1. “DatGuypro” is without a doubt today’s greatest YouTube filmmaker. There, I said it. [YouTube]

2. What more Melas in your life? Then check out his Raps season preview over at About.com. A small taste: “The Raptors do not have an MIP [Most Important Player]. They showed last year that they can play for stretches no matter who is in the lineup. Ford was unstoppable as Toronto went 6-6 while Bosh was out. Calderon stepped up in Ford’s absence. … The key to this team is that they likely have the most depth in the Eastern Conference and no one really needs to play heavy minutes.” [About.com]

3. Chris Kaman and Scot Pollard are … The Cavemen. [The Blowtorch]

4. Grange reports that ESPN numbot John Hollinger is “getting KILLED by the Raps fans” for pegging Toronto to finish 39-43 and ninth in the Eastern Conference this season. Good. [From Deep]

5. Ziller’s latest helping of NBA Festivus cheer. [Ballhype]

    Hollinger has similarly tweaked Warriors fans by putting us at 9th in the West, labeling our italian rookie a guarenteed bust and claiming our coach doesn’t think we can make the playoffs this year. I’d show my ass often if one of the main aspects of my job was to make predictions constantly but the guy really does seem toolish.

    Hollinger should stick to figuring things out once they’ve happened and not made predictions on player potential. Stay at the stats geek table in the lunchroom Johnny.

    ‘Stupid Gate’ is the funniest video you’ve ever linked to. By far. I am not hyperbolizing.
