Game 6 Wizards at Raptors Purple Throwback Night!!

The Purple is back! Tonight marks the first of several games where the Raptors will honour their past and wear the retro purple-dino jerseys from 20 years ago. Perhaps the most hyped up night of this early season. And what better opponent than a conference rival and one that is destined to be force this year in the Washington Wizards?

• Tonight is also the first game in a staggering 7 game home stand for the Raptors. They are hoping to have an impressive record when it's all said and done.
• Amir and JV will likely dress and play for the Raptors tonight, which is joyous news. The Wizards have some talented bigs on their side in Marcin Gortat and one-name wonder Nene. We'll have to be at peak performance levels to compete with them.
• The Wizards added notorious Raptor killer Paul Pearce in the off-season and despite his age, he's added some serious shooting to this already loaded Washington team. Should be a good one!

Song of the night:

Googol Bordello - "Start Wearing Purple"

Started by Ukrainian born singer Eugenu Hutz, Googol Bordello got their start on the Lower-East side of Manhattan playing a unique style of music they dubbed "Gypsy Punk". So basically they play whatever they want. Most of their songs are different from one another, but the one that is very fitting with tonight's vintage jerseys? "Start Wearing Purple"

BONUS SONG!!!!

Again with the retro theme! Was Not Was' "Walk The Dinosaur"

Go Dinos!!!
