<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The happiest place in all of the NBA Wednesday night may very well have been the visiting locker room at the TD Banknorth Garden, where the only undefeated team remaining in the Eastern Conference was celebrating -- modestly, mind you, but celebrating nonetheless -- their seventh straight win.It's quite a gaudy record the Toronto Raptors are sporting as the preseason winds down, a 7-0 mark that left one team official joking that he was heading out in the morning to get sized for a championship ring.</div>haha interesting article..http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/trainingcamp...ht&lid=tab4pos3
I hate to break the hearts of you Raptors fans, but it's preseason. Even if they win tomorrow night and go 8-0 in preseason, that obviously isn't going to continue in the regular season. I will not take anything away from Toronto, however, they are an improved team. I really like the additions of Anthony Parker, Jorge Garbajosa (I like this guy), Rasho Nesterovic (eh), and Andrea Bargnani. But things would have been so different last night if Pierce and Ratliff played.

Bosh is an All-Star and still improving, and Ford is a good young player. But overall, the Celtics are much deeper than the Raptors, IMO, more talented, and a better team. But the real reason I made that post above was to basically tell Raps fans not to get too excited over being 7-0 in preseason. It's not going to be that way in the regular season.
