A lock? No chanceCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
I'd say they're pretty much a lock to not make the playoffs... Exagerating but think they have little depth and even the starting five you mentioned has some quality but doesn't really scare any of the good teams in the EastComment -
this is the best raptors team in many many yearsComment -
Oh i agree with that and i wish them the best, specially to my boy Landry (knicks fan here), who was one of my favourite knicks recently. hard-working player with high basketball IQ, will help the team a lot in the little thingsComment -
Raps are far from a playoff lock, but I think there is a good chance they will be in the playoff race til the end. Unlike the West, the East is not as deep.Comment -
I'm sorry but Landry Fields is not good. He is not even a good role player. OK, maybe he is hard working and smart, but if those are the first two adjectives you can come up with to promote him, that is a very bad sign. There is not a single aspect of his game that is above average. Scoring, spot shooting, defense, rebounding, etc. He is average or below average in every category.Comment -
The raptors and lock are not words that go together except when fading them.Comment -

these 6 look like a lock to make it. the last 2 spots is up for grabs and I wouldn't be surprised if Toronto sneaked in.Comment -
Thought this Simmons clip was pretty funny.
Toronto going all out for Steve Nash, even giving Landry Fields a $19 million poison-pill contract in a desperate attempt to block New York's rumored Steve Nash trade … only the Lakers snared Nash and poor Toronto was stuck with Fields,
Fields made just 25.6 percent of his 3s last year and had an astonishingly bad 12.0 PER.Comment -
there is a key to every lockComment -
BECause thats what the rock said!Comment -

"Fields can do it all". "Valenciunas is 'elite' ". I feel like I am taking crazy pills.Comment -

those 6 are the lock... and I think Philly or Bucks are more likely to make it than Toronto..Comment -
No chance. Look at their divisionComment -
Lunchbawks...??
UR KIDDING RIGHT ABOUT THAT RAPS THREAD...? RIGHT
if so...you have lost all credibility with me....Comment -
fields is....
derozan.... cant shoot
lowry ...nothing special
valenciunas.... very raw... has a lot of learning to do...
bargnani... one man show, trouble staying healthy
good job toronto. we built a winner. now lets watch all the other teams go after big names and wait for next yearComment -
You guys remember this thread? "Raptors are a lock to make the playoffs" "Fields can do it all"
Whatever happened tot his guy besides losing a lot of money betting on sports?Comment -
yeah, there was too much confidence in raptors before the season. even if all the new faces are good (and bargani comes back) the adjustment period is huge and teams don't just add 10-15 wins over previous season that easily (unless they pick up huge name... and of course i'm doing it from last year's normalized wins)
one thing i will say is i think raptors have had more western road games than any other eastern team.
will be interesting when lowry, bargani come back.Comment -
fields might be the worst player in the NBA. make no mistakes about it.Comment -
SO lunchbawks, you still think the Raptors are a lock?Comment -
3 games back.. Toronto could easily sneak a 6-8 seed, the East sucks this yearComment -
The Raps are a lock to blow as long as Bargnani is on the team. He goes down and what are they since then, like 6-1 or 7-1? Playing great without him plus he called them the worst team in the NBA, coming from a Canadian he needs to goooooo!!Comment -
bargs needs to go for OP to be rightComment -
+1. I swear the Raps are on a mission to prove that Bargs is the reason why they suck. I was watching a game a few nights ago and you could pretty much see the writing on the wall, Amir Johnson and a few others were sitting near him. joking and socializing amongst each other - they acted as if Bargs wasn't even there. Bargs has worn out his welcome.Comment -
raptors have potential but they couldt use it for last 2-3 years. i had been hopeful about some things will change on toronto side, with landry fields and kyle lowry's additions. but a lot of injuries blocked their way.
season is long, they can do it. and i think they must really consider to trade andrea bargnani. he is selfish players, he breaks the teamwork.Comment -
Bargnani is a lock to be traded. Lowry will probably be traded as well.Comment
