My guess is that the Raptors will have a terrible record this season.

you know why the east is so impossible to call--because you have so many young guys who can break out.

If chris bosh continues at a 20-10 pace from the 4--are the raptors going to be a poor team with carter rose marshall etc... i counted them out as well, but they sure started impressively. This is an example of what i meant by more eastern confernce teams having depth--wash orlando toronto all showing signs-- even boston could be 2-0 right now if they didnt fold in the middle of the 4th q 2 games in a row.

Agreed, the East is going to be tight. But instead of 2-0, Boston is now 0-2. Toronto has impressed me so far. I'm not sold on Washington or Orlando at all though. Orlando got two lucky wins over bad teams. Washington had two solid wins, one over the Bobs and one over a Memphis team that seems to be losing its identity from last year (I think Stro Swift being a lame duck for them this year will KILL them).

I think Philly looks very good so far, as does Cleveland (albeit in two losses).

So, yeah, its going to be fun.

Look at what the Bobcats are doing to Orlando. They built the team the right way, they built it starting on the frontline. You have two guys who will clog the lane, get high% shots and rebound the ball. when you are able to clog the lane alter shots-rebound+get high% shots on the O you are going to win games. i dont know who t fudge evaluated Brezec's talent on Indiana, but its fair to say they got it wrong.
