iversonfan268 has made some excellent points. As much as I like the Chicago Bulls I have to stay realistic and admit that I think they'll lose to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Raptors have been terrible on defense and will be the worst defensive team in the league next year because all they've done this offseason was bring in a playmaker in T.J. Ford but they lost one their most valuable players in Charlie Villanueva trading for Ford. They haven't improved nearly as much as teams like the Bulls,Celtics,Pacers, and the Mavericks have.

Those are the additions retard. I never said they will make the Raptors a playoff team.Who does your Sixers team have. 76ers might not even make the playoffs.
Kris Humphries- No playoff experience and he hasn't done anything in this league and when you get traded for Rafael Araujo you probably aren't the great addition.Jorge Garbajosa- The only player I see helping this team from all of the additions in the front court. I think he'll be successful because he can help a team and he's been a winner everywhere he's played.Rasho Nesterovic-Don't even ask.Andrea Bargnani-He's a couple years away from being a starter in this league and I don't see him contributing or playing much next season because he's inexperienced and he isn't ready for the NBA.

Also wtf do the Sixers have to do with this? Where was I talking about the Sixers making the playoffs this season. I don't even thnik they will make the playoffs. You see I actually do know a lot about my favorite team and I know that we have a lot of holes and problems with are management and roster. I'm not just biased like you thinking we will easily make the playoffs. I think you just don't have any real reasons for thinking the Raptors are a playoff team so you brought the Sixers into this for some weird reason as a defense.
Ok. Just because they dont have experience, they will get some this year in the playoffs when they make it.Who do the Sixers have in the front court other than Webber. (Bosh is better than Webber)

I'm not a 76'ers fan but I think that he'll have a break out season and he'll put up great numbers on the defensive end and will finish in the top five in blocks and top ten in rebounds per game next season.Tell me if I'm wrong, but can't Rodney Carney also play some minutes at power forward because he's athletic and he's got a strong upper body?

Defense is their biggest problem and they have none of it. Defense and leadership is what will still make them a bad team. Also once again wtf are you doing? Why do youkeep bringing the Sixers into this? It has nothing to do with this debate and once again I think the Sixers will suck this season. What's the point of bringing up the Sixers in this? Once again you don't have any actual good reasons for thinking the Raptors will make the playoffs so you are probably bringing up the Sixers to change the subject. They will get some experience in the playoffs this season? Once again another plain stupid statement. Are you ever going to tell me how they are now good enough to get in the plaoffs or am I right and you just have no real reason for thinking so.

Why would you bring them up into this when they have nothing to do with the debate? Oh yeah you still haven't made any good points why the Raptors will make the playoffs. Give up?

I think they are a bad team with horrible management. Why do you keep bringing the Sixers into this? They have nothing to dow ith this at all.Once again your just proving my point that you have no actual good reason for thinking the Raptors will be a playoff team. Back up your reasons for once. I thought you said you watched that video in the intro forum.
- I can see why the Suns are this high, Amare will be back, They signed Marcus Banks.- Hornets are too low.-Grizzlies are too high- Celtis are too low.
Too much bickering over one man's opinion on how the NBA is ranked according to him. I never got the point of rankings, it means jack squat when it comes down to it. Especially when it comes from BSPN.
