ESPN Basketball Writers Pick Raptors to Win Atlantic

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">All but one of ESPN's six basketball writers think the Raptors, not the Nets will win the Atlantic Division, citing Toronto's easier schedule and consistency as well as the Nets injuries. Only Chris Sheridan thought the Nets would still win the NBA's weakest division. On the Raptors' side were: Greg Anthony, Chris Broussard, Ric Bucher, John Hollinger and Marc Stein. It's all part of the NBA midseason report.</div>

That's how we do!

I officially hate Chris Sheridan.

I can not see it happening. Not to be bias but I can not see the Raptors or any other team in the division winning the Atlantic. Don't get me wrong, the Raptors are a great bunch of young players and they could make the playoff this year easily with they way the east is, but for them to win the Atlantic, no. The Nets may have been struggling but after the all star break I see them going on a strong run or getting a big man before the trade deadline. Carter showed signs that he could attack the basket yesterday and he really looked focused out there. I'm not sure how these 3 heart breaking losses are gonna effect them, but it will most likely be positive which will lead them to win the Atlantic division.
