Watched the 2015 sweep again and good lord was the defensive trio of Ross/Vasquez/Lou utter trash.. VV, Delon, OG and Powell taking turns against Wall/Beal is an enormous upgrade that can't be overlooked

We may be the 8️⃣ seed. But this is the playoffs, and we're a dangerous, experienced @WashWizards team. My blog on facing the @Raptors. #WizRaptors #DCFamily https://t.co/LIFLmKHWyZ

Classic Wiz...he takes a big chunk to talk about how it was great how everybody got better when Wall was out (even people who weren't getting his PG time) and then says oh yeah, it's great to have him back too.

Well, I live east of Peterborough, in a lightly populated area where every power line is surrounded by trees. With an ice storm on the way, that's like having a big red bulls eye on your back. If we don't lose power by 5:30, both my TV and internet satellite receivers will be so coated with ice I won't be able to get any signal. By 6:00 Pm I will be up a shaky ladder with a squirt bottle of hot water in my hand trying to melt the half inch of ice off the apparatus. If things settle down by 7:00, I should be able to catch the end of the game. Whatever. I don't need to watch the game to know the Raps got this. I'll catch it later on the replay.

Everyone in the path of this storm, stay safe and take care.

In the past we've lived and died on the free throw line. Once we hit the playoffs the refs swallowed their whistles and our team got frustrated and played like crap. This year their offence does not rely on the charity stripe as much. Hopefully that can also be a major asset this year. I hope we start the series off playing super physical. Hit hard and hit first. We're deep, use the fouls but also get under their skin. Hopefully Norm becomes our Lance Stephenson (more or less)

Game day. Freaking game day.

This pleases me.

You still have time to get to civilization. But you have to leave now

If the Raptors play like a team, this will be a laugher.

Lol it's just great to see how much better the team has gotten (both personnel and playstyle). Plus I'm even more hyped to see the Wizards get crushed
