All you non believers just got burned. I've said it before and I'll say it again....NEVER under estimate the TORONTO RAPTORS.

Raptors rebounded great in this game, I never thought i'd live the day to say that. Good game for the Raptors, they needed this one because the Bucks lost and they were right under us.
good game for the raps but it was disappointing to see Rose's and Carter's performance (especially Carter's). Carter keeps making dumb passes to people (causing turnovers) because he's probably scared to go up strong and get fouled. Many times he has perfect position to go strong to the hole, but he chooses to kick it out instead. Driving strong to the net is the only way he can come back and become a top 10 player in this league. Also, if Rose is our pg and he's making 7 turnovers in a game...i might want to change his position. He did make some clutch shots for us...but his overall performance for a pg was not good. ***In the battle of the rookies, i think Melo won this battle but only by a slight margin. Bosh was really solid and made some very nice fakes and finishes throughout the game. I TOLD you guys we'd win this + i said by 5 pnts...pretty close. WAS THERE ANY DOUBT WE WOULDN'T WIN!!! GO RAPS
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">So Raptors beating Nuggets makes them better? no thats not how it works.You have to prove through the season how good you are.You don't judge who is better on just one meeting.Their record so far tells you everything you need to know about how good they are.They also have had a tough schedule...You won't truely understand how tough it is in the west until the Raptors actually go west.And forgive if I'm wrong but didn't Raptors break a long long losing streak to west teams on sunday? you are around 500 in the east while Nuggets are 19-11 in the tough west.That says to me...Nuggets are better Doubt you will get many others to disagree with that statement</div> Oh please, nuggets are in no way better. U think Raps were playin easy teams the whole time? Yea even though the nuggets are in the west, they play about almost the same amount of difficulty teams, but the ranks are different. Trust me, go look at the raps schedule, they usually have back to back West teams on the swings. Besides, Nuggets should be happy, we didnt re-sign Voshon. u got a good deal, cuz if we hadnt, nuggets wouldnt even think of gettin Voshon later on, he'd be lookin into the free agency market for a long while. And then denver would really suck. And u cant say the record speaks for itself either.. would u regard the Magic as teh worst team in their division? Of course not. There u go

There u go</div> You seem to be another person who takes the west schedule for granted.The play almost the same teams? they play the west teams two more times than the east teams do.That makes a big difference through a season.Why are you talking as If I'm a Nuggets fan? I'm not...Lenard was a very good signing for them who is having a career year.Would I reguard Magic the worse team in their division? no not right now..I consider the Wizards worse but thats it.Everyone else above I feel are better teams. Unless your team goes to the west and plays teams 4 times a year you will have no clue how tough that conference really is. Anyway it is pointless going around with the "who is better" threads.Becomes rather boring going on about it.Just enjoy the season and let the players play.
