We’re back, we’re healthy, we’re incredible. Raptors record sits at 48-18 after two impressive wins against the Lakers and Heat. RAPS: Fred looking like Steph, Kyle is a legend and OG just shut down LBJ and Bam back to back. Of greatest concern, Siakam looking tentative at times or our deep bench looking a little shaky?

Basketball is back!! Our first glimpse of the bubbled games has begun. It’s exciting but also super weird and strange… Raptors: Is Perkins puffing up Pascal?

Does that heartbreak still register for you? Open Gym was already next level. Are they going to win an Oscar for filming stuff in Orlando? NBA: The WNBA just got their tests in and they did a bit better. Liz Campage opted out due to a condition, but otherwise the rate is 5%. Are you excited for the WNBA to, perhaps, have its moment, albeit under ridiculous circumstances? Silver said significant spread in the NBA campus could result in the league shutting back down. Is this the first indication of the NBA having second thoughts or is this just old, cold, calculated Silver? All this bubble talk! The NBA is a massively rich corporation.

It’s been a fun five weeks watching The Last Dance. It gave us the basketball content we so desperately needed during this ongoing crisis and we’re grateful for it. And now it’s over! Where do you rank The Last Dance among other sports films/documentaries? There are rotation players and role players and Steve Kerr was one of the best role players.

Episodes 07 and 08 of The Last Dance aired and we’ll continue to relate our content to the doc! Time stopped when they asked Cartwright if MJ is a nice guy. The answer is no and it was cringeworthy.

A time when the World Wide Web, Doom and probably the most popular stuffed animals were introduced to the world.

The pandemic can’t keep us down, so let’s keep injecting some basketball content into our minds until the season resumes. Lots of episode 5 and 6 content related to Last Dance! If you watched episode 5 and 6, what’s more shocking: An incredible New York Knicks team or a dominant Charles Barkley? We’ve got some more updates to Freddie’s 2K character and the reporters are showing up for this one. Toni Kukoč proved himself after a tough start. Who else is a good example of that? Blast from the Drafts: Matty takes us through some highlights of an old NBA draft, a truly, madly, deeply important one for the Raptors.

Twenty years from now, when the Raptors get to make their coronavirus Last Dance-style documentary, what will it be called and who will be the hardest interview to get?
