The RR readership & listenership & commentor-ship (?) is a special thing. A lively community and one that ‘Done deal’ has been shepherding for win-loss predictions for a few years now. A huge thanks to ‘Done deal’ for once again compiling all the predictions, and for posterity I like to make a post for the community just so there’s something to link back to – for the winners to lift up as if it were the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

From Done deal:

These are the RR poster predictions on the Raps record for the 2026/27 season, with thanks to all who threw their hat into the ring.

We’ve been running this for multiple years now as a fun way to have posters make their call on the team’s regular season record, with only pride (and bragging rights) on the line.

The thread has been updated to include all predictions made, including final Eastern conference position as a tiebreaker.

86 predictions made in total this year (hope I didn’t miss anyone’s). Crowd-sourced average prediction is 50-32 (50.31 wins to be exact). The people are bullish on the Raps! Here’s hoping the people get it right.

Go Raps!”

If the community is correct, it seems there was some money to be won on the Raptors over/under, and a decent shot at fielding a contending squad.

We’ll see. Thank you once again to Done deal, this is such a fun thing to do every year.

Have a blessed day.
