I've been a Warriors fan since they traded Chris Webber. Can you imagine how that's like....

They can start a good winning streak! Would help if Baron started playing normally and the team started to run and gun a bit but the Warriors should be too powerful for the Raptors migya make the ring fall on ya

This is a very winnable game. Toronto is doing the right thing rebuilding around Bosh and has some good talent in Calderon, C-Villa and Graham, but still are a couple of years away from being a contender for anything other than a top lottery pick.

Also, the next draft they'll have, again, two draft picks, and a lot of cap room in two years, so, yeah, the Carter trade was bad, but they're not in a bad situation right now. At least nto that bad as, say, Atlanta.

So, Warriors +10.

Depending on how good Mike James can be and whether Bosh can continue to play Center or not, the Raptors should look for a PG in the next draft. A PG like Deron Williams could really make the Raptors alot better by distributing well as well as scoring himself. Unless an effective PG that makes the rest of the team better is picked, the Raptors, with the current team they have, are at least 4 years away from something real positive

What are his strengths and weaknesses? Not much of a scorer is he migya make the ring fall on ya

He can score, just not rely on him to do so in a consistent basis. Other than that, he's a great pg, good defender, good handles, great awareness on the court, and he's only 24 years old. He's also a pretty smart player, who doesn't make many mistakes.

Think of him as a better Earl Watson.

What's been really surprising is how well has he adapted to the NBA pace, coming from a much slower european pace...

Maybe the Raptors should focus on drafting a real center or a SG in the draft. That would mean ofcourse that Villaneuva would have to come off the bench migya make the ring fall on ya

They're in a pretty good situation, they'll stink for two years, but after that, watch out (IF they don't f*ck it drafting scrubs, that is).
