I hope Porzingis is stronger than Yao, because I remember a scene where Yao was trying to fight Eric Boykins, and he got flipped over by him. "Him" as in Boykins. :p

So, change of topic.

Raptors lost to Utah, and they snap their fifth consecutive win against them. I'm sure they were leading them early in the fourth quarter. :(

Seriously, given the Raptors' nature, I expected this coming. After going 5-0, they are now 7-6.

That is why I resorted to cheering for the Warriors as well as the tanking of 76ers and Pelicans. :p

They don't have top prospects? If they do not, they should, because Kobe is set to retire after this season.

They have Russell, but Kobe has nothing left in the tank.

Honestly, I'd want to see him play more, since he is basically a legend, a future HoFer, once he retires. It is just as meaningful as watching Jaromir Jagr playing in the NHL.

The thing is, he has almost nothing in the tank.

For the team, he should have, but individually speaking, playing more increases his number of points, assists, and rebounds, so I'm good with that. :p
