Game 63 Raptors at Thunder

The Raptors are headin' out West for a few games returning home as the final push for the Playoffs is in full effect. Though the Oklahoma City Thunder got off to a rocky start this season, they've had something of a return to form as of late.

• Thunder Superstar Kevin Durant is still sidelined with a broken foot and even though Russell Westbrook is wearing a protective mask due to injury he is putting up MVP calibre numbers in recent games.
• The Thunder were active at the trade deadline this year shipping Reggie Jackson off to Detroit for ex-Raptor DJ Augustin and bringing in Jazz big man Enes Kanter as well as Steve Novak (also an ex-Raptor)
• Terrence Ross was re-inserted into the starting lineup for the Raptors on Friday against Charlotte. I wouldn't be surprised if James Johnson got the start tonight due to some problematic match-ups

Johnny Thunders - "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory"

Thunders was one of the founding members of The New York Dolls, a band that was widely considered ahead of the curve in terms of Punk and Glam Rock music of the late 60's and early 70's. He would also go on to form The Heartbreakers (not the Tom Petty group) with former Television bassist Richard Hell. His sound was unique and unlike anything anyone heard at the time. Roaring guitars, yet precise, almost like a voice. He died in 1991 under suspicious circumstances, originally believed to be a mere drug overdose, yet there are those who knew him felt he got mixed up with the wrong crowd.

Let's get itttt!!!

I found this picture of Steven Adams and Jonas Valanciunas amusing.
