The Raptors do have a nice balance of talent...but I still see this team ending up within a couple games of .500. They'll make the playoffs, but won't really challenge for homecourt.
Look at the Raptors' division.... being a couple of games over .500 may win the Atlantic and land the #3 seed. After the top 4 or 5 teams, it drops off so even barely landing that seed would mean playing a team from 6-8 would be a pretty even matchup that could just as easily lead to the 2nd round. I'm not saying this is the Raptors, but name one team from the Atlantic that legitimately deserves to be held in a higher regard. I predicted 42-40 and a low playoff seed, but like I said above, this could actually be enough for home court if the #6 team has the3 same record or lower (entirely possible).
