RAPTORS: Looks like it's going to be the Cavs on opening day, AKA Barnes vs Mobley. It's not quite a rivalry yet but it could be. Do any Raptors have rivalries across the league? Last year, Devin Booker got mad at the Raptor and a speaker lit on fire. What's something that will happen next season that no one could ever predict?

NBA: What do you think of the NBA Christmas schedule? Are Raptors fans officially over being slighted? Carmelo is doing a four-part documentary on his career. Who is another player or a team that deserves a doc, and what period would it cover?

With Adon Moss and Georgea Brooks!
