each of us will post a # of games u think vince will play this season (excluding the playoffs if the raptors make it). the # of games u post would be out of a possible 82 which means out of a possible 82 regualr season games. all star games, preseason, etc. do not count. JUST regular season. plz do not post something like "around 68". post an EXACT #. when nobody posts here anymore, we will c who is right at the end of the regular season. here is my guess: 62.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">Why would he rest for one? I say he plays 67</div> For playoffs
What makes you think they will even get in the playoffs? they would be battling for 8th spot..so he couldn't afford to rest anyway...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">How do you know we wont be in first? Anything is possible.</div> i can list 7 teams that r CLEARLY better than the raptors in the east. the one other team that will make it for the eighth spot would be not be clearly better than toronto but still better. toronto will get the 10th seed in the east.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">How do you know we wont be in first? Anything is possible.</div> Because they don't have a good enough team for that to happen...Nets and Pistons are the top 2 seeds..followed by Pacers,Magic,Celtics,Sixers and hornets....(no order) All those teams are better than Raps in every way....Raps will be battling for the 8th seed....They needed a good free-agency to be in the hunt for at least a mid-table spot..but they didn't
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">How do you know we wont be in first? Anything is possible.</div> HA! Its possible for Ducan to repeat MVP..Or its possible for Tmac to repeat the scoring title. Or the rockets making the playoffs. But i cant see the raptors making the playoffs. Even if vince is heathly they dont have enough talent.
Whats so good about the pistons that makes them a lock for the top 2 seeds? Nets are way better. Who do the pistons have that makes them so great? Celtics dont have a better team. Magic are about even. Sixers are around the same to. Hornets have a great team but have a horrible coach.

A healthy Vince single handedly led a pretty bad team to the second round and almost knocked Philly out. Also, without Vince and another terrible team, they made it to the first round and were close to knocking the Pistons out. If Vince is healthy I can see the Raptors making the playoffs. I'm not being biased either, I've seen what this team can do and I think they can do it again. Last year they were terrible because of injuries to a bunch of players, most people don't know that they set an NBA record last year with most man days lost to injury.

Where shall I start? this could take all night pistons Hall of fame coach Great role players Hamilton a 20 point scorer Billups mr clutch and a big time scorer when he is on 2 time defending DPOY 2nd pick Campbell a true center Okur a good young euro player former 6th man of the year Now on to the Magic Mcgrady a top 5 player..amazing talent Howard..a true inside player..very consistant player Gooden a bright young player...future all-star Giricek good shooter Lue....a steady PG Celtics Pierce a superstar Walker you may hate him but he puts up very good all-round stats and is their leader Jones...a good role player Not that much..but they have the best duo in the east...thats enough Sixers AI,AI,AI,AI -enough said Bigdog..a 20 point scorer Kenny Thomas a good rebounder that can score Coleman-same as Thomas Snow..one of the best defensive PG's in the league Marc Jackson a good center... There is a quick recap who is better than Raptors...Asking what Pistons have that makes them so great was an interesting question....Only thing I can tell you is look at the standings the last two seasons....Raptors are not even with Magic..at all...They were better with just Mcgrady.. they add Howard..raps are not better for sure now...Sixers are better than Raptors as well....Not really close in terms of talent and players with the teams I have mentioned from Raps You need to learn that talent has changed from when the Raptors were in the playoffs..Other east teams have improved quite abit...So don't expect them to do too much
