Spurs and Magic or Boston. That's pretty much what I see since their offseason will dictate their post season success.

Dwight doesn't have to guard Bargs on the perimeter. He hasn't in the past, why would he start now? If Bargs is content to sit at the three point line and settle for jump shots, the Magic will put a different player on him, and Dwight will guard Bosh or whoever else we stick under the basket. If we choose to stick nobody under the basket (like in the 08 playoffs), we'll be lucky to win one game against them. You can't beat the Magic if you settle for jumpers.

Orlando for Vince.

Otherwise, my other favourite team has always been the Bulls - followed Mike since I was a kid. It was when the Raptors finally came around that I jumped ship.

Any team that LeBron or Wade would potentially sign with in 2010 I want to see FAIL miserably. Supporting Phoenix

Jazz cus D-will is sick, Heat cus wade is fun to watch and Magic cus i wanna see how far they will really go without Hudo. I'll be keeping tabs on the spurs tho i think their very capable of winning it all once again.

Raps...only the Raps... But if the Raps get knocked out of the playoffs, then any underdog team.

What's not to like? What's to hate? What? You sit here and say oh, BC, please Bosh by signing this guy and that guy so he won't leave. Imagine what BOSH would have done if BC drafted Araujo and signed the guy he hated most in the league (Alston) in the same offseason, and the organization didn't even talk to him before hiring a moron to be the GM. Carter was patient, but management, Peddie, Babcock ect were morons, and eventually got to the point of disrespecting him. He didn't need it, he asked out.

On the day before he was traded, he asked to come off the bench with Milt because Rafer was freezing him out on offense. Yeah, people resent him for avging 15 points per game in his last season, but do you remember how many games he spent the 4th quarter on the bench because Mitchell had taken a personal animosity towards him?

Mitchell, Alston, Babcock, Hoffa... Carter's 4 biggest problems with this team. Also his wife was preasuring him to move south. So, you have a completely moronic organization who won't make one right move, won't include him in any deccisions.. say what you will but the Raptors screwed up. Carter went on to have 5 great seasons in NJ and last year he was a true leader of a team that was built to suck like hell. I have nothing but respect for him, and nothing but this message for those who blindly hate him: What did he do.. really? Get injured? Quit?... Bosh just coasted through 50 games because of a baby he had... and it was quite obvious he was just going through the motions... and Bosh isn't half the player Carter was at one point..nor is he half the star.
