Intriguing exhibition match up tonight in London between the defending NBLC Champs London Lightning and Raptors 905 of the G League. Not a big difference in talent level between the 2 leagues. Should be another exciting season with St Johns NFLD joining the league.
London downs the Raptors farm team 98-89. The little known NBLC shows that there is talent on its rosters.
Cool, without the internet, following this league is near impossible! London was able to bring back a lot of their players. The rest of the league had huge turnover, which is expected. The current Raptors 905 team has no NBA experience, that will change once pre-season is over, but good result regardless for London.Quote:

What's your Titans up to?
Funny, I met Argo57 at the Winnipeg game 2 weeks ago. I asked him how the River Lions looked this season. He had no idea what I was talking about !!! Haha. Sorry for the confusion. I recognized Armadi's name from last night. I saw Niagara changed coaches with Vassell now in London. Not sure what the Titans are up to, not much coverage as I am a London fan. Was able to get to 2 Orangeville games last season ( one Courtside seat...amazing experience) very disappointed that they folded.Quote:

Sorry, thought you followed the Titans. I've only been to London and Niagara games. Both were top notch experiences as far as Minor League goes. I've sat courtside at a few 905 games, it's a neat experience. I think Vassell is a good coach, he was only interm here anyway. I think London is going to roll over the league again this year. They kick off their season here in Niagara. Go Lions!Quote:

Season starts tomorrow on 3 fronts, including London in Niagara and KW hosting the TiCats of the league...the Express of Windsor...
Only you and I post in this thread, LOL. I wanted to hit the opener, but with the Argos game and tailgate, it’s too much. Good to hear the Niagara game is a sellout! Pretty cool.Quote:
