Gameday: Raptors vs Knicks – Mar. 5/10

There’s no better way to welcome back Chris Bosh, and break out from a 4 game losing funk than to play the Knicks.

Gameday: Raptors vs Knicks – Jan. 15/10

We got screwed by the schedule this week. The Raptors have had 3 full days off since that loss to the Pacers, and I couldn’t think of a better game than against our Atlantic rivals.
