In the famous words of this guy👇🏼
“IT’S TIME TO BALL, YA’LL”
This time last year, I was working multiple jobs & started looking into policing programs - my “vision”was blurred.
I don’t know who needs to hear this- but sometimes you just have to hold on. Give your 👀 a good rub or find people you ❤️ to do it for you. 🙏🏼

Remember that time (Rd 1, Game 6, @ SBA) when the Raptors season was clearly ending (blowout fashion) & “LET’S GO RAPTORS” chants rang through the place…..Ya so do I

The

“📺 booth” is a special place. 🇨🇦 is treated w/stellar voices each szn, so it was an absolute honour to jump in last night.

From memories 👀

I CANNOT wait to share 🏀 analysis & stories about the men & women who make 🇨🇦 team so remarkable!
LET’S. GO.
@Sportsnet
Scottie Barnes is the first rookie since Luka Doncic and only the 22nd rookie in NBA history to average over 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists in a season.
Every single rookie to achieve that over the last 10 seasons has won ROTY.

Man- TOR gets into these tight, close situations where they just out work, out hustle & show some major mental toughness…it’s really the best.

ARMONI WAS GETTING 🍦 WHEN HIS AGENT CALLED & TOLD HIM TO PACK HIS BAG FOR A 10-DAY.
PS - he just played vs. the 905 3 days earlier (I called the game)

@Stadium
. Deal includes partial guarantee for the 2022-23 season. The sharpshooter finds a home in Toronto after stints in Houston, scoring 20 points in last three games.

I’m currently kicking COVID’s nasty azz. I’m thankful for the privilege of access & therefore help of being fully vaxxed.

@ByJerrySullivan
Jerry you have deeply insulted so many women ( who are also great journalist) that have sat ALONGSIDE you in many WNY pressers- covering the same coaches/athletes/teams that you have… earning respect that it seems you don’t understand.
A tweet is not gonna cut it. 🤷🏼♀️
Not a baseball expert, but I think they call it “pinch hitting”?!! Thanks
@EReidMiamiHeat
& the entire team for making it as smooth as possible. Love me some

P - a champion ON the court but most prominent OFF….His impact through genuine service to the community will always be cherished and I hope he will still consider 🇨🇦 home for a long while.

BREAKING: The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a trade to acquire All-Star F Pascal Siakam in a deal that will send Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks to the Toronto Raptors. New Orleans will be a third team in deal, sending Kira Lewis to the Raptors.
Naturally, I would ask OG what his favourite thing about the state of NY is (IYKYK) but I’m mostly happy RE this next chapter for one of the coolest & most intriguing dudes I’ve had the pleasure to cover. ✌️
The Toronto Raptors are finalizing a trade to send OG Anunoby to the New York Knicks for a package including RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and draft considerations, sources tell ESPN.
3 short years ago we did something REALLY SPECIAL & as I sit here finishing up my prep for tonight (Calling an NBA game as a FULL TIME analyst) I can’t help but think how defining this day was for not only myself, but many others too! 🙏🏼 ✌️ ❤️ 🏀
Calling my 1st

Game & couldn’t be more happy that one of my bff’s happens to be here working too!!!
All I want from Santa is a Heat W 🙏🏼
Big John (my dad) has been gone for an entire month as of today. I miss him every second I’m awake- which is a lot more these days
I tweeted this 14 days before he passed w/ no conscious idea it was coming.
Sharing as a reminder to tell someone you love them today & everyday💔
I had a dream last night that Drake was just casually hangin with my Dad in our Niagara home… no idea where this came from. I woke up literally smiling.
My Dad is simply the best dude…that is all.
The morning I decided to become a Miami Hurricane…still bleeding 🟠&🟢Thrilled for what
@CanesWBB
&
@CanesHoops
just did.
OH & don’t forget : we still pregame like you party IN PARADISE ✌️❤️ 🏀 🙌🏼
Today was a great day.
A big W at home but also the best reminder on how lucky I’ve been to cross paths w/ not only A1 talent, but A1 people/friends.

More of a DC gal myself but my little bro is all Marvel so I made him this bday cake…& yes - my impatient, “craft illiterate” azz is proud!
PS fondant is not my friend.
1 yr. ago today, my dad, John, suddenly & without warning left this world. I haven’t lost him once- I’ve lost him 365 times. Not 1 single day has passed that I don’t have at least a few moments of utter heartbreak. I miss him so much. He was simply the best.
MANNNNNN my 10 year memory on FaceBook got me in my feelings this AM. Landed my 1st onAir gig — & tonight it’s HEAT @ BUCKS……
Affirmation of the day “Keep Going”.
There are people in Ukraine right now that are using their subway stations as bomb shelters.
There are people in Russia right now protesting anti war. They will pay a HEAVY PRICE.
This is what “loosing freedoms” looks like.
The
@Raptors
have been superb in regards to a “1 game at a time” mentality; & still 3 more major regular szn to go.
BUT MY LAWRD - a top 6 finish is something to be VERY proud about.
The resiliency this squad has shown this szn is next level.

🥰BIG DEAL DAY🥰
We rescued a cat at local SPCA 4 yrs ago; she didn’t come with a name or any story & was NOT in good condition.
Today is the 1st time ever Darla has jumped up & asked for pet from me!
Remember: if patience is required with new fur babies - it’s worth it.
ICYMI bc I’m seeing some uneducated comments…
This is Pat Riley’s mantra- ya know… the guy involved in 19 NBA Finals (player/coach/executive) so you may not like it but it has context… & if inclined, plz share some receipts from let’s say 6 months ago .
