Game 12: Raptors at Kings!

In Sacramede!

• Raptors looking to close out their first West coast road trip tonight with a win and get the sweep! Their opponents tonight are the Sacramento Kings, who cannot be slept on. The Kings have defied expectations early on in this season and lets be honest, some weird stuff has happened the Raptors in Sacramento namely this and this
• Norman Powell left the game against Utah early with a shoulder injury. He'll likely be out a few weeks while he rehabs the sprain. Expect Kawhi Leonard to be a game time decision
• Sacramento has been slowly building assets and searching for a new superstar after trading away DeMarcus Cousins a few seasons ago. D'Aaron Fox has been stepping up, as has Buddy Heild and Nemanja Bjelica. Bogdan Bogdanovic will not play tonight due to an ankle injury

The Tragically Hip - "Wheat Kings"

With such an expansive collection of songs to pick from I could probably do a Hip song for almost every night's game. "Wheat Kings" is one of their most celebrated songs from their smash album Fully Completely.

Game 24: Raptors at Kings!

Raptors took care of business on Friday night and now it's off to Sacramento to play the Kings. Things don't always go as expected in Sacramento, will the Raptors be able to pull one off and avoid the yearly Sacramento Screw job? Let's find out

• It appears Sacramento will be missing a few key players. Willie Caulie-Stein and George Hill are both missing this one for the Kings
• Last year the Kings unloaded DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans for Buddy Heild. In the Summer they added Hill, Zach Randolph and former Raptor great Vince Carter.
• Raptors are on a 5 game win streak and with the schedule ahead, adding more Ws onto that line isn't completely unthinkable

T-Nutty - "Sac Kingz"

This song didn't just come out of the woodwork, it's been around since about 2004. Don't know why I haven't featured this one yet. Plenty of songs about other kinds of kings I guess.
