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

PS- Bargnani is indeed a stud

Loved what Bosh did today, the whole team played great. Delfino came out of nowhere, this is his first good game of the preseason.

PS. Jamario Moon baby! Please cut Luke Jackson and find a spot for Moon.

[T_Mac]

Yeah Jamario is showing something, I like Luke too but the guy just doesn't have the upside Moon does.

[Veecee]

Moon makes the team! Nice.

Luke gets cut...you're right T_Mac, he doesn't have the upside but I think the Raps would be better off cutting Darrick Martin.

[T_Mac]

Oh I didn't even think of that, I think you're definitely right and if hes so valuable just hire him as a consultant or assistant coach or something.

[Veecee]

They hired a new assistant coach (taking over for Jim Todd), Mike Evans. He specializes in PG play and has been great for T.J. Ford. Ford has already said on record that Evans has been great for him and changed his game for the better.

Although with so much depth at the 2/3 positions, it had to be Jackson or Moon.

We can't cut Darrick Martin. He leads the league in airball ratio AND field goals attempted per minute played. Superstar in the making!

LOL. You also forgot to mention that he is one of the best cheerleaders in the L (Jasikevicius takes that crown).

I don't understand all the low expectations this year. We had the best record in the East after Christmas last year, and with all of our young guys have only gotten better. I can't see us winning less than 50 if we stay healthy. My prediction is a 55-27 record.

I'll admit the Raptors are a team that wouldn't surprise me either way.. they could win 38 or 53 and either way I wouldn't be shocked. But 55 is pretty bold. Not seeing anything less than 50 is the sign of a true homer.
