They're picking us to maybe get 48 wins this season, but at the same time they say that 48 might be a slim chance.

KD's Endless Grey Ribbon: 48 wins seems a little slim to me, it really does, because this Raptor team does really have the looks of a squad that appears ready to turn the corner. Then the dour mug in you gets a hold of that roster and talks things down a bit.
The half-full guy wants to think that everyone's going to play 80 games, that the team's best players are going to hold up for 40 minutes at a time, and that the Raptors are one step closer toward returning to the Eastern Conference finals or even the NBA Finals.
But while the former might be quite do-able, the latter seems tough. It's early October, and I just can't buy these guys working at top form in June just to make it out of their own Conference. Bummer.
