Toronto Raptors
Resolution: Beat respect into opposing teams
It’s quite clear. The Toronto Raptors could probably win 70 games this season, and they still won’t garner the respect that they’re due. The Raptors are — right now — the best team in the Eastern Conference, and one of the top-5 best teams in the entire NBA. Still, you don’t hear on peep about that.
Soon or later, the Raptors are going to get that respect. Whether that be in a few weeks, months or when they’re hosting the Eastern Conference Finals. Get ahead of the curve, people.
