Raptors Reborn

This Friday , the Toronto Raptors reached a new milestone . They clinched the Atlantic Division title. First the Raps beat the 76ers , 94-85 . Later that night , the Raptors got some help from the Chicago Bulls who beat the New Jersey Nets . How did the Raptors got the news ? The bearer of the good news was the pilot of the plane that took the Raptors back to Toronto after the game said the Raptors radio guy , Eric Smith . Then Eric asked Jack Armstrong whether he joined in the celebration . I am asleep when the announcement was made . I was briefly awakened by the applause then fell asleep again ' answered the Raptors TV basketball Analyst . Not all Raptors are extra excited about winning the Atlantic Division. Jose Calderon said ' That is only the Atlantic , I am a World Champion '. Jose's Spanish team won the World Basketball Championship last summer. Senor que es humbug !
A day after , more good news courtesy of the Chicago Bulls when the Raptors tamed the Bulls , 103-89. Anthony Parker shot the lights out with 27 big points making 6 out of 10 in the 3 point area. The game was over in the 3rd quarter when the Raps gave their opponents the equivalent of points diarrhea . Continuous barrage of points without let up. Don't you love those Bulls ? No bullshit. But wait , the Raptors might meet the Bulls come the playoffs . The Bulls TV guy said so. Don't worry. The Raps are not the same team the Bulls beat non stop for like 2 years straight. They are really a different team now. BC (Brian Colangelo) made a miracle by raising the Raptors from the dead . Another B.C. was not as lucky. B.C. , the comic strip , lost its creator , Johnny Hart , yesterday. Too bad , B.C . the General Manager , can't draw comics . But his team continues to draw big crowd now to Air Canada Center !
