Raptors making noise

So with Raptors victory over Celtics, thanks to Amir Johnson, they've clinched themselves a Playoff spot, and will be in there for the first time since 07-08 season, when Bosh was still on the team.

Of course their sucsess has come from the guard duo, Kyle Lowry, and DeMar DeRozan. DeMar, being a top 3 Shooting Guard in the NBA right now, was able to succeed because of getting Rudy Gay's shots, making him a 20 PPG guy. As for Lowry, he's been able to get efficient shots and passes, as well being scrapy and fighting for it. Put that together with a towering big man in Valančiūnas, their athletic forward Ross, and a great selection of role players like Patrick Patterson and Steve Novak, and it's a team that can cause some problems. Much like the Suns, they lack Veterans and experience, which can cause them some problems against Miami, Indiana and Chicago, but have the skill to beat then. With 9 games left in the season, they will definitely have a chance to have home court for the first round, but that's the only thing going for them. Overall, they have a chance to excel this post-season, but it's uncertain.
