Our Raptors might miss the playoffs because they have gone long stretches this season playoff with no heart or effort at all, especially on the defensive end. There have been a few shining lights (Jack, Weems), but most of the team has not shown me they have any pride or character.

Golden States, Sacramento and few other winnables are going to haunt us. <br /><br />When you look back at the past 70+ games, they took pretty good care of those sub-0.500 teams — but few screw ups proved to be costly.<br /><br />0.500 team simply cannot afford to lose those types of the games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-43713070595441990892010-04-09T11:30:15.399-04:002010-04-09T11:30:15.399-04:00I always want to make the effort to make the post ...I always want to make the effort to make the post season. I just think fans deserve that. However given what has happened to the Raptors even with the "Effort" it may not matter at this point. If there was more EFFORT earlier in the season on some nights you are not in this spot to begin with. Which is what is mean in saying the Raptors Screwed the Raptors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949252276261906672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-24134003016959953002010-04-09T11:25:22.465-04:002010-04-09T11:25:22.465-04:00Dunno.

In a way that just making playoffs becomes a benchmark of a successful season for years to come. <br /><br />I am afraid that this will indeed be the case, and while we may lose Bosh (most likely), the season is not going to be considered complete disaster, as we "qualified" for the playoffs.<br /><br />Losing CB4 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
