Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
I think the Raptors make it past the 1st if they get matched up with Boston or Orlando. Anyone else and they're going home early again


Yeah, it's going to take them playing the Celtics, Magic or Pistons to make it out the first round, their best bet against a higher seeded team is the Hawks.

They don't want a 4 vs 5 matchup with the Pacers :whoa:

I just don't see it with the Raps, their backcourt is the biggest issue they're too reliant on two dudes that aren't really that great. Like, if they were in a series with the Pacers, do you really want to put money on them?

The Heat play some great defense, their offense is :ld: but I feel they'd be able to grind out a series vs them Raps :yeshrug:


I'm with you in some ways.....but I disagree with your pacers comment.

If they were in a series with the Pacers the Pacers front court would get torched and Derozan probably goes to the line a 10-15 times a game.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
You like overpaying for Carroll ? You like Scola as ur starting PF ? At best his two better moves are wait and see at this point CoJo and Bismack...if we agree this another 1 and done team how in th hell do you like what he's done ?

Well because you skipped over me saying that I like the guys that aren't playing and their future potential.

Carroll ....I understand but I don't think the plan is for him to retire a Raptor. He's a placeholder until Bruno is ready.

The 4 spot is obviously your weak link. It's damn near impossible to correct every hole on your roster in one off-season.


Paying Ross was silly and paying Demar the max this summer will be as equally retarded BUT if Powell, BeBe, Delon and Bruno work out you won't be complaining.

I'd pick Indy if they had HC...

The Raptors don't really use their frontcourt, and the matchups with the Pacers going small with PG at PF would be a bit too much for them. I would think George Hill would do a better job of slowing Lowry down than Caroll, Ross, or Demar could do on Paul.

Problem is the 4 been an issue for now 3 seasons and he still ain't fixed it.. instead he drafted horribly at positions we don't need help ie PG...let's be reality Bruno is 3 yrs away from being any kind of rotation player...

Those other guys are not even 50/50 to stick in this league and worse they'll never get a shot here because Casey and masai don't realize this core isn't good enough...

Bulls lost to the Nets at home. Were you laughing that night?
Oh wow cherry picking losses now :rolleyes:

You want to play that game?

How about the Bulls beating Cleveland, Spurs, Clippers, Griz, Thunder twice, Raptors twice, etc

But no, let's cherry pick 1 bad loss :francis:

You're a damn fool putting the Raptors over the Bulls. Bulls have beat them like what, 8 straight now? Raptors have been a continual 1st round disappointment and here you are elevating to second best in the conference? :heh:
