Raptors winning tonight will make a lot of people happy!

[Blayne W]

Very nice coin Steve.  As I have mentioned I do have a soft spot for animal coins.....and yes the Raptors winning tonight would be amazing.

[Steve P]

Thanks for the coin-comments guys

 

Ummm, but sadly the Raptors came-up a bit shy in last night's game, eh? (*rats*) ...

=> hopefully they'll have a better outcome on Thursday (knock-on-wood)

Too bad for Durant (I ruptured my Achilles when I was in my 30's and it took several months before I could even walk properly and over a year before I trusted doing anything athletic)
