Raptors continue to surprise... even me - Message Board Basketball Forum

I thought the Raps would be lucky to get out of February with a .500 month, but to my surprise they managed to have their best month of their year so far. Big wins over very good teams like the Lakers, Bulls and Rockets. Their record continues to improve month to month.

November: 5 - 10
December: 8 - 8
January: 10 - 5
February: 9 - 3

What a turn around.

I'd say more impressive is the fact that O is actually here and posting!

The TJ Ford Factor strikes again. Seriously, the guy takes the Bucks to the playoffs his rookie year. Gets hurt the next year, they miss the playoffs. When he finally returns, they make the playoffs again for the first time since the last year he played. He now goes to the Raps, they are in the playoffs for the first time in ages, while the Bucks are like 21-37 or something.

The TJ Ford Factor. TJ Ford = Playoffs

I'm surprised he didn't mention that Chris Bosh is from Dallas.

Initially I was too, but then I remembered that miles has hyped Ford much more than he has Bosh in the past.

I don't think I'd mention TJ Ford just now. Maybe it will go away if we ignore it.

It's Rasho who's turning this team around.

Seriously, he's a huge upgrade over the big detrimental forces at C that were Araujo, Raw Pig and Bad Fit Bonner.

kwajo · 03-01-2007, 12:14 PM

^ This is a man that knows what he's talking about. Rasho has never, NEVER, missed the playoffs. Coincidence that the T-Wolves dropped out of contention when he left? I think not.

Rasho has played well in the last two games...no more 2 foot misses.

kwajo · 03-01-2007, 12:33 PM

Yup, he's even dunking

kwajo, did you see when he took Jake Tsakalidis to school in the post? That was a play of grace and beauty, putting the ball on the floor, it was beautiful. It's amazing how everyone thought it was terrible we were trading for his huge contract and how valuable he has become to our team. Personally, I thought the trade was maybe a lateral or slightly positive move when considering contract, output, impact on team but it's been one of the better move, out of many, that Colangelo has made.

Praise Rasho!
Praise TJ Ford!
Praise Anthony Parker!
Praise Humphries!
Praise Garbo!
Praise Juan Dixon!
Praise Il Mago!
