Man, I love the Raptors, might be my favorite sports team. Being a habs fan I've become completely disinterested in what MB/management is doing. Some think the habs could be a team on the rise, good prospect pool, but the management group has made it really difficult to continue following them, I don't think we are a team on the rise, I don't see much of anything we have that other teams don't have matched or more of. No clear plan to rebuild, no plan to even sell this year and no players to cheer for or make me excited.

The Raptors on the other hand, full of excitement, management that is up there with the best in the business. Someone not a afraid to take risks and go for a title. I suspect some moves are in the making to attempt to defend the title.

What options do you see out there and do you think we are an acquisition or two away from being the team to beat, if not favorites, well in the mix? This team is one of the best managed teams in all of sports in my opinion. I don't know that we have the assets anymore to change too much, but I'm giddy with excitement to see what's next.

31-14 after tonight's win in New York. Remarkable considering all of the injuries to key players throughout the season.

Nurse deserves a ton of credit for the way the team has competed. If we stay healthy, we can be a number 2 seed in the East.

Nurse might win coach of the year.

As a sens fan I hear you.

Well it's safe to say that Masai won't be trading any of our core players that are on expiring contracts. That being said, we have very little maneuverability under the cap add a significant piece without giving up an important rotation player. I think we will stand pat going into the playoffs.

So, Lebron.

Kobe Bryant Dead, Dies in Helicopter Crash

Wow, RIP if true. Really sad.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Wow

 

[stickty111]

Oh boy thats horrible to hear. Prayers go out to his family.

 

[hoc123]

Woj confirms

 

[Eyedea]

That’s absolutely tragic. The sport lost a great mind.

 

[1specter]

f***ing terrible, gone way too soon

 

[MyBudJT]

Shocking. Thoughts and prayers for the Kobe Bryant family. Way too soon.

 

[leafsfan5]

This doesn’t feel real

 

[stickty111]

His daughters were on board as well

 

[hockeywiz542]

 

[dredeye]

Well all 5 people on board died. Unless Kobe was flying it himself it’s impossible for all of them to have been on board. He has a newborn that’s not even a year old. I don’t know why it’s so much harder to believe when it happens to a celebrity

[Eyedea]

Confirmed one of his daughters was onboard. 13 year old Gianna Bryant. They were heading to his academy for practice.

 

[ronzigato]

Damn.

[LeafsNation75]

After the opening tip of the Raptors and Spurs game it was won the Raptors and they let the 24 second shot clock expire as a tribute to Kobe since his #24. When the Spurs got the ball they did exactly the same thing.

RIP Kobe and his daughter, the NBA will never be the same.
