It maybe a pathetic division but the Raptors are Division Champs

. :Eek:

.....buzzkill as this should have happened weeks ago :eyebrows:lol!!.......so now to get to the final countdown....9 Games left with Houston on Monday the only team above 500 they will play but then games against "desperate to get to the playoffs" teams like Miami, Charlotte and Brooklyn.....Kyle needs to get 100% by April 15....I say if we can be 7-2 through the end then we will be in good shape for the Wiz and that damn Paul Pierce!....have a great weekend all! Let's go Raptors!:thumb:

We should have traded any player but Kyle Lowry & 3 1st rounders for Andrew Wiggins at the beginning of the season.

It took Kevin Love to get Wiggins . Nobody on Raps roster was close to Kevin Love .

Lowry has shown again he can't stay healthy for 82 game season

It's the long game as per Masai. This team is still 12 to 24 months from what he thinks would be a progressive and transformative group. This group this year has overachieved (see first 35 games) and set expectations a bit high early. I think it's been a great year with the personnel but it's obvious upgrades are possible so let's see how these team evolves over the next little bit.

Well. No Dwight tonight so opportunity arises! JJ has the word now it seems so let's see if he can handle Harnden tonight. If Raps can steal this one, it'll help the old psyche some. Let's go Raptors!:thumb:

Raps win 99 96 Demarr with a double double. First time I felt they looked like a team in a while and they were a little shaky early. Hope this is a sign good things are returning.

Wow a over 500 team win in a close game that went down to the wire ... Haven't seen that in awhile . Demar took that team on his back and road them to a win .

44 wins .. No more 500 teams left on schedule but tough 8 games left .. 6 of those teams fighting for 8th and final playoff spot . Only 2 more home games

Agreed! Right on time. Go DD Go! I can not wait to see the playoffs starts.

I can't see Raps winning more then 2 games to end the season

Boys showed a little something something last night. Rockets undermanned but still better talent wise yet the boys played hard and pulled it out with a gigantic DD effort. Now a clean 8-0 run to the end would be even better! It can be done and would be the perfect on ramp to the playoffs! But they will have to do it on the road and that will always test you. Bulls are in sight and their sched is just a little tougher so that's achievable too. Hope they can focus and gain these little victories before the playoffs! Let's go Raptors!:thumb:

.... Those must be two against Charlotte.....:wink:.........lol! ...come now RGuy stay with the force to the end.....

 

[ogibowt]

ok boys, some hypotheticals...the Raps4 meet Wiz5, beat them and then play Atlanta, who beats 8th seed.....or Raps3 meet Bucks6, beat them, and meet eitherBulls or Cavs[presuming they win 1st round].........which scenario is preferred?

Oh no . Raps always make Bobcats look like world champs when ever they play

Raps match up well with both the Wiz and Bucks. The Bucks are a preferable match up because of their youth. Bucks overachieved this year because Kidd has gotten them to play hard like the Raps last year. Talent takes over in the playoffs.

I'm not that scared of the Wiz, simply because they are not a good 3pt shooting team like last year. This will allow the Raps to protect the paint from John Wall. The only thing that scares me about the Wiz is the size upfront. Gortat and Nene can easily get Valanciunas in foul trouble and they can kill the Raps on the offensive glass.

Wolves aren't much of an opposition especially with the number of guys out! Nets next and I hope the Raps send them a message. Nets are a ton better with Lopez so it should be a good game a real test of what our guys are made of.

Nets and Celtics are both hot ... They are giving the Heat a challenge and we might see 3 Atlantic division teams in the playoffs

As BPS states, bucks are younger and Wiz are bigger so Bucks might be a less experienced opponent, but 2nd round against Hawks would be better than Cavs who'll take the Bulls out. Either way, preferred path would be to get through first round and gain momentum and hope for the best after that!
