Sorry, Air Canada's only on a one-way trip to the worst record in the league...... and the 5th draft pick.

[CeltsGarlic]

I dont think tanks fly, doe

The first part isn't even remotely true, which is actually making me mad. I want them to tank hard.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

They do when their surroundings are more dense than they are.

[Mr. Jabbar]

ill be driving my car, thanks anyway

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Agreed.

[Real Men Wear Green]

As of right now they can have it.

[DirkNowitzki41]

I'm in :rockon:

I hope they get Wiggins though

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Thank you whoever cleaned my thread of Fresh Kid :applause:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

You sure? Would love to have you aboard.

That pic is like at least 10 years ago.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

That pic is like at least 10 years ago.
Doesn't matter. Needed a plane with a Raptors logo.

[No Evans!]

Do we have to go through customs to get on board?

Please win tonight and please win the division

[RoundMoundOfReb]

All 4 teams in the Atlantank division lost today :applause:

[avonbarksdale]

raptors stay winning

[MMM]

Atlantic division where tanks can fly
:roll: :roll: :roll:

Division is gonna come down to Boston, Philly, and Toronto

The Celtics need to tank harder if they want a good pick and not accidently make the playoffs.

[Legends66NBA7]

Is that really the plane the Raptors fly on ?

Even when their losing. :oldlol:

This might be the worst division since the inception of the 6 division concept.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Maybe. It looks old though. I just googled "raptors airplane".

probably the worst division in North American sports
maybe the NFC west a few years ago is comparable

[Legends66NBA7]

I did the same thing.

If it's not, I would book to be on that flight any time when I'm out of the country.

Titanic division. Not one winning team.

Yes we do!

[noob cake]

Yes we do!

Lakers would gladly take the 4th seed and take the non-lotto pick penalty.

[Legends66NBA7]

Is it safe to ask if the Raptors can break their record for wins in a season this year?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Is it safe to ask if the Raptors can break their record for wins in a season this year?
No way we win 48 games :oldlol:

[Mr. Jabbar]

Yes we do!

well, full thrust then, clear skies ahead

[MMM]

:bowdown:

7-9 might get someone into the playoffs this season as well. Although probably as a WC in the AFC

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Yeah AFC is weak. NFC is like the NBA west. Stacked.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Clear skies ahead.

[imdaman99]

Nice :applause: so you DO talk about the Raptors. I stand corrected :bowdown:

[Pra]

:roll:

[alenleomessi]

even OP could be wrong :oldlol:

[R.I.P.]

Nets and Knicks fans. No reason to panic we make the play-off by winning the crappy Atlantic division. Now 5 1/2 and 6 games behind the Raptors. :oldlol:

At least Nets fans have the Horford injury to make themselves feel a bit better. The swap might suddenly not be a top 8 pick for the 20th pick, but rather the 8th for the 12th pick.

[hawkfan]

hawkfan Trade Scenario (where big is big):

Cavs get

Grevis Vazquez (expirer)
Chuck Hayes
2nd round pick

Raptors get

Andrew Bynum (team option)

The Cavs get a big in Hayes to help out the front court, and Vazquez to help at the point guard with ball distribution. They also get a 2nd round pick. Next year, they can take their own second round pick and the Raptors pick and package it to move into the first round in the 18-30 pick range.

The Raptors get Bynum for a push into the playoffs. He has knee injuries, so he plays every other day.

The Hawks are still gonna make the playoffs.
Milsap-Teague-Korver-Williams will get us in.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Raps on pace for 46 wins.

[kaiteng]

Raps on pace for 46 wins.
And, according to Hollinger's Formula, Raps are 100% in the playoff.

:rockon: :cheers:

[LeBron 06]

No way we win 48 games :oldlol:


Why not!

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Why not!
I said that before we got rid of Rudy Gay...

Damn seems like Philly has won 5 games since this

[Legends66NBA7]

Raptors would have to go 16-9 the rest of the way to get to 48. I'd say 50 is in range too.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Barring a collapse it looks like the Raptors will win the division. Need to close out the year 5-2 to break the franchise record for wins.

[avonbarksdale]

brooklyn might still snake us

[smoovegittar]

Happy for Raptor fans. Hope this team makes noise in the playoffs. :applause:

[20Four]

The only air canada I know is VINCE CARTER when he was with the RAPS....

To get on topic...I'm glad the RAPS are in the playoffs

[Legends66NBA7]

The Flight shall commence.

[Legends66NBA7]

The Finishing touches.

We weren't even supposed to be 2nd in the Atlantic. We were supposed to go into tank mode once we got rid of Gay and then potentially Lowry too. Same thing Chicago was doing with Luol Deng. Instead, both rose up and got the 3-4 seeds.

[avonbarksdale]

yay raptors

[kNIOKAS]

Who have thought it would happen?? Very big surprise coming from (c)Raptors.
