Wednesday, May 15 ---> MT @percyallen If not for relocation, Vancouver Grizzlies would be on verge of closing out Sonics at KeyArena. That would have been fun
Fratello right for sayin that MEM being better w/o Gay isn't an indictment on Rudy. MEM built around Gasol+Zach; they gotta get touches etc
?? “@hockeyfella: says the guy who retweets incorrect info on NHL blue lines. You weren't bad pre-Jan 19th. Now you're just "sportsnet guy"
Make the bar/posts skinnier to start: “@honestabe282: I'm with you on bigger nets. Curious what you'd propose as new net size?”
-----> RT @Michael Grange The blinders worn by 'some' hockey fans and ignorance of other sports is wild.
That laugh you hear is @Charles Oakley Anthony Mason and Rick Mahorn laughing at the fact they considered that a potential flagrant foul
So some really awkward spacing by the @MiamiHEAT but they are making it work on offense. #bulls #heat #playoffs
The Jays 1st (5 runs helped by 2 errors and 2 broken-bat hits) is exhibit A for the 'it all balances out' school of baseball analysis.
Entertainment and marketing have made it even more difficult for NBA officials. Is it time to change the rules? tinyurl.com/bz28xea

Mucho jewellery: RT: @PhilJackson11 here’s the best I can do…the 2 Knick rings are in the front of the picture. http://t.co/Sqq86TzjvK
Re: Raptors declining to make decision on Colangelo today — he is in Chicago for draft camp. Awkward timing (that they could have avoided).
Seven of the eight teams remaining in the NBA have a near-perfect clarity of philosophy. Also, the Knicks are still alive.
.@BlakeMurphyODC mixes Raptors and one of the best Community episodes quite nicely here: raptorsrepublic.com/2013/05/15/rem…
I feel like the Raptors and MLSE brass are gonna wake up on Oct 1 and realize that they forgot to make a call on Colangelo’s future.
Not expecting anything definitive on Bryan Colangelo today. You can safely cut your lawn Raptors fans.
He chose 'free' in Lawrence, Kansas over multi-millions and living in Barcelona. Are you sure he's in a rush to get drafted by Charlotte?
All of my second-round predictions are still in play. Very exciting day for my ego: sports.nationalpost.com/2013/05/05/nba…
Let's all talk about the part of the third book of Game of Thrones I just read, without talking about spoilers that are only spoilers for me
Must be so weird for @Cory Joseph to be playing some minutes with Tracy McGrady, a guy he grew up watching play with Vince Carter on Raptors
Working on an upcoming story on #cultureavenue today. I'm taking a deeper look into Toronto underground rail and sewer systems. #stpatrickst
Listening to @Jarrett Jack on the podium is the best feeling ever. #speakingthetruth #warriors #competitor #floorgeneral #passion

Tuesday, May 14 I am so impressed with @Cory Joseph in the playoffs - defends; moves the ball quickly. Will be in the league a long time.
Granted, he has averaged only 2 FGA per game during this span...but ...Jason Kidd has not scored a single point in 8-straight games for NY
Again, here is my quick column on Andrew Wiggins, picking a school because there are eight months that need killing: sports.nationalpost.com/2013/05/14/don…
The man on the ground : “@GrantTraylor: Here's the story on Andrew Wiggins heading to Kansas. tinyurl.com/bwq9sj2”
And yes, I know I screwed up Beasley going to Kansas State, not Kansas. Being corrected. Thanks to all that sent it to me.
Here is my quick take on Andrew Wiggins decision. Basically, meh. sports.nationalpost.com/2013/05/14/don…
Congrats to Jonas Valanciunas for making the all rookie team. Thank you for this fun interview video.citytv.com/video/detail/2… #vmix #raptors #NBA
While we're talking Canadians, am I biased in saying @Andrew Nicholson should have been on all-rookie 2nd team over Tyler Zeller or Kyle Singler?
Raps Valanciunas on 2nd NBA all-rook team; Lillard, Davis, Beal, Waiters, Barnes on 1st. MKG, Drummond, Zeller, Singler on 2nd.
Valanciunas got 6 first-team votes. Drummond got 10, Barnes got 18 as final member of 1st team
My column on Andrew Wiggins making the first of many big choices: sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba…
Jonas Valanciunas is voted second-team all-rookie. Lillard, Beal, Davis, Waiters and Barnes are first-team.
Real upside for Wiggins family will be when Marita sells her secrets for how Mom of 6 still looks like she could rip off a low 50sec 400m
Great for Kansas on Wiggins news; school likely to earn big bucks it won't/can't share with the guy making it for them; love the NCAA
"I'm very happy and proud of his decision,” Nick Wiggins said, pointing out Lawrence is only two hours away from Wichita.
"I feel like Kansas is a great decision for Andrew. Bill Self is a great coach and a proven winner," brother Nick Wiggins told Toronto Sun.
Hopefully @22wiggins has a good year, avoids injury and controversy, and gets to the league he should be heading to this year.
Smith on Wiggins: Where will he go? - Sportsnet.ca sportsnet.ca/basketball/smi… ( he chose KANSAS. Huge boost for Jayhawk. Congrats Andrew)
Some not so bright college hoops fans attacking Wiggins now. Some went after @AB15__ when he picked UNLV, don't think they didn't notice.
Great line in Kansas City Star by Rustin Todd: Wiggins instantly becomes the highest profile Canadian at Kansas since James Naismith.
Canada's best-ever hoops prospect heading to James Naismith's old stomping grounds. Kind of fitting. #Wiggins @22wiggins
Wiggins will be close to his best friend, brother @Wiggys_WORLD15 will play for a premier coach in Bill Self, solid roster, good program
Ed & Danny Manning @Michael Grange: It will be interesting to see if Andrew's father Mitch is offered a job with KU staff; has been rumoured.
Also, for what it's worth: Kansas was the one Adidas school of the 'Final Four' ... and it might be worth a lot :)
It will be interesting to see if Andrew's father Mitch is offered a job with KU staff; has been rumoured.
Another interesting aspect to KU choice by Wiggins: most geographically removed of possible choices; he'll need to be a bit more independant
RT: @GrantTraylor Announcement at 12:09 pm that he will be going to Kansas with Bill Self and Kurtis Townsend.
Interesting choice by @22wiggins ... said that what impressed him most there was the weight room and training staff; indicates his mind set.
Very, very interesting. Given how much Nike surely will be willing to pay Wiggins, shocked he went with an Adidas school.
Kansas for Wiggins! Wow. For the record @nolanshulman suggested that as a dark horse possibility back in November.
While we wait, here was my profile of @Wiggins22 from February: sports.nationalpost.com/2013/02/18/at-…
I know this is controversial, but I am guessing that Andrew Wiggins will attend [irrelevant].
UNC makes the most sense to me for Andrew Wiggins although the World Wide Wes connection makes Kentucky a contender.
Like MANY others, I'm predicting Wiggins will announce he's heading to Florida State (given connections w/ his Mom & Dad). But who knows!
Sun's Peter Worthington: “@DavidGrann: Journalist: "If you are reading this, I am dead. How’s that for a lead?" torontosun.com/2013/05/14/pet…"
Good job trying to make sense of the insanity in Boston by @reporterchris -- sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/joh…

Monday, May 13 Hindsight: very prophetic. MT @Cmdr_Hadfield Boston: beautiful harbor city. Hope BOS/TOR play memorable game tonight http://t.co/vf3QblkGZL
