Missed the game, what did they do?
On the improbable possibility of getting Monta Ellis

I was at the game...They had an autograph signing before the game and sometime in the middle they had a bunch of clips up with music and he stood up from his courtside seat to get a standing O.

They also honoured Boogie to some extent, showing a mix of him and he got a standing O.
Predictions:
Bosh plays the best season of his life
Bargs and jose both have a great season
Raptors win 52 games n get to 2nd round
DD will be an all-star (not 09/10)

They're retiring the numbers of all of our second round team from the early 00's.

Ok, not really. That'd go down as the most pathetic number retirings in sports history.

All this talk about honouring players, and them not even getting a plaque or tangible award ? So its just a standing O and highlight reel ?

I'm a HUGE Oakley fan (he was easily my second favourite guy on those early decade raps teams after Vince), but they had him doing commentary for a little too long... it was hard to make out a lot of what he was saying without cranking the volume... I don't think he's cut out for doing voice work.

Only Oak can get honoured by a team and have him completely rip the team that is honouring him in the media and during the game LMAO

Did he rip the team? I honestly couldn't understand about 60% of the words coming out of his mouth (I was watching the game on my PVR at 4 am and couldn't crank the volume too high).
