Raptors fan here. The title says it all - I admire your team. You guys aren't the most talented or experienced team in the league, but you have tons of heart. I wish the Raptors could learn a thing or two from the Thunder.

May the ping pong balls bounce in our favour!

Thanks for the kind words. The only thing to look at right now is the potential and effort this team is putting in. Nothing else is worth a whole lot. Just trying to see what lineups and players work best so that the team can make the best decisions in the offseason.

The Raptors are kind of in a critical point right now. They have some solid pieces that could really form a good team, but they've also got a couple of awkward situations which could turn everything sour. Hopefully they'll be able to navigate the storm and come out a great team on the other side.

Yeah the Thunder are going to be awesome, they are going to have a high pick this season and two next season again if they choose to tank and its likely the Suns are going to bomb and head down to the lottery too. Imagine this:
Griffin
Green
Durant
Thabo
Westbrook
Next season and this after
???
Griffin/Green
Durant/Green
???
Westbrook/Wall

I'm thinking you guys have a pretty solid future. Durant is going to age like a fine wine, and as his game matures he's going to be a wicked player, pretty much doing as he likes on a nightly basis.

Green is valuable, Westbrook is valuable, even Krstic is valuable going forward. A young team with everything to prove, and talent to make some noise going forward.

As a Raps fan, I'm hoping your Thunder win tonight. Make it a great basketball game, but please take the win. It's all about draft lottery position people! Raps are creeping up on New York!!! :lol:
