Bismack Biyombo is starting tonight for the Toronto Raptors in place of an injured Jonas Valanciunas, and that means big expectations. Valanciunas has been a huge part of the Raptors success this series, and Biyombo will have to find a way to replicate that with his energy. Something like…I don’t know, a poster dunk on a former All-NBA player like Amare Stoudemire. Something like that will surely do the trick.

Oh hey would you look at that! Just the type of dunk Toronto was looking for early in this road game against the Miami Heat. A win here would send Toronto back home with a commanding 3-1 series lead, and if Biyombo is dunking on players like that all night then victory feels almost guaranteed.
