It's a New Season!

Most Raptors fans would probably take a 3 and 3 record to start the season given that their Team had to face the likes of Cleveland, Detroit, Dallas, New Orleans and Orlando. So far in this early season, the Raps have shown that offensively they can hold their own. With Bosh, Bargnani and Turkoglu, this team is capable of putting up a lot of points.…… However, this leads to the old saying: Offense sells tickets but its defense that wins Championships. It’s the pursuit of the latter that will keep Chris Bosh in town. With that in mind, the Raps certainly need to do more on the defensive end of the floor. It also goes without saying that the Raptors have got to be more than just a 500 team…..And definitely they can’t be losing games to the likes of Memphis………….. By season’s end, some fans are expecting 50 plus wins and home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. I think that is probably the minimum requirement to keep Bosh in town. It’s doable. The talent is there on this team……….. At this point, it’s still early in the season, so let’s just cut Jay Triano and his coaching staff some slack – The Raptors still deserves a little more time to gel. Let’s check in two weeks from now to re-evaluate.
