Is there much Raptor content on Discord already? It does seem like a fresher platform. I sometimes use Discord for a different online identity of mine. It’s okay. I have no bias against it. I haven't particularly sought it out, but I'm sure that there are servers. I'm pretty such the Raptors' NBA subreddit has one, which therefore should be pretty active.

Oh, I do use r/TorontoRaptors on Reddit ... if only for the assumption that, due to its size and enthusiasm, any rumors will break there first. It's marginally less insane that RealGM.

Checking in and hope everyone is doing well, I gotta get back here more often lol.
Life is good out my way in Nova Scotia, I have a daughter who just turned 2 and a lovely family. Can’t believe I started on RC when I was like 13-14, I just turned 33 in November!

You guys surely must have more time for a forum out there.

Negativity alert! Negativity alert!
Yeah, there's too much bitchin' and whinin' on the internet. However ...
I just don't get all the praise Alex Wong has been getting for his work on the Raptors Show. I mean, it sucks anytime someone loses their job, so I totally sympathize. But in terms of his actual skill as a podcaster? I just don't see it. I found him to be terrible: boring and not terribly insightful.
Actually, Will Lou is pretty bad on the mic, too ... but at least he really knows basketball and helps me understand the game better.
(Now that I think about it, Will really needs to get some training on podcasting ... just how to speak clearly and follow a train of thought. He's a mumbler and a digresser, which isn't good. Or maybe it's the mics they're using? One good thing about The Ringer is that they really help their hosts learn how to speak better and be better hosts. I don't like a lot of them content-wise, but in terms of just production values and knowing how to talk, The Ringer is pretty good).
Sorry to be a grouch. Just wanted to vent.

Honestly, all I hear is hockey on my commutes. Wish there was a more dedicated radio station to the Raps, though. I listen to 1050 and 590 which is 90% Leafs.

Being a Leaf fan is the worst.

I dunno. I feel like progression has been made. One step closer to Keefe being fired and if we're lucky Tavares finally getting dealt. Really is on thin ice with me too. The leadership on this team is abysmal.

Leafs bounced in the first round yet again. Brutal. Eight years in a row making the playoffs but getting beaten in the first round (except last year, one second round appearance). So happy I never attached my hockey fandom to that team.

Got my hopes YET again. Should've just lost 4-1.
