I’d say it’s going to be closer to $20. Unless Bosh is out for an extended period.

Like I said, you’re usually right (which is why we agree), but not this time.

Okay, so this is your friend Darren admitting he will owe you at least $10.00 on April 14th.

Apparently, I should have overlooked my “gut feeling” about the Knicks winning more games than the Raptors, and relied on more statistical analysis!

I have not given up on a 41 win season for the Raptors…yet…

I seem to evaluate individual players better than a team.

well, he’s just 23 years old, can shoot, drive, play defense and pass the ball well. His biggest problem is inconsistency, which could be attributed to the fact that he’s, well, 23 years old.

Is it a sure thing? Hell, no. Which is why I made it a prediction. I’m curious why you think there is “no chance” that he’ll ever be mentioned for 6th man of the year.

[...] How’s That Crystal Ball? (All-Star Version) : The Picket Fence Before we get to the predictions, I have to say a few words about the win against Philadelphia. It’s funny how, when they were up by 20+, I really didn’t see how they would let the Sixers back in the game the way they were playing, but of course they did. It’s what makes them fun to watch, I guess. And however frustrating it is, and dangerous, it is also reassuring that they can do that but still come through when it counts. The Raptors went on a 9-0 run to finish the game after the Sixers tied the game at 93. Ya, they shouldn’t have let them back in the game, but to finish a game like that is impressive. [...]
