- Expect the hype levels to be through the roof with Toronto's very own Andrew Wiggins making his hometown NBA debut tonight. Wiggins was drafted #1 overall in the 2014 NBA draft by the Cavaliers and traded to Minnesota along with fellow Canadian Anthony Bennett.
- Minnesota coach Flip Saunders is expected to miss tonight's game for personal reasons leaving assisstant coach Sam Mitchell to head the team. Mitchell is an ex-head coach of the Raptors and Raptors' head coach Dwane Casey is ex-coach of the Timberwolves! KG who is back on the Wolves squad once played under Casey as well. With all the Canadians on Minnesota who else thinks the two teams should just switch jerseys for one night?
- Terrence Ross, who left monday's game after taking an elbow to the back, is available for the Raptors tonight. Not sure if his minutes will be monitored or not.
Song Of The Day
Big Wreck - "Wolves"
With all the Canadian content with tonight's game it would be wrong to not pick a Canadian group. Big Wreck's front man, Ian Thornley was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario and though the rest of the group came out of Boston, Big Wreck have always embraced their Canadian roots. After an 11 year hiatus Big Wreck released a new album in 2012 Albatross and reminded everyone just how much ass they used to kick. No sign of another break is in sight as their latest album Ghosts was released just this passed year.
All eyes on Maple Jordan!!
