I watched most of the Leafs vs. Coyotes on Monday night. The sensation was very similar to how I felt after watching The Wire for the first time. It seems the end of the Jays season has me rather bored by mediocre hockey.
I'm hopeful the Raptors will give me something to get jazzed about. I loved their regular season last year, and this year's team is the same core with some good defensive upgrades. I'm willing to bet this year's team can even win a playoff game or two.
The Raps tip off tonight against the Pacers. Here are your 2015 Toronto Raptors:
- Anthony Bennett - PF
- Bismack Biyombo - PF/C
- DeMarre Carroll - SF
- Bruno Caboclo - PF
- DeMar DeRozan - SG/SF
- James Johnson - PF
- Cory Joseph - PG/SG
- Kyle Lowry - PG
- Patrick Patterson - PF
- Norman Powell - SG
- Lucas Nogueira - C
- Terrence Ross - SG/SF
- Luis Scola - PF/C
- Jonas Valanciunas - C
- Delon Wright - G
