The sad part is, with this basket Omer Asik tied or outscored one-third of the Raptors who played last night.
Another eight of these and the Raptors have a chance to blow another overtime game.
Well, at least someone can score in the paint for the Raptors.
I’ve got more Raptors jokes, if you want. Just let me know.
Ah yes, the ancient “Rah Rah Ree, Kick ‘Em in the Knee, Rah Rah Rass, Kick ‘Em in the Throat” maneuver. Once only used on the defensive end by old warriors like Bruce Bowen, when done correctly, this can also be a devastatingly effective offensive strategy. Lucky for Tim Duncan, he has that metal endoskeleton, otherwise we could have had another Bill Cartwright scenario on our ears.
If ever there was a perfect time to hear Haddaway’s “What Is Love,” this is it. A missed opportunity, no doubt, but still worth watching just to see Jonas Valanciunas’ giggly head wobble.
Not to mention, you get proof that Jonas is most definitely NOT crosseyed like his bobblehead is. Very glad to have that cleared up.

“We get advice from Kyle. He brings us backpacks. That’s his advice. Really nice. The pink one, that’s my color.” — Jonas Valanciunas, who has already grasped the concept of biting sarcasm
Wait a second. I thought it was pronounced “Yo-nus,” but now Jonas Valanciunas’ own teammate is telling me it’s pronounced “Joe-nus.”
Phonetics are confusing. I’m just calling him J-Zone from here on out.
Well, he’s had a cartoon Amir Johnson face that looks like Andre 3000 put on his shoes and now his jacket. The next logical step is a pair of pants, but after that anything is fair game. Socks, underpants, an ascot, a tattoo of his cartoon face on his actual face — the sky is the limit. When you’ve got a smile that charming, you might as well put it on everything.
It’s OK, Raptor fans. Paying Landry Fields $6.25 million a year is fine because it means the Knicks won’t be able to afford signing Steve Nash, which greases the tracks for his eventual signing in Toronto. Playing the way he has thus far isn’t worth a tenth of what he’s owed, but it’s worth it to have a Hall of Fame point guard in the lineup.
Oh … right. At least he’s funny in interviews.
