they have, but in the long run (come playoff time) if they do make it, they wont go no where.


also, basketball related, the NCAA tourny. Final four!!! GO UNC!!!!!!!

During Playoffs, you need a big man under the post.

What's with Raptor fans and thinking their team is good? It really boggles my mind. Chris Bosh is way too inconsistent as a big man, grabbing 20 rebounds one night and only four the next. Andrea Bargnani is an oversized guard stuck with playing the four or five who can't rebound or defend. TJ Ford is about as injury prone as they come. Anthony Parker is good for a couple threes but that's it. The team as a whole can't defend or rebound, and has no go-to scorer. The only reason they're even over .500 is because they play in the East.

I will agree the East is weak. It's so sad.

@mojo

chill. i didn't say my team was good. i said they have potential in the *future*. all of them are still young guys and have room to grow. and yes, the east is weak. we probably wouldn't be able to make it to the playoffs this year if it wasn't for the imbalance.

[MojoMunkeez]

It's not you, per se, but Raptor fans as a whole on the internet. Especially last season when they made the playoffs, they came out en masse and proclaimed a championship run.
This Raptor team will NEVER win a championship. Mark my words.

I supported Rockets before they went on their 22 game winning streak. All because T-mac and Yao has been together for so long and yet no ring, so really its out of pity. T-mac hasnt even passed through the 2nd round of the playoffs.......
Getting a ring may be too imaginative though, however a conference finals appearance is possible.

And it's such a delight seeing Mutombo's finger wave, brings back old memories LOL

btw out of curious when do you all think will Shaq retire? my guess season 2010

[Henchy432]

Shaq should retire now.

how i wish i could have some hope w/ the team i support. The mavs may not even make the playoffs. I wish they were in the east, they probably would then have the best record in the nba. If the mavs do make the playoffs i hope they play the lakers, utah, or the rockets in the first round. The hornets are ready to make a breakthrough, the spurs are the spurs and i have no faith dallas beating the suns.

On that note, i hate the fact the celtics will get home court advantage through-out the playoffs. The western conference champion should receive it by default bc the east is so weak.

[vphamv]

lulz, mavs....too bad the Warriors eliminated them last year. =D

And the Celtics are raw though, but I don't see them winning tbh.
