Raptors Abroad

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (47-32) vs. Miami Heat (35-44) - April 11, 2015. The goal is simple. Run the table and all is well. We'll win 50 games, secure home court for the first two rounds, and feel all warm and fuzzy. The Raps are showing flashes of what we saw earlier in the season now that The General is back and Demar is playing like an all-star. Demar is getting to the level where he might have earned himself a nickname.

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (46-32) vs. Orlando Magic (25-53) - April 10, 2015. Chasing the 3rd spot, chasing 50 wins, chasing a franchise-record 49 wins. Lots on the line in this one. The Magic have been doing us a favour winning 3 straight against Eastern squads, but we need to end their run here.

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (45-32) vs. Charlotte Hornets (33-44) - April 8, 2015. Just gave up two gimmes to the Nets and Celtics. We need to run the table the last 5 games if we want to get to that magic 50 wins. Going to have to go through some hungry teams to get there, this is step one. Go Raps.

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (45-31) vs. Boston Celtics (34-41) - April 4, 2015. Raps imploded in the 4th agains the Nets, giving up 37 pts and losing a close one. Got the Celtics also on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, but like the Nets they are battling to stay in the playoffs. Got to show up against a hungry squad.

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (45-30) vs. Brooklyn Nets (34-40) - April 3, 2015. Going for 4 wins in a row, and trying to hold on to home court going into the playoffs. Got to come up with one against a streaking Nets team fighting to stay in the playoffs.

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (44-30) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (16-58) - April 1, 2015. Wiggins and AB are both suiting up. It's hard watching them play against the TRaps, because normally I'm rooting for them. Here's to a good game for the Canadian boys and a Toronto win. Everyone's happy then, right?

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (43-30) vs. Houston Rockets (50-23) - March 30, 2015. Okay, we beat the Lakers. That's one. Here's a good chance to get a W over a team that is exactly where we want to be, with 50 wins. The Rockets are resting Dwight Howard, and Pat Beverly is out for the season. Lowry is still out with a back contusion, but Grevis has stepped up nicely in his absence. Go Raps!

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (42-30) vs LA Lakers (19-51) - Mar 27, 2015. Podcast number 2 on the day, and I needed it. The Raps lost a big one to the Bulls after blowing a 4th quarter lead big time. Time to take care of business against one of the worst Laker teams of all time statistically. Need this one. 

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (42-29) vs. Chicago Bulls (44-30) - Mar 25, 2015. I'm back! An amazing trip to Phuket and a few days of travel in between and I'm mad late on my podcast. Three games to be exact. No worries, they are all coming out today. I recorded game 72, 73, and 74 back-to-back-back. Boo ya. I and I Rapresent.

Breakdown of the Toronto Raptors (42-28) vs. Detroit Pistons (27-44) - Mar 24, 2015. Got to take care of business if we want to be an elite team. Getting down to it.
