Yeah, that would be huge. I don't think they'll catch Cleveland - the Cavs' schedule is just too light and Cleveland has the tiebreaker - but Chicago is definitely a possibility with road games in Washington and NJ. Even if they can pass Chicago, that could end up making a difference in the second or third rounds.

I'm just hoping the Raptors end up playing Washington in the first round. I'm pretty confident Toronto can beat an Arenas-less Wizards club.

Rap's are playing Carter and the Nets in the first round! Man I hope they wipe the floor with him

Oh man, the raptors couldn't have asked for a better match up in terms of hype and ticket sales.

Go Raptors!

Just hard foul Wince once or twice and he will be gone for the remainder of the series with a hangnail.

Hype yes, ticket sales...no. Tickets were sold out last week in a matter of a minute and they're harder to get than Leafs tickets during the playoffs. It's really a nice run they're having. And yes, I agree with Vince. Send Slokar out as a headhunter to give him a hard elbow and he'll be gone with cracked (bruised) ribs. I can't hardly wait to see if Toronto whoops him, his face in the parking lot out here.

I would have rather seen them play Washington, but they should be able to handle NJ fairly handily, too. All they've got to do is hold home-court against a weaker team, something they've done almost flawlessly in the second half of the season. Interesting that on ESPN, four of five critics are picking NJ. Which is good for the Raps, as they seem to take a lot of pride in proving critics wrong.

To all the Raptor Fans I recommend you download this video

If you don't have bit torrents or don't know how to use it send me a pm with your msn and I will send you the video. I believe its quicktime format or something like that, I used VLC media player to view it. Its a great video about the turn around about the franchise.

Cheers all

I know Raptors at 10:30am and Flames @ 1pm.

I'm so pumped and my Saturday, is shot. Thank god the weather is awful.

[FlamesFanInEdm]

Man i can only wish i could watch them both! However, I have a huge diferential equations final on Saturday at 2:00. Sometimes, being in engineering is brutal, I don't think any other faculties here at the UofA have finals on Saturdays. I'm going have to sacrifice some last minute cramming to watch the end of the Raptors game at least lol.

Sam Mitchell is Coach of the Year.

Mitchell won the Red Auerbach Trophy in a decisive vote over Utah's Jerry Sloan. He picked up 49 first-place votes for a total of 394 points in balloting by 128 basketball writers and broadcasters. Sloan had 301 points followed by Dallas' Avery Johnson with 268.

14-12 Raps after one. Missing open shots like crazy for both sides, still, they are getting good looks so it should improve.

[CaramonLS]

Holy **** that was a great game. Back and forth, lead changes, what a battle for the entire night.

Parker stepped up huge.

[KTown]

Raptors need to steal a game in Jersey to pull this thing out. I just don't see them winning 3 in a row.

GO RAPS GO!
