As the Raptors head into game 2 tonight I am forced to wonder if their performance would be enhanced by the power of coffee. Not just any coffee, but Mercury coffee. I can see Bargnani sipping on a cappuccino, or Chris Bosh downing a single shot mocha right before a game. I can't see Sam Mitchell getting too amped up before the game just cuz he'll already be on edge, but on his off days he'll be drinking Lactose-Free Lattes. Caffine is, after all, a LEGAL performance enhancing drug. I would totally volunteer to be their road-barista. I would scout out the best quality shops across North America before every game just in time to see the fruits of my labour transformed into alley-oop dunks. if only. Go Raptors!
