You don't see Knicks fans laughing at themselves as a defensive mechanism. They might never win a championship, but their fan base ain't losers.

The fact that so many raptors fans are willing to do this is pathetic. You might think you laughing at yourself makes u more likable to the rest of the league... But they are probably viewing us as jokes right now.

Counter argument:

Raps in 4


You just can't refute that argument. 8-)

The Knicks fan base is one of the worst. Anyone who goes in from an outside fan base and criticizes them automatically gets flamed. You're just mad because the raptors beat the knicks twice this year, and your star player marshmelo couldn't do a thing about it.

Kenyon Martin is your saviour :lol: :lol:

Unsatisfied by the weak level of competition in today's NBA, Aaron Gray will use his stratospheric basketball IQ and hustle to create a time machine and bring back a team of all of the NBA's greatest ever players, before blowing them out by 200 points. Subsequently, the other 29 teams contract out of fear.

The playoffs are where you're going to see Bargnani shine. He was made for that stage.

Tacoma wrote:You guys are funny... BUT...

If (and that's a big huge "if") the Raptors were to make the playoffs, that likely means they're at around .500 winning % at season's end. To get to .500, they would have to go 18-8 or win about 70% of their remaining games.. Only MIA, OKC and the Spurs have better than .700 winning percentage.

Therefore, joke all you want, but if they can play at .700 pace for the rest of the season, that'd mean the Gay led team is that good and their chances of beating MIA would as good as, if not better than, any other Eastern team of beating MIA.


The team that has grabbed the 8th seed in the East has been below .500 for 6 of the last 10 years. The Bucks schedule down the stretch isnt favourable. The team that gets in this year will probably get in with 39 wins (at least thats my projection). The Raps will need to go 16-10 down the stretch to get there.....thats a .650 winning %. Difficult to do but not out of the question. That said, theres a difference between playing .650 ball for a couple months vs playing that over an entire season. If the Raps make the playoffs, they should be viewed as a .500 team, not .650.
