You are right it is the U.S and a President just got elected and used the same tack tick ie blurting out unaccurate statements which got people attention ...
2016/17 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !!

The more I listen to PJ Tucker and see him interact with Demar .. I think we have our version of Day mom's Green
Tucker for Sullinger and the second rounders, what a steal. "D" and leadership! Get him signed!
Miami tonight without Ibaka. Important game for both teams! JV has to show up tonight!
Think I read 9 stitches in his hand.
Make it 13 stitches in his right hand.

JV has to be a Beast tonight, not an Itty Bitty Baller.
LBJ is a born leader, when his team mates don't perform he has a unique way of showing his displeasure.

Raptors are peaking at the right time, even without Lowry the team is playing really well. PJ Tucker has been a great influence for Derozen especially on defense, Demar is the most locked in defending I have ever seen. Hope to see Lowry back before the playoffs so he can work with the new guys - Ibaka and Tucker.
2 points and 8 rebounds not exactly a beast, however, he was on the wrong end of some crappy whistles.
Congrats to DeRozan back to back 40 point games, played a great game on both sides of the ball.
Overall nice come from behind effort. Wish they would come out with effort! Being down double digits then rallying is OK but I would rather watch the Raps defend a double digit lead!
Wow ...Ross looked like Ross! DC was kind to him, DC sat quietly on the bench in his civvies!
Raps all but surrender a big lead again last night before coming through for a kick ass win. Hornets next! The way they are playing and winning, there is no hurry to bring Lowery back, let him heal and bring him back if he is ready just before the season's end! Can do the same with Carroll. They will need both to be healthy come playoff time.
Celtics moved in front of the Cavs as the Cavs got murdered by the Spurs. James took an elbow to the back, will have to wait and see if he is out and if so for how long. Raps 1/2 game back of the Wizards, and could soon go by them which may match them up against the Cavs in the second round assuming both teams win their opening round.
Terrence Ross is an exciting player to watch but Norman Powell is a complete player - even with my limited knowledge that's not hard to figure out. The Raps score a brace: they get Ibaka and Powell gets more playing time. Was Stormin Norman a second round pick?

I have to admit I took pleasure in the Ball boy losing in the NCAA tournament and not making it as far as Steph Curry who the father claims is not as good as his son.
I don't think this family is as good as the father claims.
I think he is a horrible role model with quotes like "I don't need to apologize because I never regret the things I have done"
Not to mention it is a stupid thing to say because apologies don't have to be about regret.
The idea that a guy who scores 2.2 per game in college can beat MJ is just stupid. He claims with his size he would just back MJ down. Course MJ just happens to be a great defender and guarded guys of all sizes. MJ also dunked on some of the all time great big men.
Boston has replaced Cleveland as conference leader so as things stand they would go up against the Heat! Raps still 4th which currently puts them up against the Hawks but Milwaukee is hot and moving up. Not sure you want to meet the bucks in the first round. The way things look at the moment the top 4 standings are subject to change on a daily basis as are the 5-8 spots. I don't think you could plan to match up against any particular team as the teams are too evenly matched.
Raps go for 7th straight tonight against Charlotte. Hope the "A" team shows up from the git go!

I think if miami gets hot they can give boston fits. Maybe not win, but def not allow a sweep.
So it should be interesting. Bucks beat down the Hornets last night to weaken them on the back end of a a back to back for us, and they play the Celtics tonight!!
Well it almost worked out as planned. Wizards even lost. Raps just didn't do their part. And the grind continues....
Celtics beaten by the Bucks too. 44 points in the 4th by the Hornets, what happened to our "D"?
Good news, Lowery practicing and shooting with both hands, should not be too much longer before he returns!
