Official Toronto Raptors 2007 Thread

[4thstreetpete]

Hey I was listening to ESPN radio last night and they were saying that Toronto may be the best team on the East ahead of Detroit and Washington, no joke. LOL [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I guess a lot of other cities are now realizing that raptors are no longer the laughing stock of the NBA. Incredible what 1 year makes.

Check out these division leaders:

West:
Utah
Pheonix
Dallas

East:
Detroit
Washington
Toronto

LOL, I still get a chuckle out of that. One of these teams don't belong. Anyways it's been a ridiculous fun ride this first half, really looking forward to the second. I think the team is finally gelling since their horrible 2-8 start when everyone was adjusting to the new faces and life in the NBA from the euroleague. It's been so bad in Toronto for the raptors that this is so refreshing. It reminds me of the trade that Cliff Fletcher made to bring Gilmore to the Leafs for Gary Leeman in that blockbuster deal. It completely changed the teams fortune around and brought excitement back to the city. Because lets face it, the raptors franchise has been a total joke and an embarassment to the league on how a team should be managed during it's tenure. Bringing in Brian Colangelo has been the greatest thing for basketball in this city.
