In his latest blog, TSN NBA Analyst Jack Armstrong looks at the latest offseason acquisitions made the Raptors and a few other moves around the league. 1. TYLER HANSBROUGH (Raptors): Ive gotten after him about his style of play in the past quite often. Had to laugh when I heard this news. When the guy is on the opposing team you dislike his style. He was the enemy. When hes playing for the team you see all the time, you like having a guy around that has teammates backs and has no back down in his makeup. Hopefully, he plays within his limits and gives them the grit, toughness, rebounding and occasional scoring hes very capable of providing. Definitely an upgrade in the toughness category. 2. JULYAN STONE (Raptors): Will provide some solid on-ball defense and leadership at the point. Solid compete level. Offensive game is maturing and the Las Vegas Summer League will provide the coaching staff with a good insight into his needs that have to be worked on prior to training camp. 3. TORONTO RAPTORS (2015): Pretty clear to me with the signings of Stone and Hansborough and the Bargnani trade that GM Masai Ujiri is keeping all his options wide open and will use the coming weeks/months to decide what to do with the existing pieces of his roster. The bottom line is that I see a team setting its sights (based upon dollars committed past these next two seasons) on 2015 as a time when theyll have significant cap flexibility to make the moves necessary to make this a durable/successful franchise. They are in the evaluation/look and see mode with everyone still here and are in a gradual/methodical approach to team building. The journey will be long and a bit slow, but if it leads to long term franchise Success, its a pill most are willing to swallow. 4. RASHEED WALLACE (Pistons): This guy talked major junk as a player and referees werent huge fans of his. Now hes an assistant coach with Detroit. Amazing. Despite his loud demeanor, he was a quality player in his prime and a very smart one too. Hell be a fun guy to watch make the transition to the sideline, thats for sure. 5. KYLE KORVER (Hawks): Smart move by Danny Ferry getting him locked up long term. The three-point line is such a huge aspect to the NBA game and hes one of the best. He was a good fit for their team. If it aint broke, dont fix it.Caleb Swanigan Blazers Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. Damian Lillard Blazers Jersey . Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. https://www.blazerslockerroom.com/Caleb-Swanigan-City-Edition-Jersey/ . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. Anfernee Simons Jersey . Louis Cardinals. Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness. Nassir Little Jersey . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year.Chris Berman has taken his Swami Sez NFL picks segment, seen on SportsCenter, to ESPN Chalk. Each week during the NFL regular season, hell give his favorite picks against the spread here with a little further analysis.Season record: 38-18 ATS (last week: 4-1)?New York Giants at Cleveland BrownsAre the Browns really going to lose every game? Theyve played a bunch of close ones so far, but I dont think this is the week theyll get over the hump. This number isnt as high as youd think for a 7-3 team facing one thats 0-11, and the Giants are certainly susceptible to looking ahead. Luke McCown gives the Browns a chance to win, but the Giants pull another one out late as Cleveland forces them to play for 60 minutes.Score: New York Giants 23, Browns 20Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore RavensThe Ravens have lost five straight to the Bengals, and Baltimore coach John Harbaugh is on record as saying his team needs to beat Cincinnati to win the AFC North. Well, fortunate for the Ravens, this Bengals team is a little different than in years past. Baltimore needs Joe Flacco to stand up and be one of its best players, to complement a strong defense. Injuries to A.J. Green and Giovani Bernard are too much for the Bengals to overcome in this one.Score: Ravens 23, Bengals 16Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo BillsJacksonville played Detroit and Kansas City close, but sooner or later playing tough and having nothing to show for it catches up to a team. Buffalo is 5-5 and showed me something the past two weeks with the way it played in Seattle and in Cincy.dddddddddddd. The Bills have a real shot to make the playoffs, something they havent done this century (last trip was 1999). LeSean McCoy is banged up and Sammy Watkins might play sparingly, but Im not sure it matters in this one. Buffalo starts its playoff push.Score: Bills 24, Jaguars 14Carolina Panthers at Oakland RaidersCarolina is a game team and will give this its best shot, but it doesnt seem like its the Panthers year. The Panthers are running out of straws to grasp, and having Luke Kuechly (and Ryan Kalil) out for this one will really hurt. The Raiders are a first-place team and are starting to play like it. They pull another one out late at home.Score: Raiders 27, Panthers 21Kansas City Chiefs at Denver BroncosLast week was certainly a head-scratcher against Tampa Bay, as Kansas City doesnt usually lose at home?to under-.500 teams. The Chiefs need to play their best overall game of the year to win in Denver. They won there last year, so they wont be scared of the situation. Denver hasnt found its running game without C.J. Anderson, and I think the defense will be up to the task against Trevor Siemian. Justin Houston plays more of a role in this one and Kansas City wins on the road.Score: Chiefs 20, Broncos 19 ' ' '
