Game 30 Raptors at Clippers

With game number 30 about to begin, so begins the most greuling road swing by the Raptors this season. 5 games on the West coast facing back to backs and some serious competition. Can't look too far ahead as it begins today in Los Angeles against the Clippers

• The Clippers played on Christmas day against the best team in the league Golden State Warriors and won 100-86
• The Brazilian KD Bruno Caboclo will not be making any appearances in up coming games as he has been assigned to the D-League (Developmental League) to hone his game and see court time. Get 'em Bruno
• The Clippers are a tough team with many All-Star players (Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford) a champion Coach in Doc Rivers and a powerful bench. Raptors must be focused and disciplined today.
• DeMar DeRozan made the trip, but will likely not play. Look for James Johnson or Landry Fields to get the start.

Song Of The Day

"Los Angeles Is Burning" - Bad Religion

The Clippers organization was almost burned to the ground by fans and players a-like last year when it was revealed their 82 year old owner had made racist remarks. He has since been removed and a new younger owner has taken his place. "Los Angeles Is Burning" is from the 2004 Bad Religion album The Empire Strikes First. Thats what the Raptors need to do in this street fight, hit first.

Go West young men!!
