    It just gets better and better for division-winning Raps, who even without their vital glue guy (Garbajosa) can still move up to the No. 2 seed after running over Bulls.</div>

    Wow... Who would've thought at the beginning of the season, what a season. The Raptors are going to be a very scary team for a long time.

    We have been doing well but 5th is a bit high I'd think. I'd have a hard time placing us above teams like Huston and Utah. Our form has been quite good as of late however.

    Well the NBA Power Rankings are based on how teams have been doing lately, not how they're overall performance throughout the entire season. So Raptors would be around 5th, winning 8 of their last 10.

    It's a combination of how teams are doing recently and how they've performed so far this season. There's no point in having a ranking if they're going to base it solely on how teams have done overall as they can just go by the standings to make the rankings.

    The way the Raptors have been playing lately, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we beat Houston or Utah. Dallas, Phoenix, and San Antonio are in a league of their own.

    That's basically the same point I was trying to make to a13x. But yeah, I don't think its crazy to have us ahead of Houston or Utah. We're 8-2 our last 10 games second only to the Spurs 9-1 the last 10.

    I just found out that Bosh has scored double digits in every game this season.

    Toronto has the 4th best record in the league since January I believe. We deserve to be that high IMO
