For those who dont know I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE sports fan and I specifically have a serious jonesing for basketball. So I am beyond excited that the season has started again. Tonight was the Raptors season opener hosting the formidable Caveliers with an all star line-up that includes the almost champion Lebron James, Anthony Parker and Big Man Shaq(no last name needed).
But when push came to shove the Raptors made quite an impression on their beleaguered fans by dominating the game from start to finish, including an impressive 20point lead going into the third quarter even though it disappeared in less than 2minutes. Ending the game with the 10pt lead (101-91), this will definitely serve as notice to other teams that coach Jay Triano is creating a team mentality that ensures that the Raptors are in it for the long haul. Lets see how the season shapes up.
Congrats Raptors, better luck next time to the Cavs
