Saturday April 28 2012 – 4:14pm Eastern – Toronto, ON

I’m a little late in getting this in (1 game is already in the books and another is approaching halftime) … but I have Twitter proof that my picks were made BEFORE the post-season began … so this breakdown will simply serve as a more detailed report of my prognostications!

Tuesday April 24 2012 – 2:08am Eastern – Toronto, ON

Tank Nation goes to bed happy …

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble …

In what can only be described as an ‘epic battle’ (ummm?) … the Raptors lost by 3 to the Pistons … and here’s how a yellow-tinged Paul Jones and I broke it down when we landed in Milwaukee:

Saturday April 21 2012 – 3:20pm Eastern – Birmingham, Michigan

It seems like the Raptors played about a week ago; 3 days off in between games simply doesn’t happen during this lockout-shortened season!

But as the year winds down, Toronto has had a chance to rest and recover as they get set for the Pistons on Sunday evening.

For more on Dwane Casey and Co. … check out the latest #SmithAndJones VLOG:

We’ll be on the air at 6pm tomorrow night.

Have a good one folks.

Wednesday April 18 2012 – 11:14pm Eastern – Toronto, ON

That was a 2nd half to forget!

No Bosh … no Wade … No problem!

Miami took advantage of an undermanned Raptors squad (Calderon, Kleiza, Bargnani, Bayless) and wiped out a close 1st half with a DOMINANT 2nd half.

Back home in a HURRY thanks to our ‘Kobe Bryant’ of pilots, Captain Murray!

A big shout-out to our cameraman for this #SmithAndJones VLOG (the man you heard say “go” at the beginning, haha) … Associate Producer of the Raptors television broadcasts, Chris Phillips.

After winning wire-to-wire tonight … we’ll see if Toronto can repeat that performance when they see the Hawks again on Monday night at the ACC.  Jonesy and I will be on the air at 7pm.

Have a good one
