We are only 4 games back of the 8th seed

Since we're talking playoffs, let's make a playoff analogy.

If Raps win 4 out of every 7 games the rest of the way, they have a shot at playoffs.

LOL, it's funny how some don't realize that this season is going EXACTLY like all the previous losing seasons. They are right on track for another treadmill season, but this time, they screwed up so bad with the trading of the draft pick, that this may be a positive. There is a reason why this team has no stars. The team always sucks, but not enough to get top level talent. This season, they may as well suck like they have in the previous seasons, just to get rid of that OKC pick. Reality check people - this seasons is no different than the last 4 or 5 seasons under Colangelo. Heck, even the Calderon vs. starting PG, team playing better without Bargnani and team winning due to scrubs going off is right in line with what we're accustomed to. Here we have some of us sitting here, screaming about why we need BC to be fired, and the usual fans are being suckered back in.

I'm going to update this thread everytime we make progress in the standings

This is the one year I actually hope we finish 9th. That way OKC gets a late Lottery Pick in what is supposed to be a weak draft.

Never looked at it that way but you're right!

It's deja vu all over again. Same story different faces.

Push for 9th, give OKC the pick and rebuild. Bad thing is BC will probably be renewed on the premise that we never made playoffs because of slow start.

[Troubadour]

Yea, 6+ games is a lot. People actually expect us to go on 10 winning streaks and other teams to go on massive losing streaks on the other hand to allow us back in? lol

It's not like we're in the middle of March. There's plenty of time. I'm not counting on it, but there's no point in counting this team out.

Actually, no they don't. That would only put us at 40 wins, which isn't even .500, and a playoff spot will probably require 43-45 wins. The Eastern conference is a lot better than it was in 06-07. We're going to need a .688 winning percentage just to make it back to 41-41 by season's end.

Still in same position. We will probably drop a game tomorrow at San Antonio. Hopefully Jonas V will come back ASAP

Your numbers are off. We need to go 32-22 (.592) rest of the way to reach 41 wins.

The Raptors will be 9-20 after the Spurs game so people on here need psychiatric help if they think they have any chance of making the playoffs this season.

Stranger things have surely happened.

No team is as good as when they are on a winning streak nor as bad as when they are on a losing streak. We aren't a 4-19 team but we aren't as good as the last 5 games have shown. Once this winning streak ends and the high has worn off, we'll comfortably settle into what we are, a dull 25-30 win team that wins 3 or 4 games during every 10 game span with the occasional winning and losing streak thrown in. Rinse and repeat.

[PRESTIGE]

Yoga, I admire your optimism but....

it doesnt matter how many wins or losses we get this season-- we are losing our pick this year to tank next. we can climb the ladder if we want, dont matta
