Patrick Patterson has an odd business idea for Dragon's Den - The Pee Case

Before the start of the season, Sportsnet put together multiple "Know Your Raptor" video pieces where they asked different Raptors players a series of random questions. For the Patrick Patterson "Know Your Raptor", they asked him some preference questions (Clubhouse or BLT), his thoughts on Slamball, who he thought was the best dancer on the team but when they asked him about an idea for Dragon's Den (the Canadian version of Shark Tank), 2Pat had a very odd business idea.

Money In The Bank, Raptors Lou Williams Beats The Shot Clock against the Hawks

The depth on the Raptors bench has definitely been a key factor in the Raptors 13-2 start to the season. With guys like Patrick Patterson, Greivis Vasquez, James Johnson, Chuck Hayes and Lou Williams on the second unit, this Raptors team has one of the deepest benches in the league.

The Eastern Conference Player of the Week, Lou Williams has been an instant offensive spark off the bench and can hit the big shot when he needs to. When the third quarter started to wind down against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, Lou-Will did what he does best and hits jumpers at the buzzer.

Terrence Ross had 13 points on the night including this sweet reverse slam in the second quarter with the assist from Chuck Hayes.

Vince Carter Tears Up at Video Tribute

It was Vince Carter tribute night at the ACC on Wednesday, but that didn't stop the Raptors from pulling out an impressive 96-92 win over the Memphis Grizzlies and improving to 9-2 on the season and 7-1 at home.

The Toronto Raptors honoured VC during a first quarter timeout where a sold out Air Canada Centre stood up on their feet to honour VC, who normally receives a reign of boos and "VC Sucks" chants each time he returns to Toronto. It was a tasteful video tribute which brought out a few tears from the former Raptor. Carter finished with 7 pts on the night.

It was an ugly win, but it was a win. The Raptors got it together in the fourth quarter and defeated the Orlando Magic 104-100 in a game that was televised nationally in the US on NBA TV. Raptors moved to 7-1 on the season after the win. After the game, Kyle Lowry snuck in on Patrick Patterson's postgame interview. I gotta say, it was a little creepy.

I have to admit, I'm not used to watching Toronto Raptors blowout wins so tonight was a special treat. The Raptors improved to 6-1 on the season with a 120-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night. With a just few minutes to play in the final quarter and the game in hand, the Raptors James Johnson threw down a nasty posterization dunk on the Sixers Brandon Davies.
