Welcome to the second instalment of GMF31YORLOPBPWBL. I believe it very important to give back to my community, thus the verbal basketball clinics you receive in these posts. Use them well my beautiful children.
The Fit - Throw a fit ... arms flailing, jumping around, and of course cursing. Oh! ... and don't forget to seem remorseful afterward. The simplicity of the fit can be deceiving. You have to really sell it. Freak the hell out.
This bastard post has been a draft for a month ... so fuck it ... that's all for today ... one fucking move.
More to come!!!

Living the Life of a Preseason Gaaad
Thanks to a wonderful cougar and my handsome friend Kyle romancing some tickets out of her, I was able to attend last night's second Raptor's preseason game ... courtside ... 7 rows up ... heaven!!!
The game was actually stupendous. The young guys got most of the burn for certain, but with the game being played at such a frenetic pace one couldn't help but enjoy.
A few guys really stuck out to me.
Firstly Sonny Weems. Energy, athleticism, dunk after dunk. He was the best player on the court that night.
Secondly, Reggie Evans. Grit, tenacity, passion. He is as billed thus far and I don't care what the other Raptor bloggers write when they say that allowing him to get the ball could be the best defensive play any team makes, he is a hugely important addition to this team. Not only for what he brings on the court, but also for how he can inspire his fellow Raps.
The final piece that I have been greatly impressed with is Marcus Banks. I believe that his on court leadership and hustle have been completely the opposite of what I was expecting, making me realize that we didn't really get to see this guy last year and might actually have a nice piece on our hands. It just goes to show how the hype machine can really get carried away as most Raptors fans completely dismissed Banks as a good-for-nothing, end of the bench salary eater.
The three people that can do better in my mind ... Calderon, Jack and Bellinelli. I'm not worried about them though as their games will surely pick up in the next two weeks.

Pay me ... not them.
Wait and see kiddles ... that's really all I have to say about the upcoming Raptors season, wait and see. Spending a week at home on staycation I have realized, via following amateur Raps bloggers profusely (and some not so amateur ... much love to RapsHQ, Smith, Smith and Grange though), that none of us know what in the shit we are talking about and that we'll really have to wait and see. On paper that is a hot team ... but the speculation is fucking silly! As my man Venereal Disease, er, Vishus Delishus said in his last post ... sacre bleu! I am totally into naughty monkey love! ... oh, and that we'll just have to see how it all plays out.
