Playoffs Round 4: Game 6: Raptors at Warriors!

Shimmy Loose

• The Series goes back to Oakland as the Raptors fell short of closing out the Warriors on Monday. It's back to business and Toronto will need to stop Klay Thompson and Steph Curry for a shot at the Championship
• Kevin Durant went down in the first quarter of Game 5 with a ruptured achillies and is expected to miss the entire 2019-2020 season. Kevon Looney also left the game but is probable for tonight
• All it will take is one win for Toronto to make it to the promised land. OG Anunoby is available, but has yet to get the call from rookie coach Nick Nurse. Likely due to him worrying about Anunoby's conditioning
• Win or lose this is the last NBA game to ever be played in the Oracle Arena, as the Warriors are getting a new stadium for next season

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Ecstasy Of Gold

The Raptors are going for the Gold, they sometimes wear White & Gold and they are in Golden State. Also this track is just so damn epic, needs to be played loud!

Tonight's Game Day Drink!

Delerium Tremens

This Belgian Strong Pale Ale is world famous and was named The Best Beer in The World for 2008. It comes in hard at 8.5% and it's logo is a pink elephant, as it has been known to cause hallucinations. Whether the Raptors lose and you want to numb your pain, or they win and you want to lose your mind. Delerium is a good choice for you

Raptors lead series 3-2!

Game 23: Warriors at Raptors!

All Eyes On Us

• There are many games that were circled on the calendar when the Raptors' schedule was released earlier this year. This is perhaps the first one of those circled games as the reigning Champion Golden State Warriors come to town
• The Warriors went out and got All Star big man DeMarcus Cousins over the Summer, sadly he's been sidelined with an achilles injury so far this season. Interestingly enough as well Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are both out for this game. Some may see that as an advantage, but first of all this is the Warriors and they have many diverse weapons to defeat with you with and second of all a win over a fully healthy Warriors team would be much sweeter than over an injured squad.
• Alfonzo McKinnie was waived earlier this year by the Toronto Raptors after a promising rookie campaign and he found himself with Golden State. Though he is out tonight with a foot injury

Tonight's Raptors Track!

Lou Reed - "Warrior King (Revenge)"

I know, i'm sure many of you think I should pick a more upbeat, pumping track but as Kyle Lowry said earlier today this is just another regular season game. Maybe if these 2 teams meet in the playoffs down the line, I'll play a more suitable song.

Tonight's Game Day Drink!

Purple Helmeted Warrior

I won't comment on this drink's name, but it seems like with all it's ingredients it will get you some drunk. Blue Caracao, Southern Comfort, White Rum, Peach Schnapps and whole bunch of fruit flavours!

Raptors 1st in the East 18-4! Warriors 2nd in the West 15-7!

Game 4: Raptors at Warriors!

It's deep into enemy territory tonight as The Raptors are in Oakland to face the defending champion Golden State Warriors. It's game 2 of a 6 game road trip and things aren't getting any easier

• Still no Jonas Valanciunas for the Raps tonight as he is nursing a sore ankle. Lucas Nogueira took a spill Monday night and will miss the game as well. DeMar DeRozan, the ever durable, will play even though he suffered a leg injury against the Spurs
• Warriors have a fully healthy squad except for someone named Damian Jones. They added Nick Young and Omri Casspi over the off season...as if they needed more help
• The Raptors can't afford to shoot the way they did on Monday, barely making over 25% of their three point shots. Lowry, Miles and even Ibaka are going to need to be on their A game to combat the take and make style of Warriors like Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and oh yeah, Steph Curry

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Gold Lion"

The NHL now has the Golden Knights (woo), so their is a little bit more precious stone about in the North American world of professional sports, but the Golden State Warriors have brought home the golden hardware that really counts. Maybe a Gold Lion statute would be cool to hand out to the champs...

Tonight's Game Day Drink!

Golden State Of Mind

Though maybe I should of done coffee or something with caffeine in it because these West Coast games are so late...i'm bring you Golden State of Mind from Ale Industries in Oakland, California.

It has a translucent golden yellow color with two fingers of fizzy white head and quite a bit of carbonation. Sounds perfect from draining trays all day

Raptors 5th in the East 2-1! Warriors 8th in the West 2-2!
