like a turntable scratching when it's actually Tom rubbing his fingers along the guitar strings while toggling between pickups all pumped through a wah-wah pedal.

SHOWTIME!!!
