Hey, guess what? After being relegated to a bunch of less-than-popular time slots and channels -- 12:30pm! ESPNews! -- the Raptors will get to play a playoff game in prime time on TNT. Aren't you excited? It's what we, as Raptors fans, have always wanted.
Allow me to explain. Because the Raptors are playing in a Game 7 of their opening round series against the Indiana Pacers -- a team that eased into the playoffs as reluctantly as possible, finished the season with 45 wins and has one really good player -- they get to be the star of the NBA world for one night.
