Mitchell, who hates using the NBA schedule as an excuse, said last night following Toronto's 95-91 loss to the Cavaliers that he expects his team to play .500 once the schedule turns in Toronto's favour in the new year. The 7-11 Raptors have three more weeks of tough travel and, after that, the situation improves dramatically. WINNING ATTITUDE "We've got another road game Friday (in Chicago) one game at home, and then we go back for two (Miami and Orlando next week), and then we come home for two and then we go back out west (for four)," he said. "I think over the course of the season, if we stick to (our game plan), try to keep teams off the free throw line, out of the paint, make them shoot contested shots, I think we'll win more than we lose."</div> Source
Yea, the hype in the offseason has got me optimistic, but for now, I'm just curious on what Colangelo will do before deadline.
