I love how everyone knows CJ Miles is definitely starting lol. He's exactly what casey loves. He's a veteran that spaces the floor. There is no way in hell he doesn't start. But I do believe as the season goes on or at least by playoff time Norman will win the starting position. And everyone's saying 3rd seed. Who other than Cleveland do you think will be better than us? Washington or Boston?

[tDotted]

1. How many wins will the Raptors get? More than 30

2. What seed do the Raptors end up with in the Eastern conference? 2nd or 3rd as usual

3. Who will the Raptors face in round 1 of the playoffs? An Eastern Conference team

4. Who will be representing Toronto in the NBA all-star game? Our current all-stars. Again.

5. Will Masai make a trade before the deadline? Nothing significant

6. Who will start on opening night? Powell or Miles? Powell. I'll bet my life.

7. What will DeMar's 3pt% be by the end of the season? Passable

8. How many regular season games will JV start in? 50 or less

9. Who averages more mpg? FVV or OG

10. Who of KJ McDaniels, Alfonzo McKinnie, Kennedy Meeks, and Kyle Wiltjer will remain on the roster after January 10th? Mckinnie.

I don't like how the Raps defense is shaping up this year.. so I think they'll get the 3rd seed. Probably to Cleveland and Boston again. And yeah.. Miles is starting. That's totally Casey's style.

[Shaolin Fantastic]

Boston is better than us. The firepower from their two lead guys (IT and Hayward) is on par with ours and Horford is better than Ibaka. Plus, unlike us, they actually have a real 3+D SF who can defend top wings and small-ball 4s at a good level. They also have a more creative coach.

I think we've actually fallen into the 3rd tier of the east. Cleveland is tier one, Boston is tier two and tier three is us, Milwaukee and Washington.
