yep. hollinger had us with a 90%'ish chance at winning the division just a little while ago. now its down to 78%. still good odds, but plummeting fast.

We are for sure going to lose tomorrow. We have no chance. This was the worst time for DD to get injured man. Typical raptors, we are always soooooo unlucky. Amir is playing like shit and they are going to focus hard on Terrence tomorrow night. So unless Kyle has an unbelievable game it will be over QUICK. We could hardly beat them with DD. Ugh! So frustrating.

I wouldn't be so quick to write us off. People always seem to pick up the slack the first game after an injury. Im more scared we have a letdown in orlando, im really expecting a win tomorrow.

to be fair, we've probably been one of the luckiest in terms of lack of major injuries. its a miracle we haven't had any compared to pretty much every other team.

[The Great One]

Knicks looks so much better with Melo playing PF.

Time for JV to have a breakthrough performance?

[YoungGunRaptor]

Yeah, so many great players have gone down this season, the Raptors have been lucky up to this point. Turkey just had to do one of the biggest no no's in basketball and stick his feet underneath Demar's foot.

Im confident in the rest of the team's ability to step up in the absence of Derozan. Hansborough would be a sight for sore eyes tomorrow. Either way, this game will be huge. We need to win that game and retain that cushion.

Its clear though that we can't lose the 'easy games' any more. No more losses to Boston, Charlotte, or LA.

[GLF]

I hope you guys are right man! Knicks and Nets are coming for us and quick. I still don't have enough faith in our boys.

Knicks have positive PPG differential when Bargs is on the bench.

[e2thed]

Nah we got this division, wait til the New York teams start having losing streaks again, all we need to be is consistent, .500 FTW.

I don't know. I have a good feeling about tomorrow's game actually. Nets are an old team. Tomorrow's game will be the 2nd game of a back to back for them. I think Raps have a legit chance.

[YoungGunRaptor]

Just checked BK's schedule for the next 5 games : After the big game, they face OKC, the Pacers, the Jazz, Spurs, and Pistons

We face Orlando, Denver, Portland,Jazz, and the Kings. Road trip! (After the Kings we face the Clippers.)

Best case scenario: we go 4-1, they go 1-4

Worst case: We go 1-4, they go 4-1

Realistically, we will likely lose to Portland as well as Denver unless Demar comes back and destroys Mozgov at the rim (again).
We're gonna have to watch out for Sacramento. I hope DMC will be out. Then KL can focus on Thomas and our forwards can focus on Rudy Gay. Something tells me Rudy will be looking to have a big game against us. We can't lose the 'easy game' against the Jazz and the Magic.

As for the Nets, lets hope Durant is still in God mode, as well as Paul George. The Spurs-BK game will be held in a museum apparently, with some of the oldest players in the league all under one roof for the evening. (Spurs will likely win. Their antiques are better). They will most likely beat the Jazz and Pistons.


Just my outlook on the next 2 weeks or so. What do you guys think?

[Balls of Steel]

I don't know. I have a good feeling about tomorrow's game actually. Nets are an old team. Tomorrow's game will be the 2nd game of a back to back for them. I think Raps have a legit chance.

Without Demar, I don't think so. I feel that the injuries are starting to really catch up with this team. As for Amir, his inner demons is surfacing yet again. The Nets' defensive rotations are getting better. I see a loss for this one as the Raps goes back to .500.
