Hey Fanatics...we're north of the border on the Great Lakes tour - Erie to Ontario to Superior, with Minnesota waiting on Friday.

This will be a tough one because I think the Raptors will be back in the playoffs. The addition of Hedo Turkoglu and Jarrett Jack will be impactful, in all, there are 9 new Raptors, so they may need a little time to find some chemistry.

Shaq and Bosh will be one of the matchups to watch of course. The last time they faced each other, Shaq lit up the Raps for 45 big ones, on 20 of 25 shooting. Bosh complained that night, that Shaq was able to camp in the lane for an eternity, and Shaq then shot back saying the man they call CB4 is the RuPaul of big men. I would imagine most is forgotten now, but this time, Bosh will see the Big Witness Protection, along side LeBron.

Remember, this is where Bosh's cousin was bending LBJ's ear courtside during a Cavs dramatic comeback two seasons ago in a January matinee. He scored 24 in the 4th, and told the female fan she shouldn't have motivated him with the verbal taunts.

See you tonight on the broadcast on Fox Sports Ohio, beginning at 6:30 p.m.!!
