I don't think if he's out for an extended period of time, they could withstand that because he really makes them go.

But I think for the Raptors, I think it's imperative to try to hold on to at least the sixth seed.

Because you get into a play-in situation, you know, you can move fast from 7 to 8 to 9 to 10.

And, you know, do you really want to play...

One of these teams head-to-head, if you're going to be in the play and you better be a 7-8, we have two chances to go.

Because if you fall to 9-10, and the Raptors really struggled matching up against Charlotte this year.

They swept Atlanta, but Atlanta's a different team.

And the three games that are going to be huge, thank goodness they're all in Toronto.

I'm not sure if I should say that because they haven't been a great home court team.

They got Orlando next Sunday night at home.

And then the following week, right before the season ends, they got Miami on a home back-to-back on April 7th and 9th.

So those three games are going to be, I would say, tipping point games for the Raptors.

Not only them, but for the Magic and the Heat.

So they're far from being assured of a playoff series.

They've had a really good year.

They're 10 games over .500.

They've won 20 games.

They're kind of a strange team at home a little bit.

I'm still trying to put my finger on why.

But nonetheless, they got their chances to be there.
