So one of the teams we'd have to play in the finals got slightly luckier in one of the simulations because of last night's results.Last edited by octothorp; Wed Nov 26, 2014, 06:54 PM.

Raptors come crashing down to 9th in Stein's ESPN rankings:
http://espn.go.com/nba/powerrankings/_/year/2015/week/5
They are 7th in SI's rankings:

NBA.com has them 6th:

Not a good week.
This week's going to be tough as well:
@Sac - Tuesday
@Utah - Wednesday
Cleveland - Friday
Need to go 3-0 to move up the rankings. A single loss and I expect another drop in the rankings.

It was easy to get pretty high during the first month of the season as a fan, but this is a good reality check. It's a long season, and the real benchmark for success will still be getting this team past the first round. Once you do that, your next goal is Conference Finals, and you're well on your way for a team this young."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

A few losses here and there are expected. Just happy when the team is doing well, and I hope they will be mentioned in the top 10 of the weekly power rankings going forward despite DeMar's injury.

Standings wise, we are now only 1 game up on the Wizards and tied in the loss column.Last edited by ezz_bee; Sat Dec 6, 2014, 04:36 PM."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

Chi town at number 3 is a complete joke, i still have no clue why everyone thinks this team will be so good. The expectations of D Rose after his last injury laughable. Remember how he injured it, yeah same shit as Brendan Roy the guys done. I see 3 teams on that list that i think we would not be able to beat in a 7 games series San Antonio, The clippers, and GSW
