RaptorsHQ Draft Invite

What I would give to come hang out in the bar with you guys hhaah to bad i live in British Columbia, Kelowna

There is another Raptors fan in Kelowna! I thought I was all alone.

I am a 3rd fan from Kelowna!
I didn't think anyone followed the Raps in this town but me.

ahh it's too bad I don't work across the street from the Harbour Grill anymore. We use to have all our fantasy drafts and superbowl parties there.

F-Chise thx for the Harbour Sports Grille hookup when I was in town during playoff time. Ended up snagging tix but the pre-game there was rippling with Raptors electricity.

shout out to all the kelowna fans..u got a brother in vancouver. would love go back east for the draft but sadly couldnt get past the door at the bar.

No worries about not being able to be here in person folks...it's our full intent one of these years to either:

a) Do a live telecast from Harbour with our reaction to each pick (especially Isiah Thomas and Danny Ainge's) so that everyone is part of the action,

b) Do a live telecast FROM THE DRAFT IN NYC via RaptorsHQ TV,

c) Know someone who is being drafted so we can wear matching Jalen Roseish suits and storm the podium when his name is announced or,

d) Get drafted by a WNBA team

HQ you my man, I am a basketball junky too, I get the NBA TV in the states and you can watch all day basketball I never get enough.

my cousin owns Harbour Sports Grille. Ill let him know about all the free press on raptorshq

I almost blew my brains out when I saw that Simmons had live-blogged the NHL entry draft. Why? Because I had the same idea.

Sigh, you can compare contrast by reading mine here.

(be kind)

Wish I could join you all in TO, but Lethbridge is a tricky place to escape from these days.

Im gonna be in Toronto tommorow, so the possibility of my ego-inflated head popping in are astronomical!

Inform us on the prices of food and drinks, dress code,
entrances fees and such.

Oh and Marcia, iam going to be at the sheridan Hotel, waddaya say, you and i get together and have a few martinis and talk Raptors ball, by the Poolside!??

hmmm?
Peas&Luv

Im Soo there!!
No idea where Kelowna is, but im glad i ain't there!

heh heh
Its alittle disconcerning knowing now that the dudes in here not from Toronto.

I would never support the Grizz, Ever!
heh heh
But thats just me...

Psst Marcia,..waddaya say you join me at the Sheridan, by the Poolside, we order martinis,(on me) and talk raptor ball...
hmm..
Peas&Luv

Oh, one more thing..give us more info on the joint, Fran!
I mean, the dress code, cover charge, food&drink prices..excetera!!heh

Raptor fans from Kelowna!! hey add me to msn johngallicano15@hotmail.com
maybe we can start something for next year!!

Looking forward to the draft!

I don't suppose there would be anyone from Dublin who reads this site would there? Perhaps someone with NBAtv, a big screen, and maybe a girlfriend with hot friends?

I love how we started an international Raptors dating service...

More details as requested:

Draft starts at 7 so pop by anytime around then. I'll be there at 6. I think the menu is listed on the website link in the article above but if not, it's got all the usual sports bar grub you can expect.

Raptorville - That's cool about your cousin, we've been hardcore Harbour attendees for about three years now...

PS - Looks like we'll have to start doing a simulcast from Kelowna at some point, great to see Raps fans all over the country, not to mention the world (TJ Caino)

PPS - It's a SPORTS BAR Keon ha ha...no cover or dress code in effect...it ain't Brant House or Century Room!

Hey common tread here Lloydminster AB looks like the west sure likes their basketball. Have fun this evening andI wish I could attend and buy a round. Love this website keep up the great blogs

Just a shout out from Scotland here too. Since I left Toronto I have been missing my 'Banger Brother'. Haggis is great and all, but gimme some hoops anytime!

I'll probably pop in for a drink...it's pretty incredible how much I'm looking forward to this draft even though the raps don't have a pick. who knows what BC might pull off tonight!! (or tomorrow, or the next...)

garnett is phoenix? amare in atlanta?? should be an interesting night.

Thought I'd check in as another BC raps fan. I've met a few Raptors fans here in Vancouver, but no one who is versed in advanced Raptology.

Hey boyz, I already have tickets for funkfest.ca so I unfortunately will have to decline, even though I work downtown. In a choice between funky music and a draft wherein the Raps currently have no picks, I'm okay taping The Score and watching it when I get home. Enjoy. I will leave you with a really good opinion piece by Oscar Robertson on the NBA Draft's messed up eligibility requirements: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/28/opinion/28robertson.html?ex=1183694400&en=bd10b291fa07f5b0&ei=5070&emc=eta1 I agree with him 100% -- the restrictions caused by one-and-done plus forfeiting collegiate status if one is not drafted is so limiting. Looking at all the baby faced 18-year-olds in the NHL who can skip university completely, and/or get drafted and choose to go to a US college hockey program is so much more logical. Yup, the NHL actually makes more sense than the NBA and NFL sometimes. I'm not calling it a racist policy, but it smells bad ....

It looks like a very exciting draft to watch, but way it's being broadcasted in spain, too bad... Well, at least i wish i can find out about some amazing BC movement when i wake up tomorrow morning.

PD: Oops, i meant "but no way it's being broadcasted in spain"...

Don't mind if I do...

Random draft comments:

If Rudy Fernandez was available for cash consideration, why isn’t he coming here?

What’s the point of having a 5 minute time limit per pick if teams are just going to take as long as they want?

Does anyone else think that Thomas timed the release of the trade information to steal attention away from the Nets?

Steven Smith will never be accused of being a graduate of the Dale Carnage "how to win friends and influence people" course. He just abused the Lakers organization. Also, wasn’t he the one who shit all over Thomas last year? Did I just hear him praise Thomas as a basketball genius?

How exactly does Frye fit in with in with Aldridge?

Why is the draft held in NY every year?

I think the Raps would have been in play for Splitter at 29 or 30 if not for the Spurs.
