The commute and at night – that’s when ideas hit me. Some don’t work out so well (see the Thunderous Contest Failure), but some do.

So I was thinking of a way to track and blog about the Raptors this season without committing a whole lot of time to researching and watching games, as I might if I were to do game recaps. Why not, then, focus on one particular player, a Pete Marasmitch mascot? The best candidate in my mind is Roko Ukic. Why?

1. He’s a six-foot-five guard, like Maravich.
2. He won’t play too many minutes, so my Roko Ratings will fill a niche.
3. He won’t play too many minutes, so it will be less work for me.

What will be in the Roko Ratings?

• the game results
• his line
• any observations from the internets
• my response to any commentary from aforementioned internets
• my opinions and/or highlights of his play
• maybe a photo
• some kind of rating – an overall “score” of how he did that night

I think I’ll run with this and see how long I can sustain it.
