The Raptors been moving the ball like the 86 Celtics, DeRozan's playmaking & draining 3's like James Harden now, Ibaka has found the fountain of youth & OG Anuoby is the most slept on rookie in the League. :banderas:

Get in here brehs. Raps in 4 @Supreme Leader Reinscarf @Miggs @trick @CantStop :blessed:

If Lowry finally enters the playoffs healthy. Watch out. :wow:

Who cares who the 2nd best team is in December. And why brag about being 2nd anyway? You're proud of losing in the conference finals? The Celtics are building something bigger than this season. The fact that we're sitting atop the East in the standings with one of the star players out for the year, a bunch of nagging injuries, and an average age of under 25 is just the icing on the cake.

You will back to 3rd very shortly,once you start hitting the west coast trips,we already done did both of them and are half a game back...

Say what you want about the playoffs right now in December,were taking the 1st seed in the new year...

1. I don't care. HCA means nothing. The best teams in the Playoffs always win on the road.
2. The Celtics are already facing a grueling stretch with a bunch of games crammed in a short period of time. Played 5 more games than the Raptors to this point (still only have 1 more loss) They get two big breaks in January, and the all star break in February. They play considerably less games in those months than they did in November and December
3. The Raps aren't exactly a team that strikes fear in people's hearts in April/May.

Im so sick of the trash ass raptors and their fans. They disappoint in the playoffs every year. Just stop.:dahell:
Over the past 10 years how many different eastern teams have made it to the finals?

Raps are nabbing that 1st seed & are a genuine threat in the East this year health permitting. They've completely retooled their iso-centric offense to incorporate more ball movement & a lot of their players have improved this offseason. This team couldn't be any more different from the previous versions.

Claiming you're young seems like you're already pre-emptively copping pleas for when they give y'all that work in the postseason. :usure:

Or it could be the fact that they ARE young. That's a fact my nikka. It makes their start to this season that much more impressive. The Raptors core has been together for years, is comprised of mostly veterans, and yet they're playing catch up to a team starting a 19 and 21 year old with multiple rookies in the rotation. Which team has more upside? It's not even a debate.

What makes me laugh is most of y'all said the Celtics without Hayward wouldn't be a factor. Y'all have no authority to speak on this team. They've already shut you nikkas the fukk up and it's only gonna get worse from here.

Edit: I love how you're talking "if healthy". The C's aren't even healthy, haven't been all year and yet they're number 1 in the East. Talk to me when the Raps maintain a 75% winning rate with one of Lowry or Derozan out for the year.
