I hope I am wrong...

Have only seen 2 games so far, since the minny game didn't even really exist with no tv no radio wtf

Team is different but D is still too questionable-

I predict we barely miss the playoffs (I hope I am wrong though)

barring some unforeseen incident, I can't see this team not winning at least 45 games. If everyone is fully healthy and committed to playing hard on both sides of the floor, the Raptors will be successful.

At this point I thought you'd be at the point of hoping to be right.

[Kabookalu]

Hey mayne we're going to be a top 6 defensive team in the league.

[nikeone]

Is this for real?

[RonaldArtest]

Fantastic topic OP....real thought prevoking. Maybe we should wait til we see one regular season game before we judge?

[raps_aviator]

Way too early to make such bold predictions, especially after we made such major deals over the summer. At least give it 10 games into the SEASON (excluding preseason) for the team to gel and than make predictions.

I could see that happening, but how can you make that observation without seeing the "new improved bosh" nor our biggest off season aquisition, Hedo Turkoglu. What if Bosh comes to play with a new found defensive mind set... what if Turk is exactly what Jose and Bargnani needed... I watched those first two games and when its a line up of Q, Weems, Amir, Evans, Rasho, you cant judge anything about this team yet. Arguably our two best players, who play nearly 40 mins a game have not played in those two games,

But what you can take away is, so far, fingers crossed, AB has looked impressive. And although Evans may be trigger happy when he gets a rebound, he may be exactly what we need off the bench.

Plus a couple diamonds in thr rough, to round out a pretty deep roster.

My question marks remain with Jose and our weaknesses at SG.

[C Court]

Yup. You're wrong. We've seen two only games with scrubs playing half the minutes and no Bosh or Hedo.

[BryceMaxJames]

Three games under our belt, new defensive coach, 9 new players equals suspect defence. We will be fine once the the players get fimilar with each other.

[5DOM]

LAWLLLLL
3 Preseason games and the sky is falling!!!!!
Two best players in our team didn't even play when you were watching, and half the time the bench players played.

[Komodo]

Yeah, way too early, attention whore.

[ATLTimekeeper]

Not that pre-season means anything, but we've held the opponent to 40% or less in two of the three games.

[vancityballer]

I hope I am wrong...... but I think the OP forgot to take his meds today. He is on a downer!

Chicken little prognosticating..... glass is half-empty...... Buffalo Bills football..... all these things don't belong on this board.....

Thanks for sharing. But you could've done so in supersub's annual predictions thread.
