I'm not going to bother to preview tonight's Raptors-Cavs game because we all know it's going to be a curb-stomping. The Cavs haven't lost in 11 home games this season — the Raptors aren't going to break that string. I will say that Joey Graham should start in place of Andrea Bargnani because he's earned it with his recent play and I'm not looking forward to Bargnani trying to guard LeBron James.

I say it a lot, but Michael Grange is that dude. He debuted his "Ask Hump!" feature today in his blog, and not only did he let me set the title, he also included my question. I think we can all agree that Grange does not deserve to rot in the depths of some very hot and uncomfortable place.
Doug Smith ranks "The Five Most Fake Loud Arenas In The NBA".
Jay Triano ran an interesting drill in practice yesterday — a version of "tag" where players have to dribble while chasing the guy who's "it".
Dave Feschuk reports that Triano's "pack the paint" defensive philosophy is inspired by ex-Raptors coach Kevin O'Neill.
Jeff Blair writes that Triano thinks the Raptors are "not yet physically ready to play the kind of game he and, by extension, Colangelo want."
This week's Court Surfing Sweet 16 power poll is up. Needless to say, the Raptors are out.
DallasBasketball.com wonders if Dirk Nowitzki is the NBA MVP so far. There's a guy we'll be watching tonight who probably would have something to say about that.
3 Shades of Blue already posted the joke I was going to make about Darko ripping his jersey in half, so I'll link to him instead of Youtube.
I will link to this video on Youtube, however: Nene dunks on three straight possessions against the Kings.
I'm not sure it's better than Tim Duncan returning a pair of pants but Gourmet Spud's Kevin Garnett orders a sub is still pretty fantastic. "You picked a bad time to be a meatball sub, meatball sub! A baaaaaad time to be a meatball sub..."
