A Boston Massacre

The Raptors are now the ninth seed in the East after winning this game. In an easy game, The Raptors blew the Boston Celtics out by 22 points. Guarded by former teammate Avery Bradley, Rajon Rondo was not able to facilitate to his teammates and turned over the ball 5 times in 25 minutes. DeRozan and Ross continued their usual dominance by leading the team in scoring and guarding the better players that are too tall for Avery Bradley. Brook Lopez aided them with his 10 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block. Almost all of the Raptors bench scored at least a point tonight. Rookies James Young and Shabazz Napier struggled against this young Raptors team. Young was not able to make any of his 8 shots during the whole game, and Napier was not trying to score any points.

Nate the Great

This was an outcome that should have never happened. Toronto should have gotten the win, but mistakes prevented them from running away with it. The Raptors turned over the ball 17 times compared to Chicago's 5. The 17 turnovers caused Chicago to have more chances in making shots during the game. Another problem was the second quarter. Although the Raptors had a 9 point lead coming into the second quarter, the Bulls outscored the Raptors 32-15 to end the half. The Raptors kept fighting back, but in the end, it was not enough. With Toronto leading 97-95, Chicago had the last possession. Inbounding the ball, Noah passed it to their point guard Nate Robinson for the last possession of the game. Robinson was running the time out until three seconds left when he took the shot over Avery Bradley, Toronto's best defensive player. As the buzzer went off, the ball went in the net with no problem and the Bulls won 97-98.

Casey: Thank you all for surviving this season, but-

Ross: But we're not even finished with the season. We might make it into the playoffs.

Casey: Well, that was what I was about to say. So anyways, as you guys may know-

Fields: That in Game of Thrones, @*$&_)!&$_&#%_&)&@#)(%&)@&)$&)$ and also @)&*$)&$)!&@)&)$#)(%@()%&()#$()^@()?

Casey: ....

DeRozan: Why you have to spoil it n*gga?

Casey: Get the f*ck out of here.

Fields: Wait what?

Casey: Go dress up as Nicki Minaj or something.

Fields: What did I do?

Ross: Can't believe you would do such a thing. Shame on you.

Fields: But I-

Casey: LEAVE THIS F*CKING PLACE OR I WILL KILL YOU!

Fields: But Game of Thrones is just-

Bradley: -sips iced coffee- Spoilers are bad for people and especially when it's about Game of Thrones. You committed a crime worse than terrorism.

Fields: I think you guys are overreacting-

DeRozan: Overreacting....OVERREACTING?! Game of Thrones is not meant to be spoiled. It is not to be messed. Once spoiled, divine punishment is made.

Casey: -on phone- Security, escort Landry Fields to somewhere far away.....Why you ask? He spoiled Game of Thrones.....Okay....Thank you. -hangs up-

Fields: Please, just remember it's-

Lopez: No, shut up f*ggot. Nobody cares about a sh*thead like you. You spoiling f*ck.

-Security comes-

Guard: Sir, please come with us. You have committed one of the worse crimes in history.

Fields: Woah, woah, woah. I just spoiled Game of Thrones.

Guard: Taser him.

-Other guard tasers Landry Fields and carries him out-

Casey: Well....now that's done, Wilcox! It's time for you to shine!

Wilcox: I can finally play?

Casey: Yeah, sure. It's the second to last game of the season so why not.

Wilcox: I'm so excited I can just-

Ross: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just don't finish that sentence.

Casey: Remember we are 40-40 right now so if we win this, we keep the eighth seed; but if we lose, we miss the playoffs and wasted money just to get some people.

Lopez: EXCUSE ME?!

Casey: Calm down, aren't you the same person that was searching for Niko Bellic the whole time we were in New York? Didn't you know Niko isn't real?

Lopez: Niko Bellic is real and I know it.

Casey: Whatever. So are you guys ready?

DeRozan: I guess.

Ross: Yeah sure.

Bradley: -sips iced coffee- Beating up MCW will be fun

Casey: Let's get out there and show them that we're a playoff team.

DeRozan: Yeah! F*CK ANDREW WIGGINS!

Ross: You do know that Wiggins is from Toronto?

DeRozan: Of course I knew that. Hehehehe.....

Bradley: But he should be dominating. He's tenth on the Rookie of the Year ladder or something right?

Ross: Actually he's fifth. But still, he's been overhyped so far. Whatever, let's just kick their a**.

Casey: Let's just go already. Geez....I don't get payed enough to deal with this....

That should be a crime in real life.

Playoff Chances Still Alive

Two more game until the regular season, and those games are a must win for the Toronto Raptors. In today's game, the Toronto Raptors go against the Philadelphia 76ers. DeMar DeRozan was assigned to guard rookie Andrew Wiggins for tonight. DeRozan shut Wiggins down by letting him only score 8 points the whole night. Most of the Sixers scoring came from MCW and Joel Embiid, but it was not enough to defeat the Raptors. DeRozan and Ross were on fire as usual and destroyed the Sixers defense. The Philadelphia police are searching for Terrence Jones when he stole their donuts 5 times the whole night and rejected them 3 times. In his first game, C.J. Wilcox failed to score in 4 shot attempts. The Toronto Raptors moved up to the seventh seed after a Magic lost. Toronto's last game is against the tanking Brooklyn Nets, and it is looking like it will be an easy win for the Raptors.
