It will be a good season from the Raptors. I hope for a 2nd round birth and they have a chance against anyone in the east aside from the Celtics. Truthfully, assuming O'Neal is back to decent form, this team is still about a piece away from being a championship contender. A good swing man who can beat defenders off the dribble and hit a mid-range shot is a desperate need for this team that hopefully can be filled via the upcoming draft or free agency 09.
On another note....did anyone catch Steve Nash's comments on becoming a Raptor next year? Interesting comments, and Colangelo would have to do some fancy cap work, but man oh man Nash in Raptor red would look good!
