    On this site maybe. I really hope you don't base all of your "facts" on information gathered solely from here.

    Another win last night. I have never followed the Raptors like this before. Looking for only their second division title in history.

    It'll be nice to finally have something other than hockey to follow in the winter

    It sure didn't start as a year to follow. The season started with poor results and confusing direction as where the team was headed. A few trades involving sending their most skilled player for a bunch of bench players, finally signaled a direction of losing, to get one of next years top prospects. All of a sudden, the team starts playing together, passing the ball and have put together a 14-6 run since the trade. They are playing great ball, it's exciting to see everyone knocking down shots. Raptors are truly one of the best "teams" in sports right now and I would recommend any fan to check them out.

    Kyle Lowry - yes, having a great season, which hopefully signals a breakthrough for years to come.......but don't underestimate the influence of Valanciunas in all of this. His steady improvement and increasing dominance could soon make him one of the premier big man in the NBA, and we can forget about his recent game against the Clippers.

    Another nice 'controlled' win tonite in Utah. Raps are really starting to show confidence in each other as a team. Unfortunately, "Kyle Lowry, Kyle Lowry" left the game in the fourth with a knee injury - prognosis unknown. He is very much needed against the offensive power of the Kings and the Clippers.

    Magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 6.

    Good start against Phoenix. Looking forward to attending next Sunday against the Hawks.

    Glad you had a good time at the Raptor Mascot Returns game. It was a frustrating game too watch for three quarters though. Somehow, led by of course Lowry and some key shots by Derozan, the Raps come back and win. It's exciting stuff, that's for sure.

    While nobody at MLSE would admit this, the best thing that could happen to the Raptors is that they make the playoffs, as it appears that they will, and the Leafs don't. That would at least give them the sports spotlight to themselves in Toronto which has been difficult for them to have over the years.

    Interesting thought. I definitely have noticed the Raptor bandwagon growing as of late. Making the playoffs and capitalizing on the popularity surge will result in more season tickets and a healthier franchise.

    That was the type of gutsy win you would expect from a very experienced team like the Nets. They played hard and won despite being really banged up physically, especially Lowry - the Nets did quite a number on him in game 3. Then they didn't back down but played tight defence in the fourth, despite 4 starters being in foul trouble.

    Really don't care about basketball but it is nice to see a Raptor team that everyone was writing off come back and do what they are doing. Good for the city. If they move on I may try to watch a little. I just prefer to watch NHL playoffs.

    Just saw something on the CBC's crawl about how the Raptors' coach had to take the subway to the game today because of traffic issues in Toronto. Heaven forbid!
