Casey does not like playing his rookies.. didn't do it last year when tanking could have helped.. I really doubt he will do it this year when tanking will make no sense since OKC has the pick.your pal,

I just went back to check some of my old posts (at another site), and I found that at the 4-14 mark I predicted us to win 20 games total this season. That was before the Gay trade obviously.
However.. sitting at 23 wins, I do not feel like they have exceeded my expectations.your pal,

Here is the remaining schedule:
Schedule Breakdown
Total games: 35
Home games: 17
Road games: 18
games vs. East: 28
Games vs. West: 7
Games vs. opp over .500: 21
Games vs. opp under .500: 14
Games vs. teams currently in 6-7-8-9-10:- Atlanta - 2
- Milwaukee - 2
- Boston - 3
- Philadelphia - 0
- Detroit - 2
Coulda/shoulda/woulda time: All I keep thinking about is the blown games vs. Milwaukee and Philly and the 4 "ref" games.
So with the schedule breakdown, what do you think Raptors playoff odds are?
Looking at the Bucks limp in to the playoffs (37-41, 3-7 last 10), 40 wins would have likely assured a playoff spot - even 38 would have done it had the Raps even split with Milwaukee. With four games left the Bucks play Atlanta, Charlotte, Denver, and OKC.
Disappointing because it was attainable.

And not even to say it could have been better ... it SHOULD have been better.
I think next year, anything but the Playoffs will be a HUGE let down.
Which is at least a nice feeling to have. Been a while since we've been able to say that.

Man... I put 40-60, and that was in the beginning of February. I should've seen the slip coming...Twitter - @thekid_it
