Today's UPDATES

Oops, they did it Again. The Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated the Toronto Raptors from the NBA Playoffs in what was a game of home court dominance. Max Sports is reporting that the Cavs are headed for their Forth straight Eastern Conference Finals and Eight Overall in Franchise History, while the Raptors have to head back top the drawing board this summer. It seems like the Cavaliers always have the Raptors' numbers when it comes to the playoffs and this was the third straight year in a row that they failed to beat them and LeBron James in a series. The King was All In on last night's Game Four victory, having another Double-Double in his playoff career, and he waits to see if his next opponents will either be the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers. It's likely going to be the former of the two because despite the Sixers staving off elimination last night in their Game 4, the Sixers still face a serious challenge against the Cletics, on the other hand, the Celtics need only one win to get back to the East Finals for a rematch against the Cavs. Tonight, the Western Conference Finals could very well be decided if the Houston Rockets can beat the Utah Jazz on their home court, the same thing goes for the Golden State Warriors who can wrap things with the New Orleans Pelicans. In shorter sports news, three NHL teams have made it to the Stanley Cup Conference Finals and they are Tampa Bay, Washington and Vegas, the last spot will be decided Thursday in a gigantic Game 7 between the Jets and Predators. WWE has planted the seeds for its next pay-per-view next month, Money In The Bank, and there will be two ladder matches in which men and women of both of Raw and SmackDown will have an opportunity at winning a championship match contract. Get everything you need know about last night's events down below.

Yesterday, we spoke of how Disney California Adventure will open Pixar Pier on June 23rd, right before Toy Story Land opens at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida on June 30th. I believe that Disneyland fans will have something else to look forward the day before Pixar Pier is revealed, on June 22nd is the Season Two release of the Netflix original series Marvel's Luke Cage. The man with unbreakable skin is back at it again and is now a public hero of Harlem, New York, but from the looks of the new trailer that popped out yesterday, Luke may have met his "equally invulnerable" match when a new strong man shows up on the scene. But some are saying that character that really stole the show in the new trailer was Misty Knight who is sporting her new bionic arm at last. The Harlem detective showed off the new hardware like a boss and I cannot wait to what other surprises this new season has to offer. This entire #TwitterTrend is dedicated to Luke Cage in all of his fame and glory and absolute power and strength.

Luke Cage @LukeCage

You want to test me? You know where to find me.

Mr. Sinister @RyanPagella

That's right -- It's MISTY KNIGHT. #LukeCage

Angélique Roché @AngeliqueRoche

Simone Missick @SimoneMissick

The Black Gambit @Cybersoulja

Bushmaster is no Cottonmouth, but he's a way better villain than Diamondback. Luke Cage season 2 about to be lit.

Rachel @pearsvns

Misty Knight coming to snatch my wig in season 2 of Luke Cage

Muhammad Butt @muhammadbutt

but hey whatever MISTY KNIGHT GOT HER BIONIC ARM! SHIT IS GOIN' DOWN!

arianne @invincibIestark

i truly am most excited to see miss misty knight this season she has the permission to kick my ass thanks for listening

Rachel @pearsvns

I’m ready for Misty Knight to end me thanks.

Mickeysei @Mickeysei34

That Luke Cage season 2 trailer looks real good, but after Iron Fist and Jessica Jones season 2, I’m a little cautious about it. Hopefully this lands on the Daredevil S1 and JJ S1 side rather than the Iron Fist and JJ S2 side.

joe. @NeoRaven

I think Misty Knight should be Iron Fist now that she has an iron fist

Aha. @ahagazelle

Luke Cage season 2 looks waaaaay harder than season 1.

Innocent Scams,Parsley&$2.89 @SoloChills

To be honest I'd be more excited for a Misty Knight series

Markeia McCarty @markeiamccarty

The music, villain Woodard, bionic arm Misty? Yes yes & YAS

*clears the June 22nd weekend for that Luke Cage binge*

When it comes to new trailer, you can always bet that there someone or some people who are going to react to it. The Luke Cage Season Two trailer is no exception, over a ton of Marvel Fans watched it online and they all had the same feeling as I did when I saw it yesterday, which is: ABSOLUTELY PUMPED FOR MORE LUKE CAGE. You can also bet that today's Web Choice playlist showcases the best reaction of the new trailer and by judging the looks of each face, it looks better than the one for the first season. It is also quite obviously that they are totally and complete pumped about one of their favorite heroes on Netflix, who does not like the word "Hero" let alone fancy himself off as one.
