Raptors vs Lakers 9:30 ET *Return of the Black Mamba*

[Westvleteren]

Someone forgot to tell the Knicks that they don't have a draft pick this year.

Hahahahaha! What a mess in NY…. and Massai's handy work is still helping to build up the Nuggets. That's the only thing giving me faith this year.

[Westvleteren]

I was referring to the Nuggets getting the Knicks' 1st round pick.

[Superjudge]

WTF?!?!?!?!

Knicks lost by 40 at MSG! wwwwwwhat

they got pumped. strong tank there.

Dwight Howard: Birthday December 8.

Kobe's return date: December 8.

[Superjudge]

Likely a coincidence, but knowing Kobe....well, ya never know....will we see 84?

[caccia]

Hansbrough has an ankle sprain apparently. Is he playing tonight?

It's a shoulder sprain, whoever wrote that Rant article is an idiot. He had an MRI yesterday afternoon, according to Casey, but I have not heard anything definite today. Often, the only cure is R & R for a week or two. One week from today is 15 December.

Raptors getting a huge media promotion from the NBA today.

They are talking about the return of Kobe but just look at the 0:27 mark.

The Raptors are BIG

NBA says,
"In the drama that is the THE The...... RETURN Return...... OF of...... KOBE Kobe!!!, we give you the Washington Generals Toronto Raptors !!!!
Toronto, try to make Kobe look good

News flash: Rudy Gay to Sacramento:

"The Toronto Raptors have reached an agreement in principle to send Rudy Gay to the Sacramento Kings, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Kings will send Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes to the Raptors. The Kings will also acquire Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray in the deal, sources said."

This trade looks fantastic for Toronto going forward. We get the starting small forward, starting point guard, and backup center from the Kings.

[KazanTheMan]

So who is starting SF now? Demar? Ross at SG?

[mcHAPPY]

So who is starting SF now? Demar? Ross at SG?

Fields.

Casey is trying to get Masai to dial up Brooklyn to inquire about AA.

Somehow, someway Ross still won't be 6th man.

[rocwell]

Tyler is out tonight.

Shorthanded raps!

[KazanTheMan]

So this is most likely a stupid question, but we obviously won't be using our new guys right?

They're in SAC town and I'm not sure, but I think they have to pass medical with the Raps docs now, correct me if I'm wrong
