RR has a way of self regulating opinion regarding the Raptors position in the NBA universe. Does Abbott have a crystal ball about season's end? Not all of us are blue skiers. We follow our team each day. Does he?

Mr. Abbott is entitled to his opinion.
but facts are facts. wins say who the best and worst are.

The only things i read in ESPN and the NBA.com are the power rankings, coz theyre based on what actually happened in the past week. I also like Sekou Smith coz he's pretty much basing his article on interviews, facts, etc.
All the other columnists are fantasy writers. maybe they're a step higher than rick kamla, just because rick deals with the fantasy insider part and these other so-called experts say theyre writing about what's really happening in the NBA.
these are the same guys who said before that allen, garnett and pierce will not amount to anything coz theyre old and past their prime. same guys are forecasting that the heat will be unbeatable this year, might even break the bull's 72 wins. i really dont see the value in their "predictions". theyre just glorified nba fans, people just like us who just because they got to rub elbows with nba aficionados suddenly got a rep in writing about the NBA. these people has followed the nba the same time as us. so i really dont know what the big fuss is about.

HOw can you "confirm" something like that? At this it's point it's simply subjective.
In the words of Indigo Montoya, as written by William Goldman, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

LOL players probably laugh at that fool for knowing so little yet claiming so much. If that guy knows Raps are worst team in the league I guess Raptors should just stop playing and beating teams like Orlando and Boston because clearly were gonna fiish in last.

Hypocrisy I say. Didn't the latest ESPN power rankings indicates that the Raps moved 6 spots to to 18th?
Raps are movin' on up.
We're in the top 20 and this douche is slagging the team? Hey, as much as I'm critical of Bargs, I'll defend this team and the city of Toronto. You know what, the problem here is that Mr. Abbott really doesn't spend enough time here. He needs to watch the team grow and then afterwards, he needs to go out with The Young Onez (with Bayless being the new member) and get some TO nightlife in his system. I bet you after one session, he'd be back for more while praising the team and the city for its flavour. Heck, if BC let's him wear one of his shirts, he might get some too.

More hits = increased traffic = increased ad revenue.
Henry is welcome to his own opinion, we all are - even you. Opinions don't make them right. Teams aren't judged on paper either, they are judged on the court. This year the Raps have so far beaten Orlando and Boston, gave LAL and MIA a run for their money, played awful and beat Philly, and beat Houston. I would have to disagree with Henry.
I would welcome being a Raptors fan at this time rather than the Cavs, Detroit, Philly, Houston, Sacramento (arena and bankrupt city/state issue), and LAC (although if they get rid of Kaman and Davis, things are looking up).

Way to bring something constructive to the forum. Maybe you need to go the way of your buddy trife and have a little time out in the corner...
and for the record, ESPN is a multi-billion dollar corporation, and henry didnt write a column about it... he said it for 2 seconds during a podcast on someone else's show...
and you dont get paid, when raptor fans email you...lol

He's smart though. If he says that the Raps are the worst team in the league, he knows that the Raps fans will want to listen to it and talk about it.. he gets more hits, more publicity.
