<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (RaptorFan#1 @ Aug 29 2006, 08:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I agree with you on the nets first, but im still betting the raptors will get 2nd in this division. Their bench is rock solid. We dont have an impact or rellly rellly good player, but i think we have a lot "little things turn into big things" people. Yes we dont have a paul pierce or ai...but what abt chris bosh? u saw him on the USA team, hes improved dramatically and will continue too?question: if you guys dont think raptors wont make 2nd in the dvision will they make the playoffs as the 8th or if were dam lucky 7th seed???Boston Celtics: i agree with you 100 percent paul pierce is on of the best underrated players in the league. but Boston lacks a solid bench. No1 not even Kobe (including Chris Bosh last year mind you) could do it without at least 1 sufficient player to help around. Not even MJ himself. 1 man is not a enough force to deal witht he rest of the division.Sixers Fans: i also agree with you one hundred percent ai has been giving 100 percent for at least the last 5 years. but think abt it......he keeps giving it one hundred but no results, at this point hes probably considering the rest of his career dont ya think???Knicks fans: enuff said abt Isiah Thomas's crew. I think 5th theyll finish.Nj Fans: Sry lol abt the Thomas Jefferson... i watching ali G lol anyways, yea VC is an all star. but not Kidd, or Jefferson.... As i can see they both failed to make it last year, and i was right to say they need to make a bang.and for those of u who think VC is an all star/superstar and CB4 is not:<u>2005-06Statistics </u> Vince Carter PPG 24.2 RPG 5.80 APG 4.3 EFF + 21.00 Chris Bosh PPG 22.5 RPG 9.20 APG 2.6 EFF + 24.67 Who made the real differance??</div>i don't get how toronto has such a good bench, but boston's is bad. Boston's bench is actually better than toronto's. rajon rondo, sebastian telfair, tony allen, gerald green, al jefferson, theo/perk out does calderon, graham/jones, bargnani. Are you saying MJ with the current boston celtics minus pierce could not when the atlantic division, arguably the worst division in basketball? hahaha, i won't even respond to that one. and regardless of that, do you think Bosh/Peterson is better than Pierce/Wally? not even close.

Those 4 players dont even play the same position half the time.Besides half of the players we are comparing are rookies or have yet to improve themselves. I think its better to wait and see the results of the upcming season.
