Tough overtime loss for Toronto last night. Still cannot shake the Bull bugaboo off their back. They home today to face the Houston Rockets
It has been reported that Patrick Patterson should be suiting up for the Raptors today. While he won't fix everything thats been ailing us, his energy and 3 point shooting has been sorely missed
Rockets big man Clint Capela is out of their lineup so Montrezl Harrell and Nene will be playing the centre roll for Houston
Raptors won the first meeting between these two teams, forcing Houston to turn the ball over 24 times and had 6 players in double figure scoring

Smashing Pumpkins - "Rocket"
Simple. Vintage. Classic. Fantastic
Raptors 2nd in East 24-12! Rockets 3rd in West 29-9!
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 .

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!
