Are you guys comparing seriously comparing Bosh with Dirk, or was it sarcasm?
[QUOTE=knickscity]You make the 4th sensible Raps fan. Kudos to you to.[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about. All Raptors fans realize that it'd be a long shot to beat teams like Detroit, Miami, and Chicago... but I think it's fair to say that we have a shot against the Washington, Cleveland, Indiana, or NJ in the playoffs.
We were just pointing out how much of a choker Dirk is....and that he hasn't done anything significant that Bosh hasn't...well that's what I percieved was going on at least...
But no one is saying Bosh is on Dirk's level.....i think.
Hope that cleared things up.

No..... all Raps fan do not realize that. You gotta make the playoffs first...and even the thread starter is talking about the possibility of winning the east. That would be putting the Raptors in the NBA Finals. Mighty strong stretch wouldn't you think???:confusedshrug:

Wow. Ummm done anything significant, how about getting to the playoffs then maybe you can mention Bosh in the same sentence as Dirk, maybe. BTW, he had a bad series, shyt happens and you move on. But I guess you didn't call him a choker win he tied the game against the Spurs or when he killed Phoenix.
You're humourless.
[QUOTE=PureElement]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.
woot, woot, the east!
Yup.[/QUOTE]
you're not very bright... and im only basing that on all i have to judge you on... your misguided comments.
we wouldn't have started off 7-14 if we weren't very good? would a bad team have gone 18-9 after that?
oh yea... and when you have 9 new team members, how good of a start are you expected to have? you don't think they needed time to gel? the only starter remaining from last year's squad is bosh.... the other four starters were playing in san antonio, israel, milwuakee and spain last season... but i suppose you just expected them to click immediately...i'm expecting an answer so you better come up with a good one.
then there is your next comment about injuries... bosh was out for the entire month of december, that's 1/3 of the season so far... how can you compare that to the heat who had d-wade still in the lineup?? does toronto have anyone on wade's level to step up when bosh went down? how about yao? do we have anyone like tmac who can step up and take charge? redd, PP and shard's teams are all in the basement of the league, while the raptors currently have home court in the first round, so that comparison is idiotic, toronto was a good enough time to survive without their allstar, the bucks, celts and sonics were not. (but in all due fairness, milwuakee has had injuries to every position, doesn't help your arguement though)
lamar odom? when he's on bosh's level, let me know... and they still had kobe bryant suiting up for them every game last time i checked.
don't post crap about things you CLEARLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, like basketball.
I think I'm as good as Dirk, ya know. I never choked away a playoff game and I'm actually undefeated in the playoffs. I'm so f-cking good I haven't missed a shot in the playoffs or let my opponent score on me.

They started 7-14 because they had 9 new players and went through an extremely difficult Western road swing.
Shaq, Redd, PP, Lewis are all on teams with significantly worse records then the Raptors. What's your point? I didn't use it as an excuse, but it is a reason they might be better then their record. Not much better but it's worth mentioning.
woot, woot, the east? Lame. As I already said they've played half their games against the West and would be in the playoffs in the West. What more do you want from a team who's 3 best players are under 22? A team with the most new players this season and a very young nucleus. 25 wins 48 games into the season is a huge jump.
The **** is a dude from Edmonton cheering for the Rockets anyway? :roll:

Dude, we were clearly screwing with HowardDirk. Chill out.

Bosh > Irk.

All we have to do to make the playoffs is to stay atop the Atlantic division. We've done a pretty good job of that so far.
Toronto 25-23
NJ - 22-27
NY- 21-28
and the other 2 aren't even in the race...
So call it what you will, but it looks like even finishing .500 the rest of the way would put us in a playoff spot.. Winning the east? not likely if we face the Pistons or Heat, but even then it's still possible.
[QUOTE=RAPSCANWIN]How could you not...
1. A Bonified Superstar...Bosh
2. Total Team, Unselfish play
3. One of the best benches in the league
4. One of the best point gaurd combos in the league. Ford & Calderon
5. First in the Atlantic and Surging ahead and improving every game.
6. Colangelo could be GM of the year again.
7. All this with a percieved Lame duck coach.
It would be Undeserving not to call them a Dark Horse at this point.[/QUOTE]
