Game 51: Trailblazers at Raptors! OVO Night!

I can't believe it came down to a free throw.....shake it off boys! Defend your home court as the visiting Portland Trailblazers look for a W in the East! North East! Gold & Black is back!

• Portland has been waiting for the Raptors in Toronto while they tried to take of business in Washington. A tough road loss can only lead to a fierce home victory
• The Blazers may be without big man Jusuf Nurkic and Maurice Harkless. Likely game time decisions for both
• Fred Van Vleet is back from his turn at babysitting and CJ Miles is also a game time decision due to that sore knee. Likely out.
• Big congrats to Damian Lillard for making his first All Star game. In the hyper competitive West, this is a real accomplishment

Tonight's Raptor Track!

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - "How Near How Far"

The trail in there is the connection tonight budz. These guys were part of that early 2000's garage/indie band explosion that saw the rise of The White Stripes, The Vines and The Hives. ...Trail never saw the fame heights as those bands and i'm sure they're just fine with it.
