Good things happening for Donnie Tyndall. His team, Toronto Raptors 905, has advanced to the NBA D-League finals against the Houston Rockets Rio Grande Valley Vipers. There are 22 teams in the NBA D-League. Best 2 of 3 begins at 8 PM Sunday on ESPNU.

Coach Jerry Stackhouse was named COY and if he gets a NBA head coach call up then DT will probably go right along with him. The guy can coach.

7'3", 265# Edy Tavares was the D-League defensive POY and was called up on April 12 by the Cleveland Cavaliers joining LeBron James. Evidently any NBA team can call up a D-League player. Interesting. Could be some compensation to the Raptors there. Don't know.

The Raptors905 NBA Development League Team won the 22 team league Championship, rings and all. I thought it was interesting that one announcer said during the broadcast that the Vipers could not tell if the Raptors were playing man or zone. If you remember Tyndall's year at Tennessee, the Tyndall Terror defense developed by him allowed his team to vastly exceed expectations with only 4 returning players from the year before.
