  • Game #43 Hawks (12-27) @ Raptors (30-12) Tuesday January 8th 2019. TSN 230 am(Vilnius, Lithuania) 900pm(St Johns) 830pm(Halifax) 730pm(Toronto) 630pm(Winnipeg) 530pm(Calgary) 430pm(Vancouver)



    Starting Lineups
    HAWKS
    PG- Trae "Meth Curry" Young
    SG- Kevin "Red Rocket Jr" Huerter
    SF- DeAndre Bembry
    PF- John "Philadelphia" Collins
    C- Dewayne Dedmon

    RAPS
    PG- Kyle "The Bulldog" Lowry
    SG- Danny Green "Ranger"
    SF- "The Klaw" Kawhi Leonard
    PF- "Spicy P" Pascal Siakam
    C- Serge "From the Motherland, Mafuzzy, Mafuzzy Chef, Avec Classe, 100% Pure" Ibaka

    Atlanta comes to the North riding high off a 24 point beat down of the Miami Heat. Right in the thick of the tankathon race of the east, a visit from the Hawks lacks the robust storylines we've seen in recent days. Last time these teams met, Toronto walked away with an 18 point victory as Vince Carter threw down a buzzer-beating dunk for his 25,000 career point in the NBA. The return of Vince will likely take the head billing in this one.

    The Raptors are rolling right now pulling off back to back gritty victories against potential playoff match-ups over the weekend. A Tuesday night showdown against the 12th place team in the East may not be as exciting as the past 2, but the Raptors need to come out with the same energy to avoid the dreaded trap game. The potential return of both KL's should be enough for any fan to look forward to this one. The biggest threat to a Raptors victory is not taking the Hawks seriously. If they play with the same hunger as of late we should be seeing Boucher and Co. in the 4th quarter.

                    There would be something weird about watching a Raptors game at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Week day ... Lol

                        The Alberta 5 or 5:30 starts are awesome though, I'm tellin ya! You get home from work and the games just starting, over by 8 pm and you can do something else with the wife/kids/yourself

                          Maybe Berta (like JV) hails from Vilnius? The team does have players from eg. African time zones which don't get a mention? Reveal yerself Berta!
