2006–07 Toronto Raptors season

NBA professional basketball team season March 2026 August 2023 Toronto Raptors yes 2007 47 35 Atlantic 1 3 Sam Mitchell Bryan Colangelo Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Air Canada Centre First Round(lost to Nets 2–4) TOR Rogers Sportsnet Raptors NBA TV TSN The Score CJCL The Toronto Raptors 2006–07 season was the twelfth National Basketball Association (NBA) season for the Toronto Raptors basketball franchise. Following a poor 2005–06 season, General Manager Bryan Colangelo greatly revamped the team roster during the pre-season but continued to build the team around All-Star Chris Bosh. Despite a sluggish start, the 2006–07 season transformed into a watershed year for Toronto. The Raptors captured their first division title, finished third in the Eastern Conference, made the playoffs for the first time in five years, equalled their best ever regular season record (47–35) of the 2000–01 team (a franchise record eventually surpassed by the 2014–15 team that won 49 games and the 2017–18 team that won 59 games), and secured home court advantage for the first time in franchise history. However, the Raptors met the New Jersey Nets in the first round of the playoffs and were defeated four games to two. At the end of the regular season, head coach Sam Mitchell and Colangelo were named NBA Coach of the Year and NBA Executive of the Year respectively. The Raptors also changed their colour scheme which is still in use today.

Spanish international Jorge Garbajosa and former slam dunk champion Fred Jones were also signed from free agency. The Raptors concluded pre-season transactions by re-signing veteran Darrick Martin. With this new lineup, Toronto looked to maintain a team who could both pass and shoot the ball, but was also stronger defensively than the 2005–06 roster.Smalls, Anthony, "The Rebirth of the Raptors" https://web.archive.org/web/20070517011556/http://www.nba.com/aroundtheassociation/raptors_revival.html 2007-05-17 , nba.com, 12 April 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. As a showcase of their new roster, on 15 October 2006, the 119 points by Toronto marked the third highest total in a pre-season game in franchise history.Post-Game Notes, nba.com/raptors, 15 October 2006, accessed 9 August 2007. The Raptors finished the pre-season with a 7–1 win–loss record, which was the best record in the league and a franchise record.Toronto Raptors Season Update, vividseats.com, accessed 25 April 2007. Push for playoffs The first half of the season produced mixed results as Toronto struggled towards the .500 mark after a dismal 2–8 start. Bosh's consistent performances however ensured he was named an All-Star starter in the 2007 NBA All-Star Game on 25 January 2007. He received the most votes after LeBron James among all Eastern Conference forwards."Raptors voted all-star starter" cbc.ca, 25 January 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. A day later, the Raptors hit the .500 mark for the first time since the 2003–04 season after defeating the Boston Celtics at the Air Canada Centre.Raptors Post Up, nba.com/raptors, 26 January 2007, accessed 21 April 2007.

As a result, the Raptors won three NBA Eastern Conference awards for the month of January: Player of the Month (Bosh),"Bosh named Eastern Conference Player of the Month", nba.com/raptors, 2 February 2007, accessed 25 April 2007.

Within the same week, Bosh's career-high 41 points in a win against the Orlando Magic prompted an unheard of event at the Air Canada Centre—chants of "MVP" by the home fans.Smith, Doug, "Bosh's career-high 41 sparks 'M-V-P' chant", thestar.com, 7 February 2007, accessed 21 April 2007. This chant was repeated in a win against Vince Carter's New Jersey Nets ten days later—to the disbelief of Carter—a game which also saw the team break franchise records for the most home wins and highest home winning percentage entering the All-Star break.Raptors Post Up, nba.com/raptors, 14 February 2007, accessed 21 April 2007.Post-Game Notes, nba.com/raptors, 14 February 2007, accessed 21 April 2007. After the break, Colangelo traded Jones for Juan Dixon, a versatile guard."Raptors Acquire Juan Dixon in Exchange for Fred Jones", nba.com/raptors, 21 February 2007, accessed 21 April 2007. Luke Jackson was also signed to provide depth to Toronto's bench.Raptors Sign Jackson, nba.com/raptors, 14 April 2007, accessed 6 June 2007.

