    I see a lot of the people who think they'll miss the playoffs avoiding the "seed" question. While they may not make it to the playoff seeding, it would be fun to know if people have an opinion where they'll end up. I mean, if you say something like 30-52, what position in the standings does that put them in?
    I predicted 35 wins (I think they'll tank, but too late - Masai is a conservative value-driven GM - which is good, most of the time - and I don't think he'll execute a tank plan soon enough to do it full-on). I think they end up around 10th or 11th.

      1.) Who will be the most improved Raptor? i.e played here last season

      Fields by a mile. Depends on whether or not they actually fixed his elbow, but he re-grooves his shot and keeps playing with his brain and he will be the most effective guy off the bench

      2.) Pick one guy to be moved at the trade deadline.

      I have to think Gay will be traded for a bad contract, back-up center and picks

      3.) What will the season record be?

      36-46

      4.) Will they make the playoffs?

      No

      5.) What seed will they be?

      N/A

      6.) How far will they go in the playoffs?

      N/A

      7.) Who will the Raptors send to the all star game?

      N/A

      8.) Pick one rotation player that breaks out (guy 1 through 9 on the team)

      JV

      9.) Pick one rotation player who falls completely short of expectations

      Ross

      10.) Will Dwayne Casey be extended?

      Yes

      11.) How many times will Amir Johnson roll his ankle?

      Three times before the all-star break, once after because of reduced minutes

      12.) Who will spend the most time on the bench in a suit due to injury?

      Lowry

      BONUS ROUND

      1.) Surprise mid season pickup?

      Bad contract

      2.) Pick one deep bench guy that breaks out (guy 10 - 15)

      Buycks

      3.) If Dwayne Casey is fired, who will replace him?

      N/A

              The first pre-season game is October 7th. For those who want to enter the beer and wings contest you have until the end of that game. If you are out of town I'll send you a 20 - 30 dollar gift card to a place that sells beer and wings through the wonders of the internet

              ALSO remember to edit your existing post. If you do an all new one I will take the most recent.

              As for things that may be subjective.

              1.) An ankle roll will be judged by RaptorsMR saying he rolled it or if it is mentioned during press time after a game.

              2.) Every rotation player has expectations. Well I agree this is subjective, since it's my 20 bucks, I'll make the call...perhaps after some minor debate.

                  Wanted to bump this thread again.

                  Looks like I was the only guy to predict Lowry over Jonas as most improved.

                            well, so far we have multiple people predicting Toronto will get a 7th seed or better with a sub-.500 record, something that has only happened once in the Eastern Conference in the past decade, so it's not like we don't have our fair share of wacky
                            So who's wacky now?

                              Damn I was (happily) wrong with my T Ross one, but I'll be honest I partly went with it cause it was a funny nickname.

                                Nice call. It's interesting to look back at expectations going into the season.
