[QUOTE]There are so many examples, the Raptors are too young to understand this right now.. it takes time[/QUOTE]
People keep bringing this up but if you take a close look at the roster it's not so much a factor.
Garbajosa is 28 playued in the european championships which is like the equivalent to the playoffs here for years. Parker the same and Bargnani is younger but has still gone. Calderon Ditto.
Mo Pete has been there before twice with the Raps.
Fred Jones with Idinana a few times.
TJ Ford Last year with the Bucks.
Basically the only ones who haven't already been to the playoffs are Bosh, Graham, Humphries, Sow, Slokar...the last three barely play anyways.
As I said this will not be as big of a factor as most people think. But that's just IMO.
Knicks and Celtics fans hating, they wish they were in our shoes :lol:
The Rap are my team but I can't see them getting past detroit in 7 game series.
I can see them pulling a first round upset, and I think they will win their crappy division, but that's as far as they will likely go this year.
Still compared to last year thats like them winning a title.

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.[/QUOTE]
Defense?

No thanks. I'll take a high draft pick in this upcoming draft over a first-round KO any day.
TJ Ford
Mo Peterson
Anthony Parker
Rasho Nesterovic
Jorge Garbajosa
all play good D, IMO

:roll:
you WISH you were winning the Atlantic, but you aren't so you say that
You are what we were in 2003, a sh!t team with an all star swing man, and scrubs. We have our high pick from a great draft, he's starting in the all star game. So, we're three years ahead. With a better GM as well. Good luck with your situation.

Stern said we could offer the Celts as a sacrifice instead.
Second round here we come!:banana:
Raptors would get smoked by Pistons and Miami in a 7 game series.

Wouldn't be till second round probably at the earliest. Detroit will be the top seed and Miami is either gonna end up being in the top 4 or 7th/8th.
NO chance against Detroit, Miami or Chicago in a 7 game series. Against any other team, there is hope. I just wanna get to the playoffs first.
If all Canadian basketball teams were divided into two conferences, and one of those conferences were called "the East," and the Raptors were in that conference...
Then yes. They certainly could win the East.
I don't think we'll win the East, but I like your enthusiasm, Safka.
Whoa
