A Welcomed Raptor Swoon

The Raptors, without their best player, just went winless during a five game road trip.  I'm a Toronto Raptor fan, and I was totally cool with this.  Allow me to explain...

Prior to this late season swoon, we were pretty secure in 5th place in the NBA Eastern Conference.  That would mean a first round match-up with LeBron James and the 4th place Cleveland Cavaliers.  I don't see us winning that series.

Today, we're only .5 games up on Washington.  The goal is to finish sixth so we face the Orlando Magic.  I think that's our best chance at winning our second playoff series in franchise history.

It's a slippery slope, so we have to be careful not to fall into seventh.  That's a match-up with the Pistons.  We want 6th!  We want 6th!
