Making another correct call, in advance, regarding the Toronto Raptors

At the end of February the good people who run RaptorsRepublic.com asked a simple question in a poll on their site:

How many games would the Raptors win for the remainder of the season?

Yours truly said approximately 10.

Lo and behold, some 7 weeks later these are the results of those 22 games:

As you can see the Raptors won exactly 10 of those 22 games [.455].

There are many “fans”, in Raptorville, who watch their favourite play with rose-coloured glasses on.

Trust that yours truly is NOT one of them. :-)
