How about that for a game of Basketed Ball?

Demar DeRozan silenced his critics!

And the franchise went from being Quizno's for 3 quarters to Subway in the final quarter!

Much better than Based Ball and Iced Hockey.

Might even head to Hooters for game 6 on Friday

Good grief James. At least netball has some merit in the players. You'd have to be a totally metrosexual tattoo fanatic to like shopping-basket-ball.

Raptors would have beaten them with a golden basket in extra time! Exciting final period. When that one fellow "slam dunked" the ball to make it 92 each was a pivotal moment. Like when that fella in based ball did the bat flip.

Is there a netball team in "the six". That is what "Drake" captain of the Raptors calls it after all.

that other chap, the tall one, he seems to be pretty good too. And the other fellow, the other tall one, he's not bad either. But neither of them seem to be as good as the one who isn't quite so tall - in fact, he's a bit shorter than me. Which is not to say that I could throw a ball into a string bag on a lamppost in quite the same manner...

I've noticed that the basketball folks don't seem to grow beards in the post-season (well, apart from those who have hipster beards anyway). Is this a deliberate slight to the hockeyists or is it just that the, um, differently complected demographic amongst basketballists makes it a more unrealistic proposition to grow a noticeable beard before being eliminated from the playoffs?

Let's be honest.

There are more cradle Canadians in the NHL.

The beard is a terrible idea.

The correlation between terrible ideas and cradle Canadians is rather infamous.

That is my hypothesis and I'm sticking with it.

I noticed that Sidney Crosby has finally managed to grow a beard, at the age of 40.
