@RapsReport Ochai too!

@RapsReport @DuncanSmithNBA My theory: Monty didn't want to coach, but the Pistons made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

So Plan B was to take the money, then get fired. It worked.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@kitten250 @stevenwaldman @AshaRangappa_ And Dems spend zero media dollars or effort in rebutting the lies. They leave it up to Daniel Dale or whoever.

Big mistake. Lies are the fuel that propel Trump-ism. If you cut off the lies - every single one - then you deprive it of oxygen.

Inform the low-information voter.

@JoshuaTruj25493 @Nate_Cohn Dems in 2022 were so busy patting themselves on the back for avoiding the expected Red Wave, they failed to notice that the Republican House and Senate candidates got more votes nationally than Dem candidates received.

@MRBullMktEver @reidhoffman The point was to scare Mike Pence out of the Capitol, so that Grassley would take over as chair of the count. Chuck would accept the challenges, and send the election to the House (where the Republican state majority would prevail).

But Pence stayed, and democracy survived.

@StephenWickens1 I live in the area, and was happy to see the bike lanes put in. Danforth was never officially four lanes of traffic, so the bike lanes didn't really increase the constant congestion we now see on there. Closing the ramp from Lakeshore East to the DVP is probably a bigger factor.

@MR_STiXX You're saying Vince couldn't have jumped over Frederic Weiss - backwards?

Unretire that number!

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@dhackett1565 Kyle is the gold standard for jersey retirement. Match his record (championship; leading the Raps to the second best winning percentage in the league, 3 years running), and I'll consider it.

@shaperotator @FinancialPhys So ... a bunch of female Don Drapers?

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@MikeBeauvais To be fair, Lowry had pulled a "bitch" move on Gordon to elicit that response. Just as Russ did to Scottie last night. Fair for Gordon to protect his smaller teammate, tho',

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@RapsReport @MrMcsriff Eh, Tommy Heinsohn is long gone. I love Scal. He compared Gradey Dick to Larry Bird the other day. And Nurse's "leave the corner 3 undefended" co-called defences WERE janky.

Worst = Cavs announcers.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@NAFOBarfly @burlycain @DanielDiMartino Yup. These are the same people who are now painting Churchill as the villain in WWII.

Apparently Churchill's refusal to make peace with Hitler after Poland got swallowed up and France fell somehow caused the Holocaust and Operation Barbarossa.

Up is down. Black is white.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@dhackett1565 Mogbo is a revelation after that horrible pre-season. Some good plays against the Cavs, and a great game today.

Interview (x2) worthy.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@Bubblebathgirl @MarkHamill Yeah, Democrats should be more cult-like. Cult members don't argue with each other. Example - the current Republican party.

Kamala's not a weak leader. She's just not the strong-man daddy figure your type seem to crave.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@JLew1050 Makes sense. Raps swept their seasons series against the eventual champion Lakers that year. Even without Kawhi.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@axel_rod80 @RapsReport Ballmer just attended one Clippers-Raptors game. Nothing wrong with that. Sitting in a crowd of 20K is completely different than what happened here. Surely you must recognize that.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@dhackett1565 Are you saying to start Davion when RJ is back? Not Ochai?

Ochai seem best when surrounded by good players. And if Scottie is a 4, the team needs as much size as possible.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@w2truong @KevinOConnorNBA @YahooSports At one point in calling the Raptors beat down of the Celtics (at least until the scrubs finished the game) last week, Brian Scalabrini excitedly compared the red-hot Gradey Dick to Larry Bird.

I'm fine with that comparison.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@duckshoe People with "unwavering principles" make me laugh.

Life - and voting - is all about making a choice. When perfection is not on the ballot, and it NEVER is, you have to choose the least imperfect option. To do otherwise is to passively accept the most imperfect option.

[Andrew James @johnkeeshan65]

@MikePMoffatt The rationale for DCs is to ensure that existing property owners aren't subsidizing the true costs of new developments - e.g. road expansion. Are you suggesting that DCs are wrongly being used to generate municipal revenue while avoiding a property tax hike?
