The Raptors have come on strong at just the right time and now have a few days to rest up and get everyone healthy for the strech run. They are my sleeper pick to make the East finals against Detroit, but I'm not sure as of now if they are good enough to beat the Pistons in a 7 game series.
Doesn't matter anyways if they do, east is going to get squashed by the Mavs in the finals.

The big strength for the Raptors is depth. They have 7 guys who can score when needed. They work well as a team and are not egotistical. It reminds me a lot of the year the Pistons beat the Lakers with Shaq and Kobe in the Finals. They didn't have many superstars but a great team concept. Same thing now with the Raptors. Bosh, Ford, Calderon, Bargnani, Garbajosa, Peterson, and Parker call put in double digits in scoring a game when needed. They all konw their role, accept it, and play within it. I truly do believe the Raps are the second best team in the East behind the Pistons.

Unfortunately, the way the Nets are going, the Raptors are going to run away with this division; however, whoever thinks the Knicks are a tougher challenge than the Nets is kidding himself. The Nets will make a run at it but I think the Raptors got this division locked up (I'm a Nets fan, by the way).
