I can’t be sure that you watched the Raptors game this week, however, I am very confident that you heard about it! Hard to ignore right? Feeling so proud to be Canadian! The last 0.9 second was the longest nail-biting-I’m-gonna-pass-out moment! And how about the time we waited for the referees to make their call? Endless! There […]
