Spurs 111, Raptors 106
***I’m not sure who’s been better at finding painful ways to lose lately, Toronto or Washington. In their previous game, the Raptors fell to the Bobcats at the buzzer… but the NBA has admitted that a last-second foul should’ve been called — a foul that would’ve sent Andrea Bargnani to the stripe with a second to go in a one-point game. Based on the way he shot the ball on Sunday, Bargnani probably would’ve bricked a pair anyway… but that’s another story. The night before they got shafted in Charlotte, the Raps gave up 33 points to the Sixers in a come-from-ahead defeat. They’ve also been through the triple-OT loss to Utah and watched George Hill beat them at the buzzer on opening night.
***The good news, Craptor fans, is that these losses aren’t really important. What actually matters is the development of young players like Jonas Valanciunas, who gave Tim Duncan just about all he could handle down the stretch on Sunday. Valanciunas scored 11 of his car

Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson got some late night shots up with two of Canada’s favorite pop culture icons, Justin Bieber and Drake. I wonder what that conversation was like. Interesting to note, Bieber seems to be repping the Blazers. PS, I love Drake! photo via Instagram

The other day I bragged about how I could spell Valanciunas without looking and I spelled it wrong! Then I got called out by a reader. How embarrassing! In any event, yesterday Jonas Valanciunas dropped 22/7/3 with 3 blocks in 39 minutes. Yeah, sure it was a double overtime game but you had to like what you saw. On Friday JV posted 9/6/1 with 2 blocks in 31 minutes. The game before...

So here we sit on Nov. 27th, 3-11 and at the bottom of the very talented Atlantic Division. Morale is low and with a stretch of road games coming up, the bleeding is not likely to stop.
Did the Raptors entire season turn with that first game loss to the Indiana Pacers? The way it is unfolding, quite possibly.
The Raptors should of won that game and the way they lost started a spiral...

Gregg Popovich was in rare form this afternoon while dealing with the media in Toronto. Trust me, this is instant Popovich as he takes great pleasure in toying with members of the media before a game against the Raptors.

Amir Johnson Balls It Up with Justin Bieber and Drake
This is a picture for the ages.
You got Drizzy Drake, Justin Bieber and Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson AKA the guy who likes his faces on his shoes and jackets.
Looks like they balled it up, but there’s nothing seriously I can take from this pic. Just sit back, enjoy it and look at Canada’s finest.

Justin Bieber is in Canada right now for his Believe tour. Biebs was able to visit with his family for Thanksgiving, being a local Candadian — He also got to play basketball with Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson and fellow Canadian artist Drake. The Raptors should sign these two to drum up interest…they are basement dwellers at 3-11 so far this season...

Canada (or #canada, if you’re on the Internet) has had it rough lately. The NHL lockout is nowhere in sight. The NHLPA is considering decertification. Canada needs hockey. They can’t play anything else. Look at Toronto’s mayor, he can’t take a snap without tripping and falling flat on his face. Now he’s getting kicked out of office. See how that works?Canada’s next...
