If that happens, you don't face us in the playoffs, genius.

Dear RapsGotThis,

First of all, you cannot concur with yourself.

Concur means to agree. Or are you agreeing with the fact that he told you you are wrong?

Second of all, you are wrong, on many levels (check the standings, remaining games, and tiebreakers carefully and come back).

Last but not least, I don't think it is wise to make post-game threads on other teams' forums.

Yours truly,

Normal Raptors Fan

Way to make a fool of yourself. :rofl:

Anyway, I hope your & Ross' wish is granted & we meet in the 1st round.

With the way the Knicks are playing, I don't think Toronto wins tonight. In fact, I think the fall to the fourth and Nets stay at 5th and they meet. Raptors are certainly less of a worry than the Bulls.

I take that roster very seriously. Their record is not a fluke, they are a good team.

yup...and everyone wants to quote our record since january 1st... theirs is just as good. we arent a better team, its extremely even and they have home court and their best play owns our best play pretty much every time we meet.

They are only good at one thing and it's shooting threes. They rank 20th in every other offensive category. We actually have more wins against + .500 teams than they do in the new year.

We flat out should handle this team with all due respect to them. No excuses. They are a good team but this team wasn't put together to lose to the Raptors or Rose and Deng-less Bulls.

We are the last team who should call anyone out for being too reliant on 3 point shooting. they have a better SRS then us (even if you only count from 2014 on) and have a higher ranked offense and defense (even if you only count from 2014 on).

they have battled us to pretty much 1 possesion games in every one of our matchups, and they are a bad matchup in that we rely on points off turnovers and they dont turn it over.

We also suck on the road and have struggled to beat the knicks and magic let alone the raps

it would be an upset if we won. not a big one, but they should be favored to win the series. to think we should handle them is homerific

The Raps are 1 of only 4 teams that is in the top 10 in both defensive and offensive rating. The other 3 are SA/OKC/LAC; 3 bonafide contenders. Since the Rudy Gay trade, they've played at a 55 win pace. It's okay to be more wary of the Bulls, but don't underestimate the Raps; we have a very good team.

We are favored to win this series. How is it an upset if we win?

We are reliant on threes because we lost Brook Lopez. That's all. Sorry but this team simply wasn't put together to lose to inexperienced teams. If they lose again in a series people will have them favored in, there is no excuse for any of them which my point. It's not homerfic whatsoever.

I'm aware of all that. I do have great respect for the Raps. They are the what Denver used to be under George Karl but this team talked all summer about let's get to the playoffs healthy and face Miami or Indiana. Losing to any team in the first round that isn't Miami or Indiana should be considered an embarrassment. That's all I'm saying.

we are only favored due to popularity. we shouldnt be favored. if we win, its a mild upset. especially considering no HCA and us being a bad road team

i dont see how its relevant as to WHY we are reliant on threes. the fact remains that we are reliant on them. thus criticizing another team for that seems pretty silly.

there is no excuse. which is why its going to be a s*** show once it happens

being an embarrassment is nothing new for this team.

we have underachieved and played horrific uninspired ball since deron has come here

Your very unbiased, one of the few on realgm. I think you guys are favored though because of your veteran experience. At the end of the day there seems to be this idea that experience>youth and whether that's correct or not remains to be seen.

Studies have been done to show experience is not as a big factor as one would think. That being said if we do meet it'll be a hell of a series, best one in the 1st round and there should be a lot of hate between both teams because of the history and how all the games have gone this year.

I just dont want Miami in the 2nd round if we're getting you guys in the 1st round. If we make it out I want Indiana and idk why Nets are overconfident thinking they can beat us and Miami. Indy would be more favorable for anyone in the east at this point.

Dan2087 · Post #19 » by **Dan2087** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 8:29 pm

I don't think there is an easy series to be had in the first round for either of us. I fully expect a 6-7 game series against you guys if it comes down to that. I give you guys the edge because of experience - it will be a whole new experience for all of our key players

Should be fun to watch regardless of who either of us plays against
