    Steve Kerr - "Raptors could be a sleeper"

    but he's got us finnishing 10th in the east

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">10. Toronto Raptors ? "Team Euro" could be a sleeper. Five European players dot the Raptors' roster, with Spain's world championships hero Jorge Garbajosa expected to play a major role. T.J. Ford will get a chance to be the catalyst for an uptempo offense. </div>

    key word "COULD" be a sleeper. meaning he sees them finnishing 10th, but he's not ruling out the possibility of them being a sleeper team and finnishing better

    Did you not read Premium's post? Kerr sees Raptors finishing tenth but they <u>COULD</u> be a sleeper making it to playoffs. He's not saying 10 is a sleeper he's saying thats what he projects them to be but they have a chance of being a surprise team in playoffs.

    The way things are the raps are still likely a season away from the playoffs, but they will improve from last season.

    I think its possible this year, but seeing as its a new team if everyone meshes this year and gets used to the running game then I almost gaurantee playoffs next year.
