The Raptors have silenced all critics -even the guys at NBA.com and Yahoo Sports (Steve Kerr) - through passion and hardwork. Besides us Raptors fans, how many of you actually thought the Raptors would be 25-23, and leading the Atlantic?
Any comments on what have taken place in the last four months, and what is going to come in the next 2-3?

I didn't think they would, I thought the Nets would run away with the Atlantic again. The Raptors have stepped it up big time and Bosh has been a big part of that. The Nets can still win the division but they need to shake up the team and do something. If they lose any more close games (seriously, is it possible to lose that many close games in two plus weeks?), they might pack it in for good.

With half of New Jersey's squad on the injured list, Vince Carter being the subject of trade rumors and J-Kidd's personal problems, the Nets have too much negative energy going on this season. New York is too inconsistent and soft. Boston is a terrible squad with nobody holding down the fort since Paul Pierce's injury. Philadelphia is now officially in rebuilding mode. This means the Atlantic Division is up for grabs and I believe the Raps will win it. They have a solid leader in Bosh, a pass first point guard in T.J Ford and the veteran leadership of longtime Raptor Morris Peterson. Their young guys (Bargnani and Jose Calderon) show up ready to work every night too. I think the Raptors will at least crack the second round of the playoffs in a mediocre Eastern Conference.

i never thought they would be doing this well. but you have to consider the powerfull eastern conference. with net and knick 3 - 6 games under five hundred and still within range of first place raptors.

The only reason the Raps are in the lead is because their entire division sucks! If they make the playoffs they will be swept in the first round.

Not me, but they have been showing signs of improvement the past years. Bosh is showing he is a leader and is a great player.
