The Toronto Raptors

^^ That's about one million times better, yes. Consider it done.

People are seriously pumpified about the Raptors trading for Serge Ibaka. They have been on a major slide dropping from the #2 seed in the east down to the 4/5 region.

But as soon as people heard about Ibaka, they were listing Raptors - in ink - back as the #2 seed - with a real shot at Cleveland.

It's good, it's goods. The actual #2 seed - Celtics - are hot as hell and might have something to say about things. Washington and Atlanta look pretty good and are probably not willing to just concede a playoff series against the Raps who, people round here are conveniently forgetting, have been historically bad in the playoffs - before finally breaking through to the Eastern conference final last year - by virtue of two barely-scraped-by series wins against low ranked teams.

And I believe Lebron James does still exist.

But it's good.

The Raps were back to being the Huskies last night. That is still lookin' good to me.

And now the Raps pick up PJ Tucker.

Season resumes tonight with the Raps having sunk to the 4th seed. Gotta get it goin'. Get climbin'.

With meaningful contributions from the two newcomers, the Raptors defeated the Boston Celtics, current holders of the #2 seed in the east which We The North consider our rightful property.
