I did but I was being realistic with my expectations saying that our chances were slim and the reason why was that, not only did we have to play at a .700 pace but we also had to hope that both the Sixers and the Bucks go on massive losing streaks. That puts more pressure on the Raptors then the Sixers or Bucks. Having said that it looks like our chances of getting that 8th seed look more plausible. We're still 5 games back, which is still a big gap to overcome. If we're 2 to 3.5 games back from the 8th seed then you can count me in as a believer.

Getting into the playoffs would be huge for us. Think of how we started this season 4-19, we were in a real dark place after that portland game. Making a run and getting into the playoffs would give our guys so much optimism going into next season and will make them feel real good about their team.
