TJ's been bad but redeemed himself in the past, but the last two games
have been beyond awful. There isn't one aspect of his game that isn't
in a total funk. Even his Texan swagger is off.

I think that if BC had any doubt as to which PG to keep, or whether to
keep both, he'll have a much clearer picture after we're eliminated in
Orlando next Monday.

So - you think Raps will take one game at home?

So you're predicting a win tonight. I predict a totally demoralizing
shot through the heart last second loss that stuns the crowd. It's just
been that kind of year. :(

I'm predicting the win on Saturday, since I'll be in attendance. The
Raptor's franchise has never lost a playoff game with me in
attendance.

If someone has tickets for tonights game and wants to give it to me
for free..... :)

You gave away your tickets? For free? I mean I understand how you
feel about the team and all, but that's just foolishness! You could
easily have made your money back and then some. Unless.. you're
aiming for a promotion :P

That means you're also predictiing a loss tonight, putting them down 3-
0. I just don't see them taking a game if they go down 3-0.

I already gave mine to my boss and his son. Both games. Something I
never thought I'd do, but there ya go. My heart just isn't in it this
year.

No no, not free. I took in my boss as a 50% partner on my season seats
two years ago. I no longer live in Toronto, and it wasn't realistic to
expect to attend 41+ games any more. So the first year, we split up the
tickets. This year I gave him control for the season because I was busy
with other stuff. I am the subscriber of record, but his name is also on
the account.

As you know, subscribers have the option to purchase additional playoff
seats. I have always bought lower bowl seats in section 121 for the
playoffs and sold my 300 level seats. But this year I decided not to
exercise my option, and I left the balcony seats in my boss' hands,
which is only fair since he paid for every game this season but two.

He actually gave me those two games (Spurs, Magic) as a gesture of
thanks, but I insisted he let me pay for them. Those were the only games
I attended this year.

Oh yeah, re the promotion, I actually *was* promoted by him a couple
years before we formed the partnership and he's no longer my boss. We're
both the same rank. I just call him that from force of habit. You know,
like players always say, "coach". :)

Hey, did MLSE make a big deal about adding his name to the account?

No, it was no big deal. They don't seem to care as long as the seat
holder of record isn't changing. That is the thing that gets them all
fired up. They won't let you do that unless you buy a personal seat
licence. Fat chance! So you can't sell your seats or give them away. The
seats have to stay in your name, and you bear sole responsibility for
them, but they will happily accept payment from anyone. ;-)

Amazing what one game, a comma and a bad matchup can do for a guy, no?
