Doug Smith Undergoing a Heart Procedure

[Doc]

Albeit I'm not a huge fan of his work, he's still a highly regarded contributor to our beloved Raptors. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Thanks for posting that. I think he has lost a lot of fans since the Star went under a paywall (not his fault) but he was reporting with passion on this team before many others were. Wish him the best.

Well he's part of the Raptors family too!

Hope everything goes well.

Used to read his stuff a lot.. and find him mildly entertaining. Hope things go well. He's watched and reported on a lot of bad basketball. Would be a shame to see him not be able to get a chance to see some success for once.

Raptors need to win a championship for him before anything happens to him. Like planetmars just said, the dudes been reporting on so much bad basketball for years.

Good luck to Doug, and warm wishes.

Get well soon....and have a lube while you are at it.

Enuff with those corny jokes already!

I used to read a lot of Smith years ago, when the coverage by any other of the papers was pretty poor. At one time he was one of the top two, no more than top three reporters covering the Raps. He has seen a lot of basketball and understands the game quite well.

Best of luck Doug. Speedy recovery.

Before I became a Raptor Republican, I relied on Doug Smith's stuff. Wish him a speedy and successful procedure.

I've always appreciated Doug's lighthearted approach to reporting about this team. He's insightful, and plugged in to the very best in sports reporting. Looking forward to his columns for many years to come. Speedy recovery Doug.
