(On a side note, the Sixers will split with the Raptors (2-2) with each team winning one at home and one on the road.  Really, it all depends on whether Eddie Jordan's team will finally improve their perimeter defense.  If so, look  for the Sixers to have it their way in this series.  Plus, Jason Kapono and Primo Brezec are former Raptors looking forward to facing their old  team.  And of course, good old Reggie Evans will be seen, but with the Raptors. ) Greatest strength(s):

I’m not sure that they will be like that this season, but I like the collection of talent they have. Bosh is motivated and in a contract year, Turkoglu, Bargnani and Belinelli can jack it from 3 and Antoine Wright, Jarrett Jack and Reggie Evans make for an improved bench. I think the key is Calderon, who needs to be the “Nash” of this group. If he can, they might surprise.
