Game #13: Toronto Raptors 132 - Charlotte Hornets 96

[GOLDBLUM]

Well, we made it through the road trip of death.


We lost Kyle.
We lost Serge.
We nearly lost OG.

But we never lost our freedom.



We came out with our heads above water at a respectable 3-2.



Seven of our next nine games are at home, with the two away being spread out a week apart at the less-than-intimidating Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic. This stretch will be a great opportunity for our heroes to catch their breath and hopefully regain their health. It'd be nice if we can get a full squad back sooner than later.

TODAY!! --- GAMEDAY!!!

Tonight, we face the mediocre Charlotte Hornets, who, while under .500 at 6-7, are in fact in seventh place in the conference. Ah, life in the east!

So, we face Kemba tonigh--- wait



Oh, that's right. Nobody wants to play for you guys.



I mean it's hardly a wonder given how you treat your fans...



Ok... I feel really bad posting that, but I couldn't look away. Hope you're ok, lady. Truly. Yikes.

Hopefully our gents can look alive tonight and be ready for whatever comes their way. Hornets are young and have plenty of chuzpah.

And now for the stars of today's offering:

GO RAPS --- LET'S GET THIS DUB.

Amazing work. Go raptors!

Goldblum never disappoints. What an excellent thread 😂

Goldblum don't need no load management. Write every thread like it's your last

King of the Gifs! Charlotte is actually a pretty good watch this year with all the young guys. Coming off back to back buzzer beater game winners. Expect it to be a semi close game but raps win by 6 in the end.

Hell yeah I’m pumped now!

A Monday night yawner vs. the lowly Horncats, suddenly becomes....




Best part of these threads is figuring out the opposition starting lineup. It's better than crossword puzzles or Sudoku.

[Hotshot]

Btw Stanley is out due to stress fracture which at this point don't really affect the Raptors.

[Jclaw]

That's a metaphorical line up I'd be proud of. Even had to google the Trump one but that probably had more to do with me not knowing there was a player on Charlotte named Washington. As mentioned above, the Hornets (had to google that too) have won their last two on buzzer beaters but counterpoint..Jeremy Lamb is no longer on the team. Which force will win out? Hopefully us. Go Raps.

They haven't got a lot of love but they are playing better then most people expected. The hornets game I've caught have been surprisingly decent basketball, they did the right thing moving on from kemba and just commiting to developing young guys instead of fighting for the 8th seed every year.
