All right, it is time now to discuss a team that, as I just said in our little pre-show discussion, I have no idea what the fuck they are.

0:12.1

And that is the Toronto Raptors with Blake Murphy.

0:16.0

How I do it meant?

0:16.9

I'm good, man.

0:17.8

I'm not used to hearing you swear on these.

0:20.1

This is a fun start. It also gives me the green light to swear and admit that I'm good, man. I'm not used to hearing you swear on these. This is a fun start. It also gives me the green light to swear and admit that I don't quite know what to expect from these guys either given, yeah, I don't know. It's not even the new pieces from the offseason. It's like the new pieces they picked up last year and just didn't bother to play. They're a bit of a mystery box here, man.

0:38.6

No, that's definitely true.

0:40.1

Before we start, though, I have to compliment you on your Instagram because it's a lot of things that I really enjoy.

0:47.8

Tattoos, wrestling, baseball, game, not baseball, family, cats those are those are like the three

1:44.9

And I guess, as we always like to start with these, is talking about last year and what we

can take away from it.

1:51.8

Is there anything with the incredibly weird year that they had?

1:55.9

You can kind of take us through for those who don't remember just what a ridiculous season the Toronto Raptors had