Another franchise record was set when Toronto won the next game against the Bulls, this time for most home wins.Christie, James, "Raptors keep charging along", globesports.com, 8 April 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. The Raptors were eventually seeded third in the Eastern Conference, marking one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history in terms of league standing and defensive ranking.Pelton, Kevin, "Insider Preview – Sonics at Toronto" https://web.archive.org/web/20170824095941/http://www.nba.com/sonics/news/preview070311.html 2017-08-24 , nba.com/sonics, 11 March 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. Throughout the season, they were lauded for playing solid defense and good sharing and moving of the ball.Schuhmann, John, "Testing the Bosh Theory" https://web.archive.org/web/20070512192930/http://www.nba.com/features/schuhmann.html 2007-05-12 , nba.com, 23 March 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. José Calderón, Bargnani, Dixon and Morris Peterson turned in reliable performances from the bench while Ford and Bosh ran the offence with consistent numbers. And in Parker and Garbajosa, the Raptors had two very versatile players who could both defend and attack.Smith, Dough, "Raptors knock off Lakers", thestar.com, 10 February 2007, accessed 21 April 2007.Raptors Post Up, nba.com/raptors, 26 March 2007, accessed 21 April 2007.Ulmer, Mark, "The One They Needed", nba.com/raptors, 24 April 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. Furthermore, in contrast to previous seasons, the Raptors were able to win games despite injuries to key players such as Bosh, Bargnani, Parker, Ford and Garbajosa.Grange, Michael "Parker's return buoys Raptors", The Globe and Mail, 9 March 2007.Smith, Doug, "Parker's return a boost to Raps", Toronto Star, 10 March 2007. Colangelo, Gherardini and Mitchell were also largely credited for transforming Toronto's fortunes.Feschuk, Dave, "Italian building block" https://web.archive.org/web/20120926120001/http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/205725 2012-09-26 , thestar.com, 21 April 2007, accessed 21 April 2007. Standings TOR TOR Playoffs As third seed, the Raptors played sixth seed New Jersey Nets in the first round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs. The series drew much media attention as Vince Carter, a former Raptor who left Toronto under acrimonious circumstances two seasons ago, was now back at the ACC as a Net.Raptors Post Up, nba.com/raptors, 21 April 2007, accessed 26 April 2007. In the opening game, while Carter was constantly booed by the home crowd and was not an offensive threat, Toronto's inexperience was evident as they too struggled offensively and were down 65–78 going into the fourth quarter. A late rally by Toronto in the fourth quarter was not enough as they eventually lost 91–96. The Raptors won game 2 89–83 at the ACC to tie the series 1–1, as Bosh recorded 25 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.Grange, Michael, "Back to square one as Raptors even the series", globesports.com, 24 April 2007, accessed 25 April 2007. The Nets won games 3 and 4 to lead 3–1, but Toronto forced a game 6 when they narrowly won 98–96 in game 5.Raptors Post Up, nba.com/raptors, 1 May 2007, accessed 2 May 2007. In that game, the Raptors set two post-season franchise records: most points going into halftime and biggest lead for a half.Post-Game Notes, nba.com/raptors, 1 May 2007, accessed 2 May 2007. The attendance for the game was also a franchise record for a playoff game.Blair, Jeff, "Raptors stave off elimination", The Globe and Mail, 1 May 2007. In game 6, however, New Jersey won 98–97, sealing the series 4–2 and sending Toronto out of the first round.Raptors Post Up, nba.com/raptors, 4 May 2007, accessed 21 June 2007. In recognition of being the chief architects of Toronto's turnaround season, on 24 April 2007, Mitchell was named 2006–07 NBA Coach of the Year, the first Raptors coach to receive this honour;"Sam Mitchell Named 2006-07 Coach of the Year", nba.com/raptors, 24 April 2007, accessed 25 April 2007.
