The Raptors head out west to begin a six-game road trip starting in Portland on Monday for a 10 p.m. Dubois on the staff … Ball security is going to be a focus for both teams with Toronto and Detroit ranking second and third, respectively, in forced turnovers in the NBA this season. Unfortunately, Kelly Olynyk is out with a left-knee sprain, leaving former Raptor Cory Joseph and fellow national team member Trey Lyles the only Canadian representation active on the roster … Casey, who won a coach of the year award while in Toronto, has brought back two former Toronto assistants to join him in Detroit in Rex Kalamian and Bill Bayno, joining former Toronto development coach J.D. The Pistons have three Canadians on their roster, just like the Raptors, so there was a chance that six Canucks could share the court in a game, which would be an NBA first. Carter even gave Drake his own shout out on Twitter, telling Drake that he was honored to be the face of Drake’s diss track. Anunoby will likely start on Grant, but expect him to see some time with rookie Scottie Barnes as well. Drake’s reference to Carter apparently caused Joe’s profile on social media to skyrocket, as the former Blue Jay told TMZ Sports, My Twitter’s been blowing up It put my name back in the mix. Grant made the biggest scoring jump season over season a year ago when his points per game average rose more than 11 points. It takes time and you know, it’s a new team, it’s got new players, it’s a new position and this is what I really needed to understand. At the end of the day, I came back from injury and this is what I needed to realize. “You can’t just feel like you can come in a game and just do whatever you want.
“If there’s one thing I’ve learned to this tough stretch, it is you can’t cheat the game,” Boucher said. Where and how many minutes that leaves for Boucher is the quandary.īut it’s clear Boucher’s push is only just getting started. The team is clearly dedicated to developing Achiuwa, so he’s going to play, and Birch has been the team’s most effective big, whether that’s setting screens, anchoring the defence or just about any other measure short of actual scoring. With Pascal Siakam back in the fold - although he sat out Thursday’s game, it coming on the back end of a back-to-back - Nurse has been going small without a true centre in the starting five, meaning both Khem Birch - who should be back on Saturday - and Precious Achiuwa have been coming off the bench. The challenge for Nurse now, if Boucher continues to move back to the player he was a year ago, is to find some consistent minutes for a guy who brings a little of everything this team could use, from rim protection to outside shooting to second-chance opportunities. You know, we believe in him and we keep telling him that and he produced tonight.” “We’ve got enough evidence or data on him to know what he’s capable of to keep rolling him back out there and not say we’ve got to go somewhere else,” Nurse said after Thursday’s game. Head coach Nick Nurse sounded like a man re-dedicated to finding his breakthrough player from just a season ago meaningful minutes going forward. Step by step, but I’m definitely happy about (Thursday night) and I’m going to keep getting better at it.” These 10 games (before Thursday night) I played like I couldn’t play or wasn’t the player I’m supposed to (be). “It felt good to get it back (Thursday),” he said. Meanwhile, Meek Mill reportedly showed up late for a July 28 concert in Toronto and was booed after a four-song setlist.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The rap follows " Charged Up," the song Drake originally uploaded to the Internet as a response to Meek Mill's allegations that he doesn't write his own lyrics. Accompanying it on SoundCloud is a photo of former Toronto Blue Jays player Joe Carter (above), who hit a home run to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in the '93 World Series. Tootsie's is a soul food bar and lounge on South Street. I'm not sure what it was that really made y'all mad / But I guess this is what I gotta do to make y'all rap / I mean whoa, can't fool the city, man, they know what's up / Second floor Tootsies, gettin' shoulder rubs / This for y'all who think that I don't write enough / They just mad cause I got the Midas touch
The new rap starts with "Oh man, oh man, oh man, not again," and gets pretty brutal.
The competing team, of course, was the Philadelphia Phillies. The rap, fittingly titled " Back to Back" (get it?), features a cover photo of Toronto Blue Jays baseball player Joe Carter during his walk-off home run in the 1993 World Series. Drake dropped a second song on July 29 that attacks rapper Meek Mill, taking a swing at not just the Philly artist, but Philly itself.
