Yeah it appears that they will. The 76er's build their hopes on Bynum and last time we saw Bynum he was still healing from injury on the bench and his hair went from this:
to this:
All kidding aside, T. Young has been injured during their latest losing skid so when he comes back which should be soon they should go back to their winning ways. The Raptors should be neck and neck with the 76'ers for that meaningless 9th spot in the East. Too early to say about the 8th, but if the Raptors win another 17 games out of the remaining 29 I think they should be there.
Who cares?
I want a top 8th seed.

Let's see here; they face the Heat's big three tomorrow in Philly, then the next day they travel to New York to face another elite team trying to avoid its 5th straight loss.
The Raptors will probably have the 9th spot before they even hit the court on Monday.
Bargnani is asked how he gets beat on the boards.
"Being lazy maybe," he says. "That's the only reason it can be. I've got the body, I've got everything to take 10 rebounds a game. It's just sometimes I get lazy."
I'm not sure whether they get the 9th seed within the next 5 games, but I'd be surprised if they finished the season 10 or lower. I say 75% 9th, 15% 8th and 10% 10th.

Philly lost tonight. Just half a game back now...Don't think the 9 seed is an issue. 8 is the goal and will be tough.
tight game with ATL and MIL right now.. MIL up 5 in the 4th
redick started off cold but has made some key plays to give them the lead
oops, just realized there is a thread for this game
yes. 9th place is our sweet spot.
bucks loss makes us i think 3.5 games back of 8th
Clearly now Bucks is the team to beat, man March 2nd @ Milwaukee is genna be HUGE (probably at that time we could make it at ONE game back of 8th)
4 games back I believe
Don't forget Detroit, they're tagging along right behind us.
Hopefully BC's master plan of Jose the double agent works
TORONTOOOOOO RAPTORSSSSSS
NEVER FORGET... NUMERO OCHO 👌 #saluteJose
Lol yes you did HawksAtlanta Hawks @ATLHawks
Apparently we pleased a lot of #Raptors fans tonight. #RTZ...until we play you.
This seems about right... I'm clinging to the 15% though.
I don't see the Knicks losing a fifth straight game, at home, against the sixers.
We'll probably be moving up the standings by the end of tonight.

Forget about Philly they are done. Jason Richardson is done for the season and for that matter Bynum probably is too. Add to that the 3 games they have left against Miami and its golf season for the Sixers. Detroit are struggling and their schedule of western conference teams are still to come (San Antonio, Clippers, Utah, Golden State) For that matter so does Milwaukee with Oaklahoma twice, Clippers, Denver, Golden State and the Lakers still left to play. This race is going to come down to our head to head matchups with Milwaukee.
Assuming the Raptors beat the teams they are 'suppose' to beat, very much agreed.
