Toronto: Pretender
Toronto is a great case of good team in a bad conference.
If you put Toronto in the West, they’ll be hovering around the 5-8 spot, but since they’re in the East they’re the third seed and might look a little better than they really are.
Although they have a good point guard in Kyle Lowry and a good frontcourt combination in Terrance Ross and Amir Johnson, they don’t have the talent to compete with Lebron James, Derrick Rose, and the bigger boys of the East. Maybe they’ll surprise a few and we’ll see Canada finally get a NBA finals, but it’s highly doubtful.
