That was far more pleasant than the first couple of games of this series. The story of the first two games was that, though the Jays didn’t strikeout much, they weren’t hitting the ball hard. Yesterday there were a lot of hard hit balls by the Jays: 14 balls hit at over 100 mph. It […]

Good win to close out the preseason. Next time they take the court, it will be for real against the 76ers. Raptors fans are funny. They trashed their own team way more than they did the Celtics. Poor Scottie Barnes. He really got a lot of hate from the fans. And, they sent a lot of love toward the Celtics, especially Pritchard and White. I do think the Celtics are going to be fun to watch this season. My favorites are in bold. What ar...
