Toronto Raptors
Record: 33-17
First Half Highlight: 13-2 start to season
Analysis: Still not entirely sure what to make of the Toronto Raptors, but at 33-17, and in the second spot of the Eastern Conference, you can only judge them on what they’ve done this season. And so far, they’ve been pretty darn good.
Even though the Toronto Raptors have dropped their last two games, this team is still going to factor in who represents the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.
Sure, they may be a player or two, probably along the frontline, from seriously contending (even in the Eastern Conference), you can’t deny the fact that this team has come a long way from where they were two years ago.
Building off of last season, all the Raptors really need to do this year is win a playoff series.
Grade: B+
