The Toronto Raptors are chasing the Bulls for Second in the East

Ladies and Gentlemen, the battle is on. The Toronto raptors have qualified for the NBA PlayOffs and are now chasing the bulls for the second playoff spot so they can play against the lowly (due to injuries) Washington Wizards. Currently the raptors are 1 game back of the bulls with 4 games remaining for both teams. If the raptors catch the bulls, they may end up playing Vince Carter and the New Jersey nets.

In my opinion, it is better for them to stay seeded 3rd overal in the east to give themselves a chance to play the Wizards instead of positioning themselves for the Nets, considering the Nets have more man power and have 3 top 10 Stars of the NBA; Carter, Kid and Richard Jefferson. However, it is not as easy as just staying put and letting some games go to find the chance to play wizs. The Nets are within 1 game of now over taking the Washington Wizards for the sixth in the east so with few more wins, the nets can actually finish sixth in the east where the Wizards drop to seventh. In that case, the raps will have to catch the bulls to face the wizards.

Either way, it will be a fun season for the Toronto Raptors fans all over the world. With Andrea Bargnani back in the line up, the three will rain again and Chris Bos and TJ ford will have to contribute to helping the raptors make noise, as their coach Sam Mitchell said.

That is all for me for now, I will keep you guys updated.

Please make sure you comment on what you think about the raptors Playoff qualification.
