I love people, working, reading, working out and watching the Toronto Raptors! I try to lovingly mock most things, with myself being the first target.

Is there a Canada tax you have to pay though? I hate the concept, but NBA players have been known to be babies about coming to Canada, which might mean we always pay more.

I love listening to the Car Talk classic podcast where those two knuckleheads make fun of anyone with a VW bus or classic Beatle and their reliability, when my formative years were that VW was nearly synonymous with Toyota for durability and usually more fun to drive.

That's really good for an 82! The Kia will keep going forever. The change in that brand quality in the last 22 years has been tremendous, similar to Volkswagen going from beaters in the 60's to an almost premium brand by the late 90's. Drove the Kia EV6, just beautiful.

Michael Porter Jr is a trash human being. I don't care if he's MVP or riding the bench, I don't care how much money he has, he and his brothers are terrible people. One of the reasons I want the Nets getting a beat down every game.

I'm really upset that they're not killing this abysmal Nets team.

If you can't beat this Nets team, blow up the roster.

Dear Raptors, the fact that you're not up by 15 at least with this clown show of a team tells me the Knicks/Pistons are going to murder you this year.

I'll still take Matty D everytime, with respect to Mr Eagle, as he's quite good.

Dear Alvin Williams, I chuckled with that hand check line. Keep up the good work.

Beat em up so they break up the team and Bobby Webster brings Zach Edey home!

Boourns, Alvin might not be Jack Armstrong, but I really like his style in that he praises and criticizes the Raptors fairly. Vince never really says anything. Ian Eagle is good but I'll take Matty Devlin any day.

I hope he follows in the steps of other former great Raptors Lil' Bastards players like FVV and the GROAT Kyle 'Go Through Your Legs' Lowry!

Just started watching the game, not impressed by the score. Raptors, if I'm going to tell Bill Simmons and Ryen 'Stalker' Russillo they're full of it, you guys dominate teams like the Nets. They are HISTORICALLY BAD!

Congrats to Drake, but this will always be my personal rookie of the year.

Always a bad show. I'm 43, I grew up on it, just a bad show like most late 70's through 80's sitcoms. Great intros, bland show. Exceptions like Cheers come to mind.

It's questionable how roomy, when I was 19, some friends had late 70's beaters and my 6'2 36"waist 21" shoulders sometimes felt squat in certain models where you would've thought I'd have oodles of room. Sat in a Ford Fiesta that an employee bought 7 years ago, roomy for my now 6'3 42" waist body.

Totally agree. A year ago, I was perplexed by talking heads saying JP's contract was bad. Yes, escalating kinda sucks, but he wanted to be there, at times seemed like the most important player on the court in terms of driving offense and was clearly a really good center. The back issue changes that.

If the Raptors don't, then it's a below mid tier team masquerading as an above mid tier team.

Should we try and get Gafford from the Mavs?

There are many life lessons you can pull from the 1986 Transformers Movie, chief among them being when faced with a daunting challenge, relax and say to yourself 'Me Grimlock love challenge!' and throw yourself at the issue.

Absolutely agree. I'm 43, my uncle is 65, we always disagree on vehicles. He contends that cars were better in the 70's, I contend that he enjoyed being a teenager and that was wonderful 1970's cars were highly unreliable compared to vehicles from the early 2000's let alone now.

Totally agree with you. The only concern should be finding players that understand the job is to help develop Cooper Flagg into what he can be. Can't expect Davis or Irving to take that role yet in their careers.

@johnamaechi.apsintel.com Just listening to you on the 'HoneyDew' podcast. Fantastic! Always a big fan, always a treat to hear you in conversation.

How he treats his teammates and those around him is the most telling vs other international talents like Giannis and Jokic. Giannis wanted MVP, but was never willing to sacrifice the team for it, Jokic just wants to win. I think his reneging on team France was really bad form.
