Game 20: Wizards at Raptors!

Drizzy Nizzy In This Brizzy

• Raptors are back home after going 3-1 on a 4 game road trip that saw them end up in Atlanta and secure a win. That same game former Raptor Vince Carter became the 22nd player in league history to score 25,000 career points. Congrats VC!
• Washington rolls into town and things aren't so hunky dory in America's Capitol. It's been announced that the team is exploring trades on all players including starts John Wall and Bradley Beal, and tensions behind the scenes between players, coaches and the GM are reaching a tipping point. That being said their last game, against the Clippers saw them come back from a 24 point defecit and get the W
• CJ Miles returns for the Raptors tonight, with OG Anunoby marked as questionable. For the Wiz, Dwight Howard sits with a severe back injury.
• And it's the first OVO/Drake night in the Scotia Bank Place! Raptors will be donning their brand new White and Gold City jerseys. Should be a fun night!

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Metric - "White Gold"

Great song from a great Canadian group. With a name like Metric they must be Canadian. Metric hail from Toronto, Ontario and this track is from their 2007 album Grow Up and Blow Away. Classy.

Tonight's Game Day Drink!

Goldschlager

You had to know this one was coming. I'm not a fan because of it's cinammon-y taste, but is their anything more baller than sipping on a drink with gold flakes in it?

Raptors 1st in the East 15-4! Wizards 10th in the East 6-11!

Game 79: Pacers at Raptors!

Raptors only need one win or one Boston loss to clinch first seed in the Eastern Conference! And it just so happens to be another Drake night in the 6ix! What better game to clinch against than in a match against our old playoff rivals the Indiana Pacers!

• Raptors had a huge win against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night which showcased the bench mob in full force! Delon Wright, Lucas Nogueira and of course Fred Van Vleet showed the world what the young Raptors are capable of
• The Pacers have clinched a playoff spot as well as they currently sit in the 5th spot. Victor Oladipo, Myles Turner and former Raptor Cory Joseph have Pacers fans very excited for the post season
• Both teams appear to be at full strength. As long as there are no last minute scratches it's do or die for the Raptors tonight....well not really, but lets get this first seed business out of the way so we can rest some guys for the last few games!

Drake - "God's Plan"

I always try to include one Drake song for the night's they don his OVO colours. It's only fair. He's one of the world's biggest rap stars and he chooses to sit court side for the Toronto Raptors. It's pretty cool!

Tonight's Game Day Drink!

Indiana Whiskey

Distilled in South Bend, IN. The Indiana Whiskey Co. specializes in small batch whiskeys. Getting Hoosiers all sorts of drunk.

Raptors 1st in East 56-22! Pacers 5th in the East 47-32!

Game 47: Jazz at Raptors! OVO Night!!

This one has been circled on the calendar all year! It's the unveiling of the Raptors' City Jerseys, which were inspired by Drake and OVO. The ACC floor will transformed to match the black and gold jerseys as the Utah Jazz make their only stop here in The North.

• All Star line ups have been announced and both DeMar and Kyle were picked by team Curry and will likely play against their Coach Dwane Casey as he'll be coaching team LeBron, if the Raptors can stay the course that is
• Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell has been selected to represent Team USA in the Rising Stars challenge during All Star weekend. Well deserved, Mitchell is high on the Rookie of the Year radar and will likely have a long and successful career
• The Jazz will be without a few key players tonight. Namely Dante Exum, Thabo Sefolosha and Rodney Hood

Rotary Connection - "I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun"

Rotary Connection were a Funk/Psychadelic Soul group coming out of Chicago in the late 60's. They were also the backing band on Muddy Waters' album Electric Mud. The song "I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun" has been sampled and remixed several times.

Tonight's Game Day Drink!

Goldschlager

Even though this one of the grossest shits, Goldschlager is straight ballin' to drink tonight. It's got chips of gold in it and it will get you some drunk. We The North!

Raptors 2nd in East 32-14! Jazz 10th in West 20-28!

Game 11: Warriors at Raptors! (Drake Night)

Valiant effort last night by the boys in Red, but they came up a bit short to the 2016 Champs Cleveland Cavaliers. It doesn't get any easier i'm afraid as the Raptors return home to face the Golden State Warriors.

• This is the first true look the Raptors will get at the Warriors since signing Kevin Durant in the off season. The Warriors aren't off to as hot a start this year though and currently sit at 8&2.
• Hopefully DeMarre Carroll will get some time tonight to guard KD as he sat last night due to rest on one game of a back to back
• It's Drake night at the ACC so the Raptors will be wearing their very sleek OVO inspired black and gold jerseys. KD is close to Drake so it must be by design that Drake picked his one visit to Toronto to host the game...show him what this city is all about before another look at free agency

Drake - "Back To Back"

It's just too perfect,,,,

Raptors third in East 7-3! Warriors second in West 8-2!
