This team is so fun watch, our chemistry has been great.

The 2nd unit is playing better as well, James Johnson is easily my favorite bench player now.

JJ brings exactly what the team needs, D stopper, athleticism and hustle.....but he reminds me of a more athletic boris diaw

76ers got wrecked. It wasn't a very competitive game imho, although the 76ers showed some spark on offense at times. I don't like that they try to live and die by the 3. They're not Golden State.

Raptors team chemistry does look great right now.
I like that James Johnson has a style all his own. He tends to stand up a lot, but he has a great knack for the ball at the defensive end; in that respect there's a similarity to MWP/Ron Artest.

Lowry has been exceptional. I felt the raps should have dressed and played their lanky youngbloods, especially because the 4th qtr was presumably going to be a blowout.

Should be a battle. I think the East will end:

Bulls
Cavs
Raptors
Heat

Although I would chuckle if the Heat finish ahead of the Cavs. The Raptors can make a giant statement if they beat the Bulls. They can do it, but on talent/depth I think the Bulls are the best team in the league when Rose is healthy. The Spurs are better @ execution, but the Bulls are griity and deep. The Raps barely lost to the Heat and they played by far their worst game of the new season, so I think they can compete with anyone. But beat the elite teams ... that's the question of the season. I won't hang too much on the Bulls game but it will define where the Raptors are at this point in the season. After Derozan and presumably Lowry make the All-Star team, I think the Raptors will take top form.

Not sure but I think he played against the Bucks and felt terrible. He skipped the Celtics game (how did the Celtics even beat the Bulls?). I hope he plays, just because he's a great player and he's exciting to watch. If it would mean seeing the Raptors take a loss for Rose to play and never get re-injured, I'd take that trade any day :)
