Somewhatdamaged/Nolimitz only has two posts--the support Bargs post and its corolloary bash Bosh post (which, strangely, in his mind is another way of supporting Bargs). It's obviously been difficult for the poor guy to get over just how wrong he was on Bargs, Bosh and the future of the team. I kind of pity the lil' fella to be honest with you
Yeah, I never understood why some fans feel the need to do that. I mean why bash our best player?

Well, knowing you've been following me as closely as you have, you'd know better than to say this.
Seriously, get off my dick dude.
Are you under the impression he is fellating you? Because I think you may be mistaken in that sense. Unless you speak of "the bad kind" of dick-riding.

In other words about the same as last year despite two setbacks through injury. I wouldn't be upset, but I still want 50. Thanks for your honest post.

I agree with the OP. I predicated 50 wins before the season and stick to it. According to Hollinger's numbers, we've played the toughest schedule in the entire league with ans SOS of 529. and that number will probably go op with today's game against Portland and the one against Detroit on Tuesday. Not to mention TJ's injury. This team has endured the tough times. We will win 50 games IMO.

Yeah, two severe injuries and Bargnani's regression. That's fairly respectable if you ask me. Especially taking into account a .500 record against the West, wins against Dallas, Houston, NO, and San Antonio, and the fact that by this time last year teams were starting to tank for the Oden lottery so the Raptors had an much easier run to end the year.
The best comment I heard was from Jemele Hill, of all people, who said this team might improve without the record showing it. I think that's pretty much the case this year.

Are you aware Portland won 17 of their last 18? I'm sorry TJ need overruled your senses.
This might be the case, but Calderon played INSANE minutes tonight. We're not winning 50 games unless TJ is back to share the burden, or a decent 3rd PG is found to carry the load if TJ can't make it back soon. Calderon will just get worn to the ground without the help.
On LeBron not committing fouls:
