The Toronto Raptors kick off their NBA regular season tomorrow night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. I enjoy following the Raptors, and have been doing so since day one, but I don't know Raptors basketball the way Kic knows Raptors basketball. Throughout this season, I've asked the Kicster to submit guest blog entries about the Raps. This is the first. To be a sports fan in Toronto these days seems...

He's expected to be a favourite with Toronto Raptors fans this year, but it took just a couple of early hustle plays for Reggie Evans to endear himself to the crowd at the John Labatt Centre.

It was an intrasquad scrimmage against guys he'd been beating on for more than a week, yet Reggie Evans was still unrelenting, chasing down errant shots and loose balls and knocking anyone in his way aside.
Man, if you thought Monta Ellis had rapping skills ...guess what I just found. That's right - your boy (not mine), Marco Bellineli just dropped a new hot single since his recent move to Toronto. You think I'm joking? PEEP THIS! Not only did we trade the Raptors a talented (term applied loosely) shooting guard for a big sack of Oreos ( Devean George ), we also gave them a budding rap artist. No wonder...

The franchise is committed to Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes , and the coaching staff at least owes it to Sean May to see if he can hang. Brockman would be next on the...
