Sad to think our Rate Fields don't even come with Guarantees anymore

Hard to put into words just how bad the McAfee Smackdown stuff was.

Can't call an offensive foul on a cool dunk, should be a rule

Stop chasing growth as a goal & growth will come *Better address switching costs *Provide asked-for features vs stuff existing base actively tell you they don't want *Stop crying about "mean people" at 100X the volume of actual mean people, and issue a guide on how to distinguish jokes =growth

Well that's a punch in the gut

Alejandro Kirk out of the game for the Jays after taking a foul tip off his left thumb

The Jays simply love ball too much to go home after 9

Dylan Cease always finding the hard cam for a staredown is a good bit. What a worker.

Immanuel Quickley and Chucky Hepburn remain out for Raptors on Friday. Jamison Battle (illness) is questionable. Everyone else listed as available.

Small Raptors transaction note: With Fultz's 10-day done, they need to sign their next 10-day today, if they want to keep the final day of the season open to convert a 2-way to make them playoff eligible. (Unless they just cut the 10-day early, I suppose.)

That's about as bad a late-season loss as it gets for the Raptors, in context of the standings & opponent. DeRozan amazing 2nd half, Achiuwa 28+19, Raps couldn't find the defensive gear late to close.

DeMar DeRozan passes Dominique Wilkins on the all-time scoring list! With a three, no less.

Murray-Boyles starts the second half for Poeltl. Poeltl played 14 minutes in first half, his first back-to-back in months. He's on the bench and looks to still be in the game, so might just a tactical tweak.

All eyes on the DeRozan return & the chase for Dominique, but Precious Achiuwa is going to break some Moses Malone records instead

Brandon Ingram (heel, back to back), Immanuel Quickley (planter fasciitis), Jamison Battle (illness), and Chucky Hepburn remain out for Raptors. Scottie Barnes is questionable with a left shoulder contusion. Westbrook, Murray, Sabonis, LaVine, Eubanks, Hunter out for Kings.

Raptors 905 go out in the first round of the playoffs. Great season overall with the most total wins, 3 guys getting call-ups to NBA deals, and good progression for the 2-ways. 1-and-done format and Raptors injuries necessitating Lawson minutes did them in tonight.

Cody Ponce has a right ACL sprain. Going to get a couple of opinions but will miss “significant time.” Exact timetable still to be established, possible surgery. Lazaro Estrada and George Kittle have jerseys in lockers here. No corresponding move yet but I’d bet it’s Estrada.

Have a pair of tickets for tonight's Raptors 905 playoff game (7pm) to give away! Just like this post to express your interest and I'll randomly draw a winner at 4:30pm.

Will never understand letting an exec handle the trade deadline when you know you're about to fire him but hey, better late than never, Leafs

After first slipping on the mound for a balk, Cody Ponce appears to have hurt himself trying to field a tough ground ball.

Most surprising thing about Jaden Ivey getting waived is that anyone would sit through a 45-minute Instagram video

Might make sense to go cricket style -- admit there's a margin of imprecision, where the call on the field stands for super-close calls, but you don't lose your challenge for it.

Trayce Jackson-Davis will join Raptors 905 for practice today. Will be interesting to see if there are other assignments for the 1-and-done playoff game Tuesday, while NBA Raptors are in action too.

Big Dubs for Toronto today: Jays, Raptors, Gleed

How about you Shea Langeleave

Immanuel Quickley remains out Sunday. Ingram (heel), Murray-Boyles (back), and Jackson-Davis (knee) are questionable. Franz, Black, and Isaac out for Magic.

This is one of the nastier Blue Jays debuts I can remember. Cease has the A’s drowning up there.

Markelle Fultz will play with Raptors 905 tonight in their regular season finale. 905 need a win to secure home court in the first round of the playoffs.
