    Toronto games left:

    5 Fri @ Chicago 8:30 pm
    7 Sun Indiana 5:30 pm
    9 Tue Charlotte 7:00 pm
    10 Wed @ Indiana 8:00 pm
    12 Fri Atlanta 7:00 pm
    14 Sun New Jersey 5:30 pm
    16 Tue @ Milwaukee 8:00 pm
    17 Wed Cleveland

    Milwaukee and New Jersey will be tough games - but probably the biggest games will be the two vs Indiana.

    Indiana games left:

    5 Fri Phoenix 7:00 pm
    7 Sun @ Toronto 4:30 pm
    8 Mon Cleveland 7:00 pm
    10 Wed Toronto 7:00 pm
    12 Fri Milwaukee 7:00 pm
    14 Sun @ Washington 2:00 pm
    16 Tue @ Cleveland 6:00 pm
    17 Wed Philadelphia

    Tough games: phoenix, milwaukee, phila? - Once again key games will be vs. toronto.


    GO RAPS!!

    If the Raptors can win sunday it is as good as picking up 2 games (as others said because of the tie breaker), that is a BIG game.

    I still hope Phily falls and comes into the picture as well. I could see them going 3-5 or even 2-6, really making things interesting. Phily is going on even less on talent than what Toronto has right now and has been so lucky of late. Phily's next 3 games are key for them, Det and two with Milw, they could get swepted to really tighen things up. If they can even go 1-2 they probably won't fall enough to come into the picture.

    Indiana has by far more available talent than Toronto or Phily but just seems to be sinking badly for no reason I can see.

    If Toronto makes it to the extra season - will VC be back?? That would be horrible for them to lose their pick and get whooped in the first round... bahaha keep on winning!

    ps: actually I'd like to see hakeem play in the post season

    The Raptors are tied with the Pacers now for the 8th playoff spot! :) :D :cool: And they do have the tie-breaker over the Pacers. (2 more games to play between them ... the Raptors won the previous 2 matchups)

    Go Raptors!

    I heard Speedy Claxton is out the next 3 games with a concussion. Toronto is 3 back of Philly.

    RR-I'd take 7th, #15 overall vs. waiting a year, because it'll be worse then.

    Man .... Toronto has gotten SO lucky during this streak. They nearly blew the game tonight in Chicago ..... Hassell's three for the win was long. Toronto escapes... with Indiana's win they remain tied. Go Raptors!

    (By the way, Hakeem had a couple of nice shots in that game)

    Raps can gain a lot on Sunday if they win.

    Sixers and Bucks are playing so one has to lose, combined with a Toronto win, they'll be alone in the 8th seed, plus 1 game out of 7th! :eek:

    LETS GO RAPTORS!

    2 back of Philadelphia and Milwaukee, tied with Indy.

    This game Sunday is critical. They must take the home court advantage. They don't need to win both, but IMO, one is a must.

    New York just escaped with a win, to give the Rockets some breathing room at the 6th pick. COME ON CLEVELAND, start winning some games!!!

    Here's a bit of irony. Cleveland won both games with us this year. Does that mean WE win the tie-breaker for the 5th pick, if we end up tied? :D

    Toronto will make the playoffs and the Rockets will continue to lose for years to come, No draft picks will help the Rockets at this point. They need a big name free agent but that will never happen. As long as the Raptors and Hakeem make the playoffs the move was great by Hakeem to go to Toronto. If the Raptors do not make the playoffs it was a bad move. It is all about Hakeem!

    LL2, enough! Hakeem is less than a shadow of his former self. We'll always revere him but it's time to move on. We'll be fine in a year or two. Remember how long some of the current Western Conference powerhouses were out of the playoffs. We won't be waiting that long, I'm sure.

    LL2, if Toronto makes the playoffs, it had nothing to do with Hakeem. He is having a hard enough time just getting minutes in Toronto.

    Half Time 46-45, Toronto with the 1 point lead after being down by 7 at one point.

    Antonio Davis and Alvin Williams with 14 apiece.
    Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal with 11 apiece. Miller only has 5 shots, and has hit 4 of them, including 3-3 on trifectas. He worries me going into the 2nd half.

    Bad luck with Philly winning. They're more likely to have bad ending to the season.
