In case you didn’t notice … and its easy not to notice on a Saturday night, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 99-84 last night. The NBA Eastern Conference finals is now a 2-1 series.
Last night, we saw some finger waving and “energy” from the Raptors, specifically Bismack Biyombo. A lot of smiling and laughing. Big rebounding numbers.
Where was this Biyombo when the Raptors were getting destroyed in Games 1 & 2? From what I saw, this series was in danger of being a sweep. As far as BSP is aware, the NBA plays playoff games on both the road and at home. If this guy is going to be Mr. Smiley and Mr. Laughter in home games only, the Raptors have only two games left in their season.

I love sports. I don't love the hype, homerism, ratings talk, self-important egomaniacs, bias or any of the other nonsense you get with the national media. Nor will you get the two clowns on sports talk radio who stage phony arguments. It doesn't make it entertaining. It makes it time to turn on your iPod and jam instead of listening to white noise generators.
This is the sports blog for you, the ones who don't like everything Los Angeles or New York. Just because the sporting media is based there doesn't mean we have to like their teams. We do treat them fairly, though. That means if one of those cities has an average QB who plays particularly well...we'll note it. If they're garbage, we'll say so. Instead of crying "why, why, why" like a certain sports media homer did in his radio broadcast.
This isn't my job...I have a real one. Nevertheless, I'll post here when I make an observation. Common sense in sports is nearly dead. Now we're attempting to bring it back.
