If we had a chance to re-evaluate our pre-season picks I think what stands out the most to me is how none of us took Milwaukee seriously as a title contender.

I think SR influenced everyone into picking Boston as a number one seed

We got a new guy today...
I wonder if there's any truth to the rumour that the Raptors might go for Bradley Beal.

This morning I had an appointment close to the Scotia Bank Arena and decided to pop in to the store to see what they have.

I ended up getting this:

My first sports team merch ever! :lol: I have a Maple Leafs mug, but other than that, I've never purchased any clothing like t-shirts or jerseys.

Great win against Boston tonight! I know Boston had a few guys out, but still, Brooklyn is really good!

They're usually a fun team to watch but you get them on a back to back road game so it could be ugly..

Yeah, Brooklyn is tough. That will be a good game to watch too. You never know though, sometimes teams are energized on the back to back. And, the flight from NY to Toronto is only about an hour, so enough time to rest a little and enjoy the cold. :lol:

I was surprised by that too. I really wanted to see De'Aaron Fox play. I think the many Serbians in the crowd(it was Serbian night) were also disappointed that Bjelica didn't play either. For us, no Kawhi or OG again. On the plus, looks like CJ Miles is getting his groove back. Fun game, I enjoyed it.

Some interesting news..

I would hate to lose Pascal Siakam. If this trade actually happens, he'll go for sure.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba ... ony-davis/
Report: Raptors expected to make trade offer for Anthony Davis

Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis spiced up NBA trade deadline rumours Monday when he requested a trade out of New Orleans.

A generational talent like Davis rarely becomes available in trade, so the suitors are expected to be lining up to acquire his services. Early contenders to land the 25-year-old emerged late Monday night, with The Ringer‘s Kevin O’Connor reporting the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, and Toronto Raptors are expected to make offers. The Boston Celtics figure to be another major player in the sweepstakes, but they cannot pull off a trade until the summer, unless Kyrie Irving is also moved.

On paper, it seems like the Raptors have enough to put together a compelling package. Pascal Siakam, the emerging star who has a legitimate chance of winning the NBA’s Most Improved Player award, figures to be the starting point in negotiations. OG Anunoby is an additional young piece with intriguing potential, and point guard Delon Wright would be another name to float along. Draft-pick considerations would also likely be included as the Pelicans look to the future, and Toronto has veterans like Serge Ibaka and Jonas Valanciunas that would need to be added to balance salaries — a necessity in NBA trades.

Pairing Davis with Kawhi Leonard would give the Raptors one of the best one-two punches in the entire NBA, and would instantly make them the heavy favourite to win the Eastern Conference. If Leonard decides to sign elsewhere in free agency this summer, Davis remains under contract through 2019-20, keeping Toronto’s window of contention open for another year. In addition, should Davis make it clear he doesn’t intend to sign with the Raptors long-term, the team could hypothetically look to flip him at next year’s trade deadline.

The Raptors have never been as big a title threat as they are this season. They made a big gamble by trading DeMar DeRozan for Leonard last off-season, and it sounds like Masai Ujiri and the front office are at least thinking about pushing even more chips into the centre of the table.
