Toronto's starting to pick up

[Blue56]

They started 6-22 and now have won 5 straight. I'm kind of surprised. They've haven't beaten any really strong teams but they're winning.

Still with that lineup im suprised... Mike James has stepped it up....

[renuszm]

I watched most of last nights game, this team looks completely different then what it looked like at the beginning of the year. Chris Bosh deserves to be all star, Mike James has been a spark plug, Mo Pete is playing his heart out (seems like for the first time in his career) Jalen Rose is still struggling, so hopefully we can find a taker for him soon. Best case scenario: we're this years Bulls and we find a way to get into the playoffs. Worst case scenario: we miss the playoffs, but we get this team ready for next year.

Bosh has been great this year. I wonder if he will stick around Toronto after his contract expires or move on.

I think he is as good as gone... Honestly i CAN see him in LA with Kobe and Phil...

[MarkPope]

He would be GREAT in LA with Kobe. I'd never really thought about that, and I hope he doesn't go there, but you're right. He would be fantastic there.

[lal4l]

Phil got fined by the league Mark about a month or so back saying he would be a greeat fit and when he ops out of his contract that would be someone that they will really look at.

Kobe, Bosh, and Odom would be a championship contender no doubt with phil at the sidelines....

Cause we will have enough money for max contracts then...

[MarkPope]

That is a great call. I hadn't considered those three. Did you see Mo Pete get tossed the other night?

No what ended up happening? I know he has been playing very aggresive...

[MarkPope]

Vince fake slapped him (playful b/c they were teammates), then Mo Pete fake slapped him back (again playful). The ref (javvey) saw Mo Pete slap Carter and threw him out. Carter was telling the ref he was wrong, but he wouldn't reverse it. The ref looked like a HUGE idiot.

[lal4l]

HAHA so Carter actually tried telling the ref it was a joke? That is messed up hahahaah but kinda funny

[Timberwolf]

Raptors has made progress in my opinion.

Their young players (Bosh, Villaneuva, Calderson) have gotten better and better. That's a good thing for a bad team because you know there's hope. At least, Raptors fans have that going. Timberwolves fans can't say the same thing. I think Sam Mitchell has done a great job molding his players which should be a good case for him to stay on.

[renuszm]

Actually, Villaneuva and Calderon havent done much in this winning streak. The Raptors progress has come through Bosh becoming an all star, Mike James playing like an all star, and Mo Pete playing the best basketball of his life

[lal4l]

Is Mo Pete going for Most Improved?
