Game 43: Heat at Raptors

Congrats to Kyle Lowry are in order as it was announced last night that he will be starting in his second straight All Star Game! This one is big because it's taking place in Toronto, ON. The Miami Heat come to town tonight, let's look at the bullets...

• It's a grim situation for Miami as they only have 8 active players due to injuries. Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, Josh McRoberts and Chris Andersen will all be sitting out tonight's game.
• Miami does still have Chris Bosh and Amar'e Stoudamire, Udonis Haslem and Gerald Green, so it's not to say that this one will be a complete run away. Raptors better have their game in check, can't look past the Heat.
• Yes Kyle Lowry was announced as an All Star last night. The reserves for the game will be announced next Thursday. Expect DeMar DeRozan's name to be on that list.

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Glenn Frey - "The Heat Is On"

So glad I didn't use this song as an earlier blog post. We lost The Eagle's frontman/guitarist earlier this week. After his time in The Eagles he went on to write some of the 80's most definitive songs. "You Belong To The City" was a huge hit after it was used in Miami Vice and though he didn't write "The Heat Is On" it was featured in one of the 80's biggest movies Beverly Hills Cop. There is so much Miami in this one it hurts

Raptors 2nd in East 27-15. Heat 7th in East 23-20
