I think this is in the wrong forum, but damn my raptors are tearing it up out there. I expected better from NY and Boston though. NJ and Philly's are okay but NY should be higher than that.
I wonder if the Raptors can keep it up. That would be wierd if they did wow what a turn around For the Atlantic i thought Philly could do it but 1-2 is bad So now i think toronto at 3-0 but i jsut dont see them holding up through the season. Good Luck all your Raptor Fans

Good Luck all your Raptor Fans</div> Trust me, Sam Mitchell is a smart coach. He might not be the best x and o coach, but he knows that team chemistry will get it done. Hes making this raptor team the best they can be, and hes not wearing out guys like Donyell Marshall and Jalen Rose. Everyone is getting minutes, and Carter seems to be able to step up whenever hes needed. Raptors can get 50 if they keep it up.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting VinKanaddy:</div><div class="quote_post">Here's an even better one: The entire Eastern Conference Standings. </div> Wow, look at those standings....
Other than Charlotte, and Milwakue the playoff picture looks nice to me. That would be nice if Raps stay at a perfect record. But realistically they do have a great chance at 50 wins.
I think it is way too early to start posting the standings. Let the teams play atleast 10 games before we start getting carried away.
I agree, 3 games do not mean much though it is nice to see Toronto 2nd in the Eastern Conference standings and tied for 1st with the best record in the NBA ( ) It won't last though because they will obviously and eventually get beaten but I'm optimistic about this team. They look great out there and Sam Mitchell is doing an excellent jpb as a first time coach. I think him being a player not too logn ago also makes him a smarter coach because he knows what's going on in the midns of these young players etc etc. Hopefully he can turn Bosh into a powerhouse like he helped Garnett turn into one. Like I said before, I expect either the Raptors or the Knicks to take the Atlantic. I believe the top 2 teams in the Atlantic will have records around .500 and will both make the playoffs. Of course, only one can get the first seed. If they play thier hearts out, the Raptors will take it. Thier true test is coming up now in their 6 game Western trip. This trip will shape how thier team's chemistry is holding out. I expect a 2-4 record in the trip because I feel that's realistic but hey, I was wrong about the Pistons, Rockets and the Blazer games so most likely I'll be wrong about this one as well.
Just of out curiousity, why are you doing this? The Raps aren't your fav team, and this forum is for die hard raps fans. It would make more sense for a die hard fan, to do this.

So when I heard about the franchise coming back, I was estastic. I still love T.O. though, gotta root for Canada. :thumbsup:
Raps are tied for the best record in the NBA with the win tonight at Utah :thumbsup: Phoenix: 4-1 Indiana: 4-1 Miami: 4-0 Dallas: 4-1 Utah: 4-1 Seattle: 4-1
Meh, hard road trip for the Raps. They easily could've gone 3-3 on the trip, but just bad luck on their side. Got the standings updated.
