Denvers offense looks pretty solid terrible defense though.

Vegas has the bulls over under win total for the season at 27.5. Exactly where they finished last season. Seems a little low with a starting roster of Zach Levine, Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen, Jabari Parker, and either the caveman Robin Lopez or Wendell Carter Jr at center. They were on a tanking mission too last season and still won 27 games.

:lol: Ya know, I am still thinking IT can command some major stats though it's like Danny had a crystal ball with that trade. The west was so tight in the middle and now that LeBron is there I think we'll see a shift with some teams....I could be wrong on this; I have OKC fairly low as well....don't like PG at all, but love Adams and their D is fuckin fierce. Dame is top 5 PG and Nurkic is developing well, though I am not totally sold there. The west is hard man. :flip: :boobs:

What do you guys think of KL's letter?
I've been reading many negative comments about it and that Kawhai didn't actually write it.

I think he should have said something sooner, but he has now, so time for everybody to move on. Maybe the Raptor's organization will help him with a PR coach to show/teach him how to be a little more approachable and open.

Honestly, if that's the extent and depth of feeling and thought he puts up for SA, Toronto will get nothing.

At least he didn't have a publicist write it and did it himself.

We have Cleveland. :jasper:

Okay, let's wager. I honestly can't predict who will win right now. We have new coaching staff, new team members. Okay, I'll say the Raptors win by 5 points. If we lose, I'll send you some Raptors merch, like a key chain. :lol:

C's are playing again on my b-day on 2/26/19. It's the same week as the Spurs game 2/22/19. I am really going to try for that game but I doubt I'll have any luck unless I want to spend a lot of money, which I do not.

BTW, tickets aren't officially on sale yet. Maybe to season ticket holders.. :noclue:

True, tickets aren't on sale yet. The ones I looked up are season ticket holders. I think those prices will maintain traction....maybe increase as the dates approach.

I think the last couple of fb chats we've had on gamedays have ended poorly for me, but I am as hopeful as I am confident in this years C team. It seems alot of people like this Dino team..I'm not one of them. This KL thingamabob has been a really weird trip...it's gonna take alot to gel :noclue: Anyways, I am thinking a photo with the other teams brand or such....still thinking on it :banana:
