Why January will be a beautiful month

I’ve spent all morning taking down old calendars and putting up new ones, making sure to circle every Raptor game for the month of January. If there was ever a time to take advantage of scheduling, this is the month. Toronto faces off against a chunk of teams that are either living in the basement or under the stairs.

The Raptors didn’t have a great basketball month in December, but we went .500. I won’t lie, I jumped on my bed for a good 20 minutes. But January proves to be a month that we may throw into the books as a winning month. We play 15 teams, 11 of which are currently out of the playoffs. Only 3 of those teams have winning records. The rest are in the deep end, holding onto each other for dear life.

I don’t have any illusions about the Raptors becoming the makings of the next ‘comeback sports’ movie. If I wanted more W’s, I’m buy a pack of M & M’s. But we do have a legitimate shot of booking some wins.

Some predictions for the short term:

  • Jalen Rose, Part II. It’ll be deja-vu all over again as Jalen decides he’s had enough of wearing warm-ups.
  • Rock’em, Bosh’em Basketball. Chris looks angrier every game. He’ll blow up and go ballistic. Expect better numbers.
  • Hoffa learns to play basketball. I got ya, didn’t I?
  • Gene Keady makes a difference. Make no mistake, this guy is a walking basketball repository.
  • Alvin Williams retires. I’ve driven my car on fumes before, but this guy’s tank fell off months ago.
  • Norma Wick asks real questions. Yeah, that’ll never happen. Got ya again.
