Predict refs swallow their whistles and let the teams play.

Its nice to dream .. but can you imagine only losing 13 games ALL Season?! I'd be forced to make Game Threads for the rest of my life!

I can see the future. Win or lose, you'll be creating game threads for the rest of the season, Joey. It's just the way it is....

[iblastoff]

Let it go brother.

i have no problem with that!

Biggest test of the early season?

IMO, vs the full strength Bulls was the biggest test. This to me is our 6th benchmartk game, games that in combination will show where we're at. My other 5 were @Heat, @Cavs and the home games vs Wiz, Bulls, Grizz.

This week:

vs PHX - toss-up
@ ATL - W
vs DAL - toss-up
@ LAL - W

"Masai treats the Knicks like they are his personal farm team system, where he can cultivate assets for the future. It's not right or fair, but he's THE WARLORD"

So,you think Acy will be a Raptor again?

I say I get an opt-out if we ever hit a 5 game losing streak.

It's impossible for The Great Joey to have a 5 game losing streak. Terrence agrees

I believe it's a team option. Sorry dude.

I believe it's a team option. Sorry dude.

Hahaha Well played.

Well.. thats it then. Doc, I may need some arbitration!.. Oh, we don't do that in the NBA?

Those were good tests as well. I just feel like Phoenix and Charlotte are two teams I really want to see Raptors face off against. They are a lot like the Raptors in that they are young, up and coming and below the conteder list of teams. Chicago is a contender unlike us, Wiz weren't at full strength with Beal out, Grizz had players missing due to illness and Cavs aren't the same Cav's this early on in the season that you expect they will be at the end of the season. Heat I guess were the first true test in my mind. Not that I'm discounting the wins, but Phoenix is tough, and always play use well. I think this game will tell volumes about how much we have improved since last season.

You mean we didn't lock up Joey long term? Shiit. This is worse than not extending T-Mac. Somebody get Masai. lol.

He is locked up long-term, but it's incentive-based.
