“New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits…”
I decided I was going to root for the Celtics half way through the series. I actually was impartial to both sides entering the series but finally decided to root for the Celtics winning because of it’s implications on the Raptors. First, it signifies that we’re clearly no longer the T.O.A.D (Top Of the Atlantic Division… Yes lame acronym, I know). As long as the big three are together, the Raptors will have a tough time competing for that top spot for at least the next three years. Secondly, it shows how quickly a team can change it’s fate by bringing in big talent. Although the Celtics 4 through 15 were questioned, getting a Kevin Garnett and a Ray Allen brought faith back to the franchise and had everyone buy into their team philosophy and, in turn,solidified their team. Then there’s the Raptors, suffering from a lowly .500 season after a 47 win campaign that had everyone believing in BC and now quickly losing their faith. phdsteve from RaptorsTalk suggested trading our franchise Chris Bosh. While I’m not sure what it will take to turn this franhise around, I do know that you can’t win it all with a Chris Bosh, Forderon, and a bunch of change. It’s time to change in those nickels and pennies for straight dimes. Now get ‘er done, BC!
