I just read in one of the "Morning Coffee" featured stories that the Raptors are on pace to match last seasons win total of 59. I found that hard to believe in a season of "load management," weeks long absences due to injuries and a relatively tough schedule. With everyone healthy, a softer schedule, and a talent upgrade via Gasol, along with the subtraction of CJ and Munroe who figured out to be net negative influences, as well as the prospect of picking up some help off of waivers, what do you think the win total winds up being?
I think it is realistic to project the Raptors as finishing in the #1 spot. I think the adjustment they have to go through will be far leases disruptive for the Raptors then for teams that are adding more potential rotation players. And I think their clear upgrade vis a vis Gasol versus JV will start to have an immediate impact. If they can find one or two more reliable shooters and a 3rd big with more upside than Greg, it seals te deal, in my opinion.
I expect them to get to 62 wins, or more.
Thoughts?
