[QUOTE=knickscity]One of two sensible Raps fans. Kudos for you.[/QUOTE]
Actually there are many sensible Raptors' fans, but then there are alot of Raptors' fans who are homers and can't see their player get hated on, fairly or unfairly, and blow everything out of proportion...

nope, it's a fact...

I'm not going there with you. The Raps are better than a dark horse. Anyone catching fire can come out of the east.

I am not really sure what you mean, but I don't think there is any chance that the Raptors win the east, not this year...

What i meant was that they are playing just as well as anyone in the East right now, so based on that they are better than a darkhorse.
The Raptors better win as much as they can right now... They are playing well despite losing TJ. The other Atlantic teams are depleted and still finding there way....
Its not that Raptors are so good as much as other teams are so injured!

Not true, they have the 12th best record in the whole league.
Yes, even in the West they would be in the playoffs. In fact half of their games have been against the West so far.

they are only 30 teams in the league. the 12th best record isnt that great. and it can slip away easily
This thread isn't very shocking. There's always a bunch of idiot Raptor fans around that start creaming in their pants when the Raptors go on a mini win streak. We are barely past they half way point, we're 25-23, and this guy is talking about winning the east?
Teams like Detroit, Chicago, Miami, will whoop us in a 7 game playoff series. Playoffs is a completely different ball game. Nothing like the regular season. It's the time when coaching becomes a big factor. We have Sam Mitchell....enough said. You think he is smart enough to go head to head with Pat Riley, Scott Skiles, or Flip Saunders??? Think again.
Raptors will most likely win the Titanic, but let's not get carried away...
This is coming from a die hard raptor fan too.

For a team that started 7-14 it is damn good. For a team that was missing their franchise player, a 23/11 guy for 12 games it is damn good.
12th best record is a damn good achievement considering they are only 4 games back of #1 in the East. I'm not saying they'll get there, but they are only 4 games back of being the #1 seed after winning the lottery last year.
Huge jump.

If they were good they wouldn't have started 7-14.

Theres been alot of injured teams. Shaq has been missing for who knows how long. Yao's been missing longer. Redd's been missing a long time. PP, Lewis, Odom, the list goes on and on.

It's not about how you start, it's how you finish.

Yao hasn't been missing longer then Shaq has he? While I agree that this thread wasn't really the best idea to start but nobody can say that they expected the Raps to have the 12th best record in the league. Also nobody would have thought that they would be only 4 games back of first in the East. I am by no means saying that they will win the East, I will be happy with a division title, but you have to admit that the Raps are playing good basketball since there bad start.
Going by your logic then Pheonix isn't a good team either since they started 1-5.
