Sorry, I missed that post. I have known since July, but I never saw it in print anywhere, so I have kept it private.

Raps as good as anyone: Hedo
By Steve Buffery
Teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference should heed the words of Hedo Turkoglu.
While players were asked yesterday for predictions on the coming season, which begins tonight for the Raptors at the Air Canada Centre against the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers, Turkoglu suggested that anyone who believes his club will not succeed is misinformed.
"We are as good as anybody out there right now," said Turkoglu, whom GM Bryan Colangelo brought over from the Orlando Magic in July. "We don't get a lot of credit, even to make the playoffs. But we really don't care. I'm very confident about myself and my teammates."
Perhaps it's Turkoglu who is wearing the rose-coloured contact lenses.
Most basketball publications pick the Raptors, who finished 33-49 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2006, to finish anywhere from fifth to eighth in the East.
But to a man at the Raptors practice facility yesterday, nobody wanted to hear what the big publications and networks had to say. Chris Bosh said the bottom line is simple. If they play hard, they'll do well. If they don't play all-out, every game, they won't. What he didn't add was, if they don't play well and don't make the playoffs, he'll probably play elsewhere next season.
"I see a lot of potential. We can be either good or bad, it depends on us," Bosh said. "I think we're going to be good. But we're only going to be as good as we want to be. We have to believe in ourselves, first and foremost. But we have to put in the work to be good."
Point guard Jose Calderon said there is no point setting a limit on where they might finish.
"I want to be first," Calderon said. "Why would I put limits on us when the season is just going to start? Why say we'll be sixth or seventh if we can be a little bit better?"
The consensus is that the Cavaliers, who hosted Boston last night, will emerge as the beasts of the East, with the Celtics and Magic close behind. After that, it's a turkey shoot, with Toronto, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and Miami all in the mix to make the playoffs.
"But all of that really doesn't matter," Bosh said. "How many prediction polls have really been correct in the last 10 years? I'm sure nobody picked the Magic to be the Eastern Conference champs last year. We just take all that as motivation and move on."
The worry is Raptorland -- although nobody officially admits to as much -- is that because the team is so new and the start of the schedule such a difficult one, the club might be slow getting out of the gate and that could affect morale. But Jay Triano, who is starting his first full season as head coach, said he will do all he can to keep the ship on an even keel.
"The players are ready and we feel good," said Triano, while admitting that he would have liked to have had a little more time preparing his revamped squad. "Yeah, like three years. We've kind of cleaned house, but we've got very quality people in here."
Thank you much, D228!
Great way to start the season! Loved the game.
Angel- I wish you could have seen. The Raptors introduced every player- not just the starters- and the crowd started to cheer really loudly as soon as the spotlight hit Rasho- before they could even announce his name.
aww that's wonderful!
Three days until the game!
I am soooooo excited.
I am going to get to say hi to Sho and FINALLY meet Hedo!
Hooray!
