Nothing has changed with this L streak. 4th seed at worst and a chance to win a round. Thats all we always were.

I'm just grateful we didn't disrupt team.chemistry with a trade that would make us a.better team. It's really paying off and looking the the right decision since the deadline...

Nothing has changed with this L streak. 4th seed at worst and snow balls chance in hell of winning the second round in the foreseeable future. Thats all we always were.

I blame Levbron James an his illuminati voodoo magic. Cavs stole our mojo. Lowry needs time off to heal up and work on his jumper and derozan needs to move to the bench where he can take turns chucking with Lou will...

I don't really understand this fascination of making the 2nd round. Tons of mediocre teams make the 2nd round. But I guess it's something. Organic growth...

Lowry

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

When you are the raptors, the 2nd round is a miracle. Only been there once as a franchise. On the other hand, the mid-late 2000 hawks always got **** for having a 2nd round exit as their ceiling.

Tell me about it. Which is why I've really stopped getting worked up and worried over if they get out of the first round or not. This team is only for real to me if they are conference finalists. This season or next.

Well we are a mediocre team, but even the second round is looking out of reach at this point.

We are blessed to be Fools Gold and have another embarrassing early first round exit to a lower seed
barring an opportunity to face Washington or Milwaukee.

The only blessing we've had for the last 15 years or so is playing in the Eastern Conference which we've failed
to capitalize at miserably.

When you are the Raptors and haven't made it out the first round since 2001 a 2nd round appearance is like the equivalent of a championship, THANK YOU BRYAN.

Well said.

The people who refuse to enjoy this are not Raptor fans. If you can't enjoy the team now, what's the point of ever following them?



I agree. This team is for the "real fans". The ones who watched Milt Palacio & Loren Woods start during the 2003 season.

Was that the year Woods had that early game versus Houston where he looked pretty good against Yao, and optimism for him was never higher? Man we've had some brutal teams.
