The Toronto Raptors are on a roll

Toronto Raptors make it to the playoffs for the first time in five years. The last time they made to the playoffs was back 2001-02 season when Vince Carter was the man in charge. Now it is Chris Bosh who was a 19 year old starting out back then when they last made it to the playoffs. It is being a long raod for the raps and are finally back to the NBA elite after winning 43 games and counting. They're on their way to tying their most wins in one season at 47 with 6 games remaining. Perhaps they will beat that record and I will come back here and update it again. Currently, they are fighting for a home court in the first round trying to fend of the resugning Miami Heat with Shaquile Oneal and D-wade who just came back from a shoulder injury.

Why are they so good this season, compared a season ago when they mastered just 27 wins for the fifth worse record? Good question.

There are several key factors that are contributing to their success. First, It istarts with Bryan Colengelo, the teams new General Manager. Bryan has brought together and signed nine new players, including the Garbojosa, Parker, Juan Dixon,Rasho Nesterovic. These guys contributed to teams winning ways by bringing in winning attitudes.


Consider this, the first overall draft pick, Andrea Bergnani, has won several Italian cups with his previous team. Anthony Parker is the EuroLeage player of the year, and lead his previous Macabi team to 4 straight tittels.




I must say after beating the Chicago bulls and running over the Timberwolves, they're ready to make noise in the Playoffs this year and you might be surprised to see them seeded seconds and the end of this season.

This team will definetely more fun watch to watch than many in the East. Congratulations Toronto Raptors.!!!!
