Raptors Back in the Postseason!

Chris Bosh had 24 and 16, Juan Dixon scored 15. Even without Andrea Bargnani and Jorge Garbajosa, the Raptors were way too much for the Charlotte Bobcats. By attaining yet another victory, Toronto has clinched a playoff berth for the first time in 5 years. Currently, the team is at the three seed spot, which would guarantee them home court advantage in the first round.

Where's the credit here to dole out? Well, you've got to give it to GM Bryan Colangelo, who has had the vision and wearwithall to turn a team around that went 27-55 last year. Plus, Bosh has turned into one of the most feared players in the conference--his year has been nothing short of spectacular. He had great things to say about his journey thus far:

"It means a lot to me. It quiets the people who were like 'Why did you come here? Why didn't you go to the States?' It's just a good feeling that my beliefs have paid off and it's turned to reality."

With the way things have transpired in the East, it's anybody's game at this point, and with the consistency the Raptors have shown over the season and the continued improvement, they could be a real threat to the Pistons' seemingly strangehold over the conference.
