The Toronto Raptors are the #3 Seed in the 2014 NBA Playoffs

To get better as a team, you have to face the best competition possible. Brooklyn is going be tough, but we have shown we are just as good, if not better. They will live up to the challenge.

1 Chicago made free throw in regulation from facing The Whiz and then The Pacers. :nonono:

If anything, this "rebuild" will be faster knowing we have a playoff caliber team.

It's like some fans think that the East will get crazy better just because Milwaukee, the 6ers, the Celtics and the Magic will have 4 lottery pick players in an overrated draft.

Have no idea what is overrated about the draft.

Playing the Wiz/Bobcats & then Pacers, or playing the Nets and then Miami? This series will challenge us to the max but we'll learn a ton from it & if we can keep this core together a lot of organic growth will occur. We gotta unleash Ross because I see him as the X factor who'll respond when Brooklyn's vets get amped up. If we battle hard we should get Miami and that's great practice in case we face them again in a championship run in 2 years.

For sure. I feel losing to a team whose back court pretty much counters our back court will be a good learning experience. Not to say we're going to lose, gonna be one hell of a series in my opinion.

Dog I can't believe the playoffs are almost here, I'm soooooo pumped right now. Gotta get reservations at realsports for Saturday ASAP.

Comparing it to 1984, 1996 and 2003 drafts...

I'd say it's the best since 2003 in any case.

Anybody know what the lowest possible pick the Raptors get. Is it #17 or #19 if PHX wins #1,#2 or #3 with their #14 pick

Raps lost
Wizards won
Nets lost

...

BULLS LOST

3/4. So close yet so far. So close to winning a championship. Oh well.

Nets are going to get killed. If only they matched up with Chicago, then Miami, they would have had a chance! Too bad for them.

First we sent you Bargnani to lose Melo this summer and after this series send the rest of New York golfing.
