Toronto Raptors Fading Fast in Eastern Conference

Crunch Sports Staff - 14 Mar 2010

The good news for Raptor fans is that there are other slumping teams as well.

The Toronto Raptors are seriously fading in the NBA's Eastern Conference as they have slid down the rankings in the last little while.  They are now clinging on to the 8th and final playoff position as they have a 1.5 game lead on 9th place Chicago.

The Raptors are fortunate that the Chicago Bulls are also colder than the winter winds that come off of the great lakes as they have lost 7 in a row.  Neither Philadelphia nor New York, in 10th and 11th right now, are in a position to make a charge at this point.

The playoffs are certainly up for grabs although finishing in the eighth position likely means little more than at least 4 dates with Lebron James and his Cavaliers.

Maybe Chicago, +4000 to win the Eastern Conference title with Players Only, would rather finish 9th?

The Raptors are also +4000 to win the Eastern Conference with Players Only while the Cleveland Cavaliers have the market crushed at -300 at this point.
