Your not, if you had the injuries us two have, you would be in the same place as us or worse. So dont act like your the fucken Dallas Mavericks or Phoenix Suns, your not.
A completely healthy Wizards and Nets sqaud would take the Raptors in 5, maybe 6 games. You can't base the Wizards' and Nets' teamplay off of these regular season records. We've both been harrassed by the injury bug this year. Krstic is out for the entire year for NJ, and RJ has been on/off the court (that's all I know of). The Wizards missed Darius Songaila for 45 games, Antawn Jamison was hurt for 12 games, Caron Butler went down, Andray Blatche went down, Caron went down again, and then Gil tore his lateral meniscus. Wizards and Nets would have well over 45 wins by now.

Wizards were clicking before the injuries and had just reached the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Same goes for the Nets, Krstic is very valuable to the Nets lacking front-court and Richard Jefferson is versatile and valuable to the Nets. I'm not saying the Raptors don't deserve their great season and you're one of the most talented teams in the NBA, however this year if both of our teams had healthy seasons Nets/Wiz would've had better records than you.
Andrea, Bosh, Calderon, Parker and Garbo were all out at points too. Don't say we haven't had injury trouble either.

Just less then 2 weeks ago the Wizards had the number 3 slot and better record then you guys. A healthy Nets and Wizards team would beat you guys in a playoff series. I still think we have a shot and we are missing our best big man.
Wow Wiz and Nets take us in 5? I think Raptors record against the Nets is 2-2 this season, and against the Wizards is 2-1..so taking us in 5 is complete garbage..
With a 100% healthy squad, Nets and Wizards would take the Raptors in 5 or 6 games. Season series doesn't mean ANYTHING, you know every team steps up their play in the playoffs.

I believe the Raptors had Bargnani and Garbajosa out. I'd say those two are about valueable to the team as Butler is to Washington. And if anything the Raptors are pumped about the playoffs for a lot of them this will be their first time (Bosh, Calderon, Bargnani, Graham, just to name a few) so they would step up.
I still think that the Raps will end up playing the Wiz in the first round...If this matchup occurs, I would definitely take the Raptors. The Wiz are without their 2 best players, and they have nobody to stop Bosh. This would be a 4-2 series at the most...If they played the Nets, I would take the Raps in 7. Although I still think they will play the Wizards.

As of now were playing the Wizards in the first round but that can change if the Wiz keep losing and the Nets keep winning because the Nets are 2.0 games behind the Wiz for 6th with I believe 5 games left!!! That would be an intense series to watch!! And I dont think the Raps can challenge for the 2nd spot in the East, theres too little games left.
