Game 50: Raptors at Wizards!

In a rare road game the Raptors take to Washington to do battle with the Wizards. Here we'll find a few All-Stars and some not so-friendly fans

• In a recent rash of All-Star players being suddenly sidelined due to injury John Wall will miss about 6-8 weeks for a banged up knee. Kevin Love and Demarcus Cousins will also have to sit out the All-Star Game due to injuries
• Fred Van Vleet did not make the trip with the Raptors as he's needed back in Toronto with a newborn daughter. CJ Miles is also questionable with knee soreness
• Norman Powell had a great game against the Timberwolves without Miles in the line-up, we're gonna energy and shooting from him to have a successful game in Washington.

Beadouin Soundclash - "Walls Fall Down"

Is this mean? I'm not trying to be, i'm not happy John Wall is injured, but it's a reality. Plus these guys are from Toronto. Good song too

Today's Game Day Drink!

The Public Pale

Our game day beer is brought to us tonight be DC Brau Brewing Company out of Washington, DC.  The Public is an American Pale Ale style beer. Assertive bitterness backed by C-60 and Vienna malts which lend notes of rich, yet semi-dry caramel. Then followed up with a nice white grapefruit and citrus aroma that begs for a follow up sip.

Raptors 2nd in East 34-15! Wizards 5th in East 28-22!

Preseason Game 7: Raptors at Wizards!

We're back on TV! The Raptors roll into unfriendly territory as they visit Washington to do preseason heat with the Wizards

• What do you think is The Wizards the best team name for the sports franchises of Washington? You have the unoriginal Nationals of the MLB. The Capitals of the NHL, which is quite vague and nondescript. And I'm not even gonna mention the racist NFL franchise team name. Wizards wins
• There is some speculation that Jared Sullinger could miss the home opener with his nagging foot injury that will keep him out of his 6th straight game
• Who did the Wizards add/subtract this year? No major names. One familiar one to Raptors fans as Ian Mahinmi who JV did battle with in the first round of the playoffs last year when he played with Indiana. Jason Smith is new from the Magic. They lost Alan Anderson to the Clippers and Nene has moved on to the Houston Rockets .

Tonight's Raptor Track!

The Magnetic Fields - "Washington, DC"

What do we got here? This refreshing little track is from an indie band from Boston, MA. They have written a little ditty to tribute Washington, but as the lyrics quickly describe, the joy the city brings the city is simply because the city is where the object of her affection calls home! Coolness!

Last preseason game bitches!!
