***The Official TORONTO RAPTORS 2007-2008 Thread***

I'm gonna say this so many times this year you're all gonna get tired of it:

God this team is so good.

Ya stupid [censored] Montreal. I can't get raps TV or League Pass with my cable provider. Interesting question if you could go pick in time and draft Barnagi or Aldridge who do you draft?

The development of this club since Colangelo hopped aboard has been nothing short of remarkable. The depth on this team is just an embarrassment of riches, we have the best bench in the East and the 2nd best in the NBA (Spurs).

Bargnani is such a stud, and it won't surprise me if he shoots 55-60% from the field this season. I know that seems like a long shot since his game is so perimeter-oriented but the kid is that damn good.

I love seeing this team win, especially while Bosh recovers and isn't really needed as much now. I've said it before, the play of Forderon is the main key to us winning and they are both playing outstanding.

And if the league isn't respecting us, that's fine. The Raptors are winning a playoff series this year, book it.

Attention New Jersey,

Payback is a bitch!

Aldridge, of course. But bargnani would be the #2 pick.

Ugh! This is a really tough one. Aldridge is such a stud and you can't go wrong picking him. If Bargnani keeps playing like he did the last 2 games we could see him take over the scoring leader away from Bosh, who is trying to focus more on rebounding this year. I really think this will be Bargnani's breakout year, he's bulked up and he's going to be a beast.

[Veecee]

With Aldridge's injuries....Bargnani > Aldridge

Both of them healthy...Aldridge > Bargnani

Aldridge is a better complement to Bosh if you ask me.

Come on. Barnagi is sick, but 55% is ridiculous maybe he can get a TS% like that with all of his threes.

[Veecee]

I said it seems like a longshot, but he never forces a shot, never takes a bad shot, and drills all his open jumpers.

55% could be too much, but I see him hovering around 49-50% realistically.
