Its gonna tie in with nba and/or Facebook. It's a business announcement and not a basketball announcement

[bertarapsfan]

I'll guess that the Raptors will be playing a game or two in Africa next year

Hmm never thought of that. good guess, it would have to be preseason or over the summer though. better stock up on malaria pills

Just realized we're going through a bit of a revenge tour..

San Antonio, Orlando, Boston, Portland, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans...

All these teams had beaten us once before. So far we are 3-2. Not the greatest of records here. Hope we can extend that to 4-2.

The Houston role players kicked our asses last time out. Faried, Gordon, Rivers and Tucker all had big games. This time out they'll have Paul and Capela as well.

I thought the game plan on Harden was pretty good last time out. Danny did as good of a job as you could do on him. We also gave him different looks with OG and Norm IIRC. Either way should be a fun one.

Houston & Toronto always seem to have great games against each other.

A good job on Hardne is holding him to 40 on 50 jacks ..... he's a ball hog and a ball stopper and a volume shooter....and a stud and a stone cold killer ....

Over/under on the number of travels from Harden?

It's 2019, you can shuffle your feet all you want if you are:

1. Taking a "step back" 3
2. Taking a "gather step"
3. Bobbling the ball and running along the baseline without dribbling

I have never really cared about the lack of travel calls in the NBA, but it's getting pretty silly. I actually lol now when they call a travel on someone for shifting a pivot foot. Really? A guy can take four steps away from the basket to set up a shot, but you drag that toe 3 inches before a pass and that's a travel?

I don't even know what this is anymore:



Then there's all those times a running player will take 3-4 steps on the catch before coming to a stop. Then shift pivot feet 3 times. Then put the ball down and drive. I have no idea how they pick what to ignore and what to whistle.

The actual ones or just the ones that get called?

Its just James Harden vs James Harden. If hes on fire, they win or lose a close game. If hes off, we probably win big.

You missed three started on the Houston side...
