The Toronto Raptors keep piling up accomplishments.

But they realize they have more to do this season.

Greivis Vasquez scored 25 points, Kyle Lowry had 24 and the Raptors set a franchise record with their 48th win, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 110-100 on Monday night. “This is probably the best team I’ve ever been on,” Vasquez said. It may well be, but the true measure of Toronto’s success will come in their postseason performance. “We can’t just be happy,” Vasquez said. “We’ve got to continue to get better and make a run in the playoffs.”

Vasquez made an impact right away, hitting three of Toronto’s six 3-pointers in the first quarter, as the Raptors built a 32-19 lead after one.

Vasquez had two more 3-pointers in the second, getting eight points and four assists as Toronto took a 59-46 lead at halftime.

Alex Len
C		Maryland Sophomore7-1255

The Bobcats badly need a big man to shore up a frontcourt that ranked among the worst scoring and rebounding units in the league this season. The defensive-minded Oladipo will get strong consideration,but two team executives believe that Len — a physical center who rebounds well, protects the paint (2.1 blocks) and can play with his back to the basket — is on the rise, despite the fact that a stress fracture in his left ankle has kept him out of individual workouts. And remember this: New coach Steve Clifford has an excellent reputation when it comes to developing big men.  fromcbssports.com

1–Home Court Advatage–I find it inconceivable that the Heat could lose more then once in Miami. most likely each squad will take one on the road and the series will come down to Game 7. Game. set, match Miami

2–Dwayne Wade–Had the Heat won game 7 with a Herculean effort from LeBron alone, I would not like Miami’s chances but DWade stepped up big time. If Wade is at his best he is still a bigger factor then Ginobli or Parker.

3–Bosh can not play as bad as he did against the Pacers. The Spurs are not nearly as physical as the Hibbert West connection

4–Spoelstra did a nice job adjusting in game 7. But he is no Popovich. Pop is clearly the best coach in the game and would be the X factor in a Spurs win

5–Simply said LeBron–there is no one on the court remotely close to the King

1. Ben McLemore, Kansas SG 6-4 195

The struggle to score late in the season — or hit a single shot in the round of 32 – increased the doubt about what happens at the next level. But in this draft, he is the clear choice for a team that needs a wing.

2. Nerlens Noel, Kentucky PF 6-11 220

The choice becomes very, very interesting if the team that lands No. 1 has a glaring need for a big man and debates the risk of taking Noel approximately 3 ½ months after knee surgery. The doctor for some team is going to be on the clock.

3. Anthony Bennett, UNLV PF 6-7 240

Two inches taller and Bennett is probably in the lead for No. 1. Even as an undersized power forward, he has a decent case while teams debate whether he has the offensive game to play some small forward.

4. Otto Porter, Georgetown SF 6-8 200

Impressive play early moved him securely into the lottery, then another surge late in the regular season put the Big East Player of the Year into position to crack the top five.

5. Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA SG-SF 6-6 225

The preseason possibility for the top pick has played his way down the board — potentially well down the board — with selfish play and the realization he is a volume scorer rather than a good shooter.

6. Victor Oladipo, Indiana SG 6-5 210

With his defensive abilities previously established, Oladipo shot up draft boards by expanding his offense and becoming a dependable shooter. One of the best two-way players available.

7. Trey Burke, Michigan PG 6-1 175

Even while struggling with his shot in the tournament, he used a standout sophomore season to become a candidate for Player of the Year with a well-rounded game. He boasts an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.3-1 and an accurate stroke (47.9 percent shooter) with range.

8. Cody Zeller, Indiana PF-C 7-0 240

There is nothing terribly wrong with his game. It’s just that there is nothing terribly right. Once prominent in the conversation for No. 1, he is now viewed as a safe pick with a low ceiling.

9. Alex Len, Maryland C 7-1 255

He has shown encouraging signs of growth in his game as a sophomore two seasons after coming from the Ukraine, but nothing helps draft stock like being the best true center available.

10. Michael Carter-Williams,Syracuse PG 6-5 175

Carter-Williams has gone from the top-rated point guard at the start of the season to No. 3 at best, but his ball-handling and vision at 6-foot-5 keeps him in lottery contention despite shooting 39.3 percent.
