      They are on a tear but the Raptors have been pretty good as well. Just have to have hope. Even if Brooklyn manages to out duel Toronto I don't see the Raptors failing to make the playoffs. They may not get the 4th seed (guaranteed seed for winning the division) but they should at least get 7th or 8th.

      Atlanta is 7 games back of Toronto and they are in 8th place. Toronto's making the playoffs.

        I'm not. Even if they were to win the division, I see the worst case scenario being a 1st round matchup with either them or CHI without homecourt. We can still win that series. But they aren't catching the Raps anyways IMO.

          7th or 8th seed is playoff death hence my concerns. Even 6th could be at Brooklyn which will probably be bad for us.

                    • Now I don't feel so bad about jimmy butler blocking demar's last shot. Did the same against lebron today.

                        That's why so many of us criticized that play-call. You don't run one-on-one plays against Jimmy Butler. I even said at the time I wouldn't be comfortable with it even if I had LeBron James...and, well, now we all see why. You either need to run a very solid screened play, or run it with different guys, and use DeMar off the ball even if you want to hopefully get him the shot.

                          That is why so many of continue to have issues with DC in tight games late in the fourth.

                              4 now. i was saying in another thread, at the rate pacers and heat are going and the way we're playing, we could make the 2nd seed!
