Raptors finally get a win.
Trust the Process in Philly?
I watched the game: the Raptors actually played very hard and really wanted that win. They are simply missing two of their best players: once they return Toronto will start winning and pulls away from the Jazz. They have a much more experienced and talented team.Raptors finally get a win.
Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit are like 5-10 good games away from really distancing themselves from us if we can hold up our end of the tank.TOR wins by 11
CHI wins/DET loses by 10
Was loses by 28
Pretty good day for the tank
Unfortunately it looks like Washington is in a class of it's own for the tank race. They are truly awful and I don't know how they get better, in fact they are likely to get much worse once Poole starts regressing to his normal shooting numbers.Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit are like 5-10 good games away from really distancing themselves from us if we can hold up our end of the tank.
If we end up anywhere from 2-4 I feel like its a win. Toronto has played a lot of close games and has been injured. So maybe? I'm less worried about where we finish 2-4 than I am about ending up 5/6 cuz we win like 4 out of 5. We have a stretch with a handful of games I am slightly concerned about winning and it will likely determine how great/poor I feel about where we are by the play in break. Dropping both SA games would be amazing but we likely split them.Unfortunately it looks like Washington is in a class of it's own for the tank race.

I think we are right there with Toronto who looks like our biggest competition for the two spot.
We just need to make sure that we keep out of the next group where I think 4-8 could all have very similar records and only separated by a couple of games. That is the group that likely regrets winning games in November at the end of the year.
If you gave me the fourth spot right now I would take it without thinking too hard about it.
Yes. I think we have a real shot at 2nd... would be the fav for 3 right now but I'm still worried Will works his magic and wins 4 out of 5 and we end up 6th for no reason at all. I don't think the vet trades will be available... but maybe we milk some injuries real hard in the spring.Fourth best odds, I assume?
I won't be too disappointed at fourth best odds, but I think we have a great chance at 2nd or 3rd currently.
