Game 52 Spurs at Raptors

The San Antonio Spurs are kicking off their annual "Rodeo Roadtrip" tonight as they face the Toronto Raptors. It's the first time the Raptors have seen the 2014 Champions this season. Let's take a look at how they stack up

• San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich will be going for his 1000th Career victory tonight, here's hoping the Raptors aren't the team on the losing end of that milestone.
• The Raptors come in to today's game with a 7-2 record at home against teams from the West losing only to New Orleans and Dallas
• James Johnson had a huge return game Friday night against the Clippers. With the Spurs ate full strength and 3 living legends on their current roster, the rest of the Raptors are going to follow Johnson's example.

Song of the day

"Down Rodeo" - Rage Against The Machine

I know the name of this song is a reference to a street in LA, but on paper (or screen) it definitely fits for San Antonio's Rodeo Road Trip. Plus it's a bad ass song. I always said Rage Against The Machine were not meant to be long for this world. Such mercurial energy and raw talent was slated to explode before they ever got a chance to fade away. 3 great albums. A legacy of memorable live performances. Rage Against The Machine definitely holds a high place in this 90's kid's heart.

The Champs are here!!
