Game #49 - Raptors at Kings. Jan 25, 2023 @ 10:00pm EST

[Primer]

15 days until the deadline.

The first of a brutal 7 game Western conference road trip.

The first trade domino just fell with Rui Hachimura to the Lakers for three 2nd round picks and Kendrick Nunn.

Just about every team in the NBA is rumored to be very interested in several of our players.

We play several of those teams on this road trip.

Beginning with the Sacramento Kings, who miraculously do not suck anymore.

Can I keep the win streak going?

Stay up until 1am in the morning on a Wednesday and find out.

Thanks Primer. Hard to say it but ughh go kings!

[G__Deane]

Better Kings than lakers or Clippers ....

I watched DeAaron Fox interview on TNT before the game between Bos vs. Mia

The guy is quiet articulate, family man who just got married and expecting a baby next month.

He credited the success of his team this season to his passing big Sabonis, high praise for the unselfishness of his team.

Game Day!

Game Day!

Late games suk though
Snowstorm coming in here to the GTA but looks better than all the brown and wet weather we've had.

Go Raps!

Damn. 7pm start time? it's too late for me.

It’ll be interesting to see if Precious gets the start if everyone is healthy. I doubt it, unfortunately.

They could sub out Gary (and probably Scottie) real early and bring them back with the funky bench unit. As long as the starters don't get them in too big of a hole.

10pm if you're in Eastern time!

Wesr coast road trip is brutal for watching games.

Pacific time. But I wake up 4am everyday. Workout/lift weights 6 in the morning. I can't stay past 8, I need my 8 hours of sleep.

I prefer the 4:30pm start.

We need some Raptor Republicans to stay up real late and fill up this live thread. I like reading them in the morning for games I had to miss.

The funniest threads are when the Raptors get behind big, early, but somehow make a miraculous comeback to for the surprise win late in the game.

That happened a lot more when Lowry was around. We still make the comebacks this year, but we don’t actually win anymore.
