Philly and Toronto are going to be trendy picks to beat the C’s this year. And don’t be surprised if the national media bias against the Celtics resurfaces come October. It’s way too early for predictions, but I expect the Celtics to coast to near 60 wins and another appearance in the Finals.
Brittany Basner needs Raptors fans to put their hands to work and vote her into the final spot as a team dancer.
She auditioned for the Irish Spring Raptors Dance Pak back in July. Out of 85 girls, the competition has been narrowed down to five.
Fans will decide who gets the final spot, by voting online.
“If I won, it would fulfill a lifelong dream. I’ve wanted to be a performer and to be at the Air Canada Centre would be amazing,” said Basner.
With the addition of rookie center JaVale McGee and all of the regulars re-signed and ready to go, a healthy Washington Wizards could certainly go far in the East next year. The wild card, as I see it, will be the newly-tuned Toronto Raptors, now equipped with the tandem of Jermaine O’Neal and Chris Bosh. Although, the Wizards did beat the Raptors 3-1 in their season split last season.
6 Toronto Raptors 45 37 .549 41 41 .500
Jermaine O’Neal has missed 122 games in four seasons, while T.J. Ford has missed 130, and each player helped wreck his previous team’s chemistry. So the Raptors can only hope their new center puts his problems and sore knee behind him long enough to provide relief for Chris Bosh.
