I think based on the season performance of the last 2 months, the Toronto Raptors has proven to be very strong and played like a conference champs.Dallas has been a strong team in the West Conference. I just think, if Toronto can get passed VC, it is pretty much assured they can make the finals. Dallas, clearly don't even have to try, well The SA Spurs are their only challenge I think. Do you agree with ym saying - Raptors Vs. Dallas Finals?

I don't think the Raptors will make it out of the Eastern conference. I predict Pistons v _____. The West is so unpredictable that almost any team could win it.

Well, I don't agree. The Raptors play great as a team but have minimal talent. I think the Kidd-Carter duo will be a bigger challenge than the likely LeBron matchup in the second round. But then comes the real challenge, the Detriot Pistons. The Raptors just don't match up well against the Pistons. The Raptors only hope would be the get out and run with T.J. Ford and Anthony Parker, A LOT. So if by Some miracle they do win against the Pistons, Dallas has they in check on every level, and it would be impossible to pull out four games against them.

The Raptors have a lot of momentum as they've steadily improved throughout the season, but when was the last time a team went from lottery to title contender? I think they will beat the Nets, but I doubt they'll win over the Cavs and even if they do the Pistons defense will probably smother them. I personally think Phoenix will take the West but Dallas is the favourite.

Raptors won't be able to make it that far. Yes, Toronto has performed well recently, but they're hot streak of energy will run out after the first round. They'll most likely lose in the second round. I say Detroit will win the East and lose to Dallas in the Finals.

If toronto does go in to the finals against Dallas they better hope they bring there A game because if not they will easily get swept by the #1 ranked team in the nba

Raptors have a lack of experience in Playoffs which is proponderant even if they have done a solid season.
Against Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson & "Vincenzo" Vince Carter, I'll give them a credit (Remember NJ have 2 NBA Finals), so I suppose that Nets will go through the second round.

I have no idea who'll be coming outta the east. I think the Pistons or the Bulls are more likely...but I follow the west more, so what do I know.
But you're right with Dallas, it's theirs to loose.
Awww Gtown...poor Wizards :-(

An unlikely match-up for the NBA title. But you'll never know, Toronto might upgrade its stats 100-fold.
