To remove a Hornets nest, you need to "Smoke em’ out" like George Bush JR once said. The Raptors did that, scooped a much needed win and left Charlotte NC unharmed or stung. Today was also the NBA Trade Deadline which saw more moves than your Auntie at a wedding after a few custom cocktails. El Hoopo, Max P & A.Rod tip the DJ and get some old No Limit Records played at that wedding, be...

The Raptors are in California but so is Masai. First stop was Northern Cali in Sacramento where the Purple Rain came short on a sac and lost by 5. Vibes pre game had Pascal as good as gone but Sac said Keegan ain't goin' nowhere. But with Masai and Bobby on the road as well who knows what else that Califas sunshine might bring. El Hoopo, A. Rod and Max P load up the old school VW van with...

Plain and simple - Masai went OG vintage ski mask in & out 211 NBA robbery on the Knicks (AGAIN) and even snatched a 2nd round pick - but don't get it Keith Sweat twisted more are required.

The moment Duncan Robinson had a wide open dunk and ran back with a big smile on his face, a feeling came to me. An urge from the past specifically the 90's where the thought of throwing my Sega Genesis out of the window in pure frustration fell upon me.

Seoul 1988.  Carl Lewis came close but was off pitch, slower and got whooped by the better sprinter, the legend Ben Johnson.  The Raptors also came close to beating Brooklyn - but in the end didn't just like ol' Carl. Next up was the Phoenix Suns - the Raptors did a very Raptors thing and beat a good team after slippin' to a lesser one in BK. But in the end this win had the city real h...
