Dayum!

Yeah, yeah, only two games into the season, but wow. Kawhi Leonard, still on the rebound from an injury and still finding his legs after missing almost the whole of last season, is already the best player to ever put on a Raptors uniform.

What an absolute pleasure it is watching him play. What is this team going to look like if he gets even better? And that's not even mentioning Danny Green, a starter on that championship team in San Antonio. How the heck did Masai Ujiri pull that trade off?

Did you see that Leonard-Green tandem block against the backboard near the end of the game? Wow.

If Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby continue maturing and improving, and if Delon Wright has a breakout season, this team is, well...the sky's the limit.

After the embarrassing capitulation to Cleveland in the playoffs I was prepared to write this season off and accept that the era of onwards and upwards year-on-year improvement was over, but now I'm more excited than ever.
