Well - The East finally has a beast.. and its a Raptor.. Toronto look like a winner from here. Sorry Knicks, 6ers, and all the rest. Maybe the next Ultimate site should be the UltimateRaptors.com...
With the Dream getting a three year contract and Davis and Carter in the fold, the odds on favorite has got to be Toronto.
They won't be as good as you think. In most cases, we'll see Vince, Alvin, Antonio, and Mo Pete leading the break with Hakeem doggin it behind. They are a fast break, uptempo team and i can't see Olajuwon being very effective in their style of play. They will be good, but i can't see them beating Orlando, Philly, Milwaukee, or the Knicks for that matter.
I don't know. I didn't watch the full Raptor-Philly series, but didn't they take the 76ers to 7 games? And now they add a legit center? Now that Philly has given up a solid power forward, well, the team is not better off for it.
I do believe that the Knicks will play much better, given the off court distractions. But still, the Raptors are for real.
