RFF GAME PARTY REVIEW <-> Jan. 22 vs Bucks
In what started out as a disappointing first-half ended with an exciting and heroic 4th quarter led the Jarrett Jack as the Raps pulled out an ugly, yet pleasing victory.
The night started off a bit off-kilter when it was announced at game time that Bargnani was going to be sitting out the game due to some mysterious back injury. With that news and the TGIF stress release, this week’s RFF was all about having a fast and furious drink-fest, which we set in motion as soon as we arrived! As a result, I’m unable to provide many specific game details – I only recall looking up at the scoreboard every so often and seeing the Raps fall further behind every time in the first half. After halftime, the 3rd quarter was pretty much a blur! But do recall the 4th quarter being action-packed as I have clear (but faint) recollections of watching Hedo, Bosh and Jack make determined efforts to avoid what would have been a horrendous and monumental home loss. Thankfully, Hedo, Bosh and Jack ensured that that wasn’t going to be the case Friday night.
In completing this drunken haze of a review, let’s get to this week's RFF contests and prize winners:
Playing “Raps Halftime Points Pool”, free beers were won by *ALEX and *MIKE who both correctly guessed that the Raps would end the half with 48 points! It needs to be noted that the Raps came 1-point shy of winning Alex a pitcher of MGD - the Raps scored 101 points while Alex guessed that the Raps would finish the game with 102 points. (Oh so close!)
At halftime, everyone in attendance went nuts when we played the RFF Premiere Edition of “Raptors Fan Feud!” with *ZARAR and *MATT for free beers. Just like the TV game show Family Feud, when asked: ‘Who is that all-time Steals leader in Raptors franchise history?’, *ZARAR slapped-in first and had the correct answer: Doug Christie (734)! In response to our consolation question: ‘Who has the second most Steals in franchise history?’ *MATT also came up with the correct answered: MoPete (552)! (BOH!)
At the end of the 3rd quarter we played another round of "RFF Spelling Bee" in which *TILMAN correctly spelled “I.l.y.a.s.o.v.a.” and won himself a Toronto Raptors Fathead poster!
After celebrating watching the Raps victory, we continued the RFF festivities with our Rookies Edition of "Who Dat B?" and "Umm… Who He Play For?" with Matt, Gilan and Alex and who all won more free beers and Raptors 15 Years anniversary t-shirts, which they all chose to trade for one of our special RFF mystery prizes! *MATT took home a Special Edition Michael Jordan commemorative Slam magazine courtesy of @Arsenalist! Next, *GILAN won himself a fitted stylin’ Raptors Hat thanks to @Rapsfan. Finally, *ALEX with the locked-down help of *MARIE finished this week’s RFF bar games by choosing @Altraps and winning another cool Raptors Fathead poster! (WICKED!!!)
Big props to our RFF game players and prize winners! I also wanna thank everyone who showed up this week!
Because of the NBA schedule makers, RFF will be on hiatus for the next 3 weeks. (Bullshit!) As such, we’ll be returning to SCC after the All-Star break on February 19 when the Raptors play the NBA’s d-league team, the NJ Nets!!
In the meatime, please be good. But because I know most of you won't, I say, please be careful.
LET’S GO RAPS FANS! (LET'S GO RAPS!!)
