I really didn't want to go through America to get home, but lack of charging options and exorbitant Hotel costs in Thunder Bay through Sudbury means I'll be going through the US to get to Waterloo to visit a friend. Canada, get your shit together. Holy fuck, $200+ bucks a night is insane!

This ain't right. IT AIN'T RIGHT!

I'm driving through Manitoba right now, so I missed the game, but Holy smoke, I hope these young fellas make Simmons, Stalker Russillo and all the other overly critical talking heads eat their words. #Raptors

Very relatable TBH

Dominic Canzone makes me want to eat a calzone. Strike him out for me Fisher or he's going to ruin my diet.

I have an important announcement, after deep reflection, some soul searching, and introspection, I've come to the conclusion it's more fun to watch the Jays lead a game 12-2 than lose a game 10-3. Thank you all for hearing me out on this.

If our healthy starting 5 can't get a lead on this weakened Celtics team, I fear for what's coming this season. No mommy, no! #Raptors

Damn, just noticed @justesbaraheni.bsky.social gave up on Bluesky. Boourns.

Are you starting to doubt Scottie Barnes, like me? Well @justesbaraheni.bsky.social is here with an exceptional video of why you should hold off on that. Don't be like me, I'm a basketball dummy. Listen to Es and the world will be a better place. #Raptors youtu.be/G8wXf35s94c?...

Dear @minakimes.bsky.social we may be rooting for different teams tonight, but I'll always be a fan no matter what. If the Bluejays fail today I guess that's karma for me enjoying a little too much all the nonsense Lebatard made you go through on the main show and Highly Questionable.

Shout out to @justesbaraheni.bsky.social , @samsonfolk.bsky.social and Tre from Raptors Republic, the content so far has been epic and incredible! Don't know how you do it Es, you're a national treasure.

If we don't sign Olivier Sarr to a max contract, then really what are we even doing here folks! Yet another reason why I should never be in charge of a NBA team! #HeroShot #Raptors #VivelaFrance

If these Raptors are healthy and don't finish with a high 40's win count, I just don't know what I'm going to do.

@kentremendous.bsky.social I NEED A POSCAST EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF THE BLUEJAYS FOR VANQUISHING THE IRE OF YOUR BASEBALL LIFE- THE YANKEES!

You should still root for the Bluejays @dgoodmantrublu.bsky.social , don't let some idiots in social media ruin it for you, just like I didn't let these mouth breathers ruin my fun with their nonsensical takes.

Ruh roh, 20 point lead is only 6 point.

Dear CMB, I love that you cared enough to go berserk at trying to stop that bucket even though the Raptors were up by 20. Yes it was goaltending, but it came from the right effort.

I need the Raptors to grow both Ja'Kobe and Gradey. They're both great scorers, and I don't want to choose between them.

If Scottie can't make it work with this nucleus, it's going to be tough. Couldn't make it work with FVV, Pascal and OG, there are no excuses now.

I still love Mogbo, he's at best an 8-9 player, but to win in this league you need depth. Love his tenacity, and effort! #Raptors

My God, BI is a wonderfully effortless bucket. This is a good team. #Raptors

This is a great question.

It makes me sad that Tuesday's episode of Pivot with @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com is still not downloading through PocketCasts properly.

I want the Bluejays to beat those damn Yankees, however I'm sadly selfish enough to have in the back of my mind 'The more the Jays win, the longer @blakemurphy.bsky.social isn't back at the Raptors Show.' Now that I've confessed that sin, my second one is I'm doubting Scottie again.

For some reason I have a feeling BI is the type of star that wants to be the best of the group, but not the focal point like a superstar is (I think SGA is a little like this), that he doesn't always need to be 'him' and knowing he's got a RJ, Scottie and IQ backing him gets the best out of him.

I'm going to be on Bluesky more often now that the Raptors are back. Anyone know why Chomche is out? Over/unders on CMB locking down Jokic? LET THE INSANELY OVER CONFIDENT TAKES BEGIN!

@kentremendous.bsky.social I NEED AN EMERGENCY POSCAST EXTOLLING THE WONDERS OF THE BLUEJAYS SPANKING OF THOSE DESPICABLE YANKEES!

I'm okay with @blakemurphy.bsky.social not being on the Raptors Show for another month if I get to see more beat downs like this. Besides, we won't really know anything about the Raptors until late November anyways.

@sweatpantsjoe.bsky.social how you enjoying this beat down of them damn Yankees Joe? youtube.com/clip/UgkxhUz...

Thanks for another episode of #PosCast @kentremendous.bsky.social , always a delight!

One swing skill: RJ Barrett and his cutting

Thank-you to @jessebrown.bsky.social for confirming that I didn't make a mistake cancelling my CanadaLand subscription a couple of years ago. I'm never going to be okay with convoy apologists, thought maybe I'd hear something different today, same old crap.

Dear Hawks fans, you know and your team knows Trae Young is not a max player. Hold the line, he'll make a lot of money, but his league bottom inability on defense means he can't be a max player and contend for a chip. share.google/hM13KgC5wCWW...

Newfoundland wildfire (Conception Bay?) from Bell Island

@vivekmjacob.bsky.social Really enjoyed listening to you on Locked on Raptors the last few weeks! Always enjoy when you're on with Sean!

The Raptors have figured something out – Pull Up Tre w/ Samson

Dammit, I need the reg season to start now! #SheadHead #Raptors youtu.be/c37-9o-o1m4?...

The Raptors will hold training camp in Calgary this year, Sep. 30-Oct. 3, with an open practice Oct. 3, then bounce around for preseason, including Vancouver:

The Raptors will hold training camp in Calgary this year, including an open practice on Oct. 3 at the university.

Raptors will play Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Bruce Brown and the NBa title contending Denver Nuggets in Vancouver on October 6. Marc Stein has also reported Dallas Mavericks will hold training camp in former land of the Grizzlies this year.

NBA Canada’s pre-season series has Raptors vs Denver in Vancouver on Oct. 6. Pretty good marquee opponent with Jokic and Murray against Toronto

The Raptors will play a preseason game against Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Nuggets at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Oct. 6. It will be Toronto's 7th exhibition game there since 2010 (they're an undefeated 6-0 in those contests).

Where will Join Stewart live in a year when the Late Show shuts down. There's not a lot of desks that big out there!

The whitest kids you know.

Well @megalu.bsky.social great win by your SL team. That big guy Isaac is something else!

Because Misery loves company.

I predict that LeBron will dislike Marcus Smart almost as much as he dislikes Mario Chalmers by all Star break.

Ja'Kobe, we need you to hit open 3s my man. 😓 #Raptors

Much better quarter. Now it's a game!
