You are crowing about this team's demise way too early.

I think even without my partisan hat on I'd say the Raptors have the second best roster in the East. They definintely haven't been playing as well as Boston, Washington, Miami, or even Atlanta the last few weeks, though.
I'd like to see them finish #2 or #3.Last edited by S.R.; Thu Feb 16, 2017, 05:24 PM."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

17-8 is do-able.
I honestly don't care. Now that we have ibaka to replace biz, I think we are stronger this yr and moving forward.
However it plays out, I hope we fire Casey and use our assets (which is a real strength) to make a few adjustments. I'm assuming we resign Lowry and ibaka. If we actually play our young guys and Masai has some luck then I think we're in a great position to upgrade and tweak. My only concern is what happens to pat? He's a real key piece to me unless we can get an amir type on an exception, or Bruno shares a condo with norm.

And if that happens.. it may not be a bad thing to end up in 4th.
