What BBN said about it

  1. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentTonight the Raptors are trending, and the report says they could have one of the best defenses in the league, with Kawhi Leonard already making Scottie Barnes better.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTrending is when a thing goes up a hill, right? I have never once been on the internet, and I feel great.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentIt means people are searching it. Also three box scores from last night are attached, and none of them are even this game.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree box scores? So the internet saw a great defense and said, let me look at somebody else's math.

  5. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI have chased people down streets for less stonewalling than a top-ranked defense gives a point guard.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo what do I tell the people at home to type?

  7. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHashtag Denied.
