We have officially equaled our win total from last year. And this is before the all star break. Here's to being a much better team. And here's to having a much better GM to put us in a position to be a much better team... :beerchug:
Our next 3 games before the NBA enters the All-Star break is really gonna be a test for the Raptors. We play 3 Eastern Conference teams in Detriot (soo much fire power), Chicago (they've had our number for how much consecutive games?) and New Jersey ( Dont look past their record this has the potential of a nail bitter).
I'm one of the few people who actually had the Raptors making the playoffs this season. I was skeptical in Sepetember but I watched a few preseason games and thought they looked good, not that those games make a difference, I just had a feeling. Toronto has been impressing me all season long, they had a solid record without Chris Bosh for those 12 games he missed earlier in the year. The only concern I have about the Raptors is the fact that they haven't beaten many elite teams so far. They are only 6-13 against teams with a winning record, that's not overly impressive but when you take into consideration that they 4-0 against Washington and Orlando, then you might get something out of it.
Hey Cb4 Remember this:?[quote name='RaptorFan#1' post='147729' date='Aug 29 2006, 07:14 PM']Buy. Im thinking 15. Hes is numba one pick memba guys....Buy/Sell: Raps make 5th seed.[/quote][quote name='CB4AllStar' post='147731' date='Aug 29 2006, 07:16 PM']Bargnani wont get 15. What does he being the #1 pick have to do with anything? He sint nearly as strong as the guys out there, he isnt used to the USA game, and he has no post game.Raps make 5th seed? You should be banned for that comment imo.Anthony Parker will end up starting more games than Fred Jones.[/quote][quote name='RaptorFan#1' post='147735' date='Aug 29 2006, 07:18 PM']Its buy or sell.. I wasnt expecting a buy or nothing isnt the point of the game to find out peoples opionions.Colangelo knows what he is doin....u dont waste a number 1 to onyl get 10 ppg.btw im holdin u out on that , if they make 5th u wear a sig sayin RaptorFan#1 rules alright [/quote] [quote name='CB4AllStar' post='147740' date='Aug 29 2006, 07:30 PM']Your points are ridiculous. COlangelo got Bargnani because of his tremendous upside, and potential to become one of the best offensive players in the League. That doesn't mean that he will be a 15 ppg scorer right off the bat. He isn't even developed as an NBA player now.Example: Dirk Nowitzki only averaged 8 ppg in his first year coming over from Germany to the NBA. But now he is averaging almost 27 ppg and 22 ppg for his career.[/quote]Good Times :dribble:
Yeah, this is great. If the Raps manage to win the next three games, then it'll surprise everybody, they'll have a 30-23 record, it'll make it even more tough for New Jersey to have a chance of taking the divison, it'll boost up the Raptors confidence, and they'll come in to the All star game with an awesome record.

You were one of the doubters in the off-season. The only non-Raptor fans here that predicted the Raptors making the playoffs were PJcolpitts and Melo061....
