The Bright Side of Losing

[S.R.]

Is there a bandwagon on FireUjiri??? It's just you and well, you.

peanutwoozle's banging that drum as hard as he can, but so far he's still the only one on his wagon.

The only bright side of losing I see is increasing chances of Dwane Casey getting pounded by the Rock a.k.a. Ujiri.

You mean he gets fired right

I thought winning our division would guarantee home court advantage first round Oh well I doubt we drop off more than Washington they've been losing just as bad as us.

we have already dropped off more than washington.

we have already dropped off more than washington.

Just a 2.5 game lead with 19 games left. Home court is anything but guaranteed.

I know everyone's depressed from the losing streak. So let's take a look at the amazing upside of it.

1. Rather than facing Miami, Indiana or Charlotte first round we get to face the Bucks or the Wizards.

2. Even if the raptors fall to a record lower than the Bucks or Wizards we finish 4th and get a favorable first round matchup [Updated (thx planetmars) - No home court advantage if we have a lower record ] (Unless Brooklyn goes on a miracle run)

3. If we do end up with a low enough record we get a mid range draft pick rather than some 27th or 26th pick we were looking to get around January.

4. I'm sure the raptors will pull it together by the end of the regular season. That means we will have a potential 2nd round match up with the Hawks. (Which is way more preferable than the Cavs or Bulls)

Raps Vs Cavs 2015 ECF, Book it!

This thread will be bumped when we make the ECF and still get a decent pick with lots of trade potential or if we go down taking the hawks to a full 7 game series. #InMasaiIstillTrust

Feel free to flame if we get knocked off in the first round =P

I love your optimism. Don't see Raptors getting out of first round at present.

A little misleading, since the Raps had a good net rating cushion on Washington pre-January 16th. So even though the Raptors have fallen further, they are still a better team.

Also, schedule has been pretty brutal. Not saying they are playing at the level they should, but I don't think they're suddenly a lottery team either.

How can you miss games lool? It's nearly impossible for me to not watch raptors games no matter how bad they're playing.
