Pre-Game Reconnaissance: Special Knicks-Raptors Back-to-Back Edition!

Prepare yourself for Knicks-Raptors!

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports

(It's a home-and-home, I'm bored, and the Knicks are making me grumpy. This will not be a regular occurrence.)

What's up with the Raptors?

They're been pretty good of late. Check out this preview from Raptors HQ.

Meet the new Raptors!

Since the Knicks last saw the Raptors in the preseason, Toronto sent Rudy Gay out in a big ol' trade. Get to know the new guys:

Chuck Hayes: You know how Jerry West is the silhouette in the NBA logo? Chuck is the guy in the "WALK" sign at a pedestrian crossing.

Patrick Patterson: Guess what Patrick's cat is named. No seriously, guess. Okay, it's Catrick Catterson.

John Salmons: John was alarmed to find that, even though he'd drawn each of them a tiny passport, his scorpions were not permitted to cross the border into Canada.

Greivis Vasquez: Before his arrival in Toronto, Greivis's new teammates received a list of his allergies, including: cacti, raisins, things that look like raisins, human hair, sandals, and "weird babies"

listen up andre i know these toronto rats used to be your friends. they betrayed you. i know what that's like. that happened to me back in the trenches in kathmandu in '29. they betrayed me. andy i don't want to alarm you but do you know about drones. drones. i read about them in a website. listen andrew they can fly planes with no one in them. they put the planes up over your head and they can see you and kill you. the nba gave these rats 48 hours to get you back and we can't let them do that angus. i got you this big hat. it's mine that's why there's paint on it. i used to wear it to go to the beach but they don't let me go to the beach anymore because i made a citizen's arrest on a terrorist crab. but you can have my hat so the drones can't see you from above and shoot you

you're welcome andrew

And now you're ready for the Raptors!
