Game 54: Clippers at Raptors!

Superb Owl Sun Daze!

• After a disappointing loss on Thursday against the Bucks, the Raptors look to bounce back for an early Sunday afternoon game against the Los Angeles Clippers
• The Clippers are said to be looking to do anything it takes to acquire Kawhi Leonard this Summer when he becomes a free agent. I'm not going to speculate on that but it looks to be a very eventful off-season this 2019.
• JV is still a few games away from returning to the team, though he has been participating in full practices. Clippers will be without Danillo Galinari and Luc Mbah A Moute.
• Congrats to Kyle Lowry for being named to the Eastern Conference All Star Reserves! his 5th straight All Star selection. The Clippers' Tobias Harris has been named to the West Reserves, well deserved there as well

50 Cent - "Fully Loaded Clip"

Not your typical Sunday afternoon tune, but the Raptors need to GET UP for this game. Too many slow and lazy starts. Get the advantage early and don't look back. Win at any cost

Game 29: Raptors at Clippers!

LaLa Land!

• Raptors embark on a 4 game West coast trip that sees them playing the Warriors, Blazers and Nuggets, but not before a stop in Los Angeles to match up against the Clippers.
• After the Clippers lost Chris Paul to Houston and Blake Griffin to Detroit, DeAndre Jordan signed with Dallas in the off season. The Blake Griffin trade saw Tobias Harris and Boban Marjonovic (former Spur and teammate of Kawhi and Danny). Harris has been playing exceptionally well for LA and Lou Williams (former Raptor) is having another 6th man of the year calibre season too
• Kawhi Leonard is listed as questionable tonight with a bruised hip. Conspiracy theorists will suggest that he is being kept from playing at Staples Centre as not to get too keen on playing there, thus potentially signing in LA in the offseason. It's likely a precautionary thing as this is the first game of a back to back and he hasn't played in both nights of one yet

X - "Los Angeles"

One of the most legendary and influential punk bands to come out of LA in the 1970's and 80's. They were also featured heavily in the first part of the documentary called The Decline Of The Western Civilization which highlights the LA punk and rock scene of the early 80s

Original Clippers

Apparently you need to be a brave soul with a strong constitution to stomach this 15% Malt Beer. Think Colt 45 with a hint of nailpolish

Raptors 1st in East 21-7! Clippers 4th in the West 17-9!

Game 55: Pistons at Raptors!

After a slight break the Raptors are back in action at home today against the Detroit Pistons!

• A much needed rest for the Raptors after having the toughest schedule of the first part of the season. Losing a tough one to Minnesota on Thursday night, let's hope the Raptors are refocus and regenerated from here on out
• The Pistons appear to be at full strength which means Toronto will have to deal with the likes of Reggie Jackson, Andre Drummond, Marcus Morris and Tobias Harris
• Jared Sullinger is down with the 905 on assignment with Bruno and Delon Wright. Patrick Patterson will be a game time decision with an agrivated knee injury.

Pist.On - "Grey Flap"

Not entirely sure what I stumbled upon here, but thats part of the reason I do this blog. Introduce Raptor fans to new music, and I sometimes get introduced to it as well. Pist.On are a hard rock band from Brooklyn. Their debut album Number One, was produced by Josh Silver of Type O Negative. It came about back in the 90's. Kind of a cool track!

Raptors 4th in East 32-22! Pistons 8th in East 25-29!
