Raptors eye Atlantic lead… or last place, whichever

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006   (1 year, 11 months ago)

The Toronto Raptors .308 winning percentage could see them 31 games below .500 by the end of the season, and perhaps as much as 2 games back of the Atlantic Division lead!

The Toronto Raptors are off to the second worst start in the NBA, at 4-9, and their .308 winning percentage has dropped them… what the?  ONE game back of the division lead?  Holy crap that division sucks.

Hmmm… let’s see.  New Jersey has lost 5 in a row.  Toronto is 0-7 on the road, Philadelphia is 2-7 away from home, and New York is 1-6 at home… 

Hey! How about Boston - tearing up the Atlantic with their .500 play over the last 10 games!  It may sound like mediocrity, but when everyone else in your division goes 3-7 or worse, it looks… well it still looks like mediocrity actually.
