Biggest Weakness: Overconfidence
The Raptors have clearly been the best team in the Atlantic Division during the regular season for two-straight years, but that changes once the calender hits April.
Talent is not the problem, as they have three players that can score the ball at will in DeMar Derozn, Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas, but their confidence in the playoffs has been their problem.
Instead of getting stronger this offseason, they let one of their best players in Amir Johnson leave via free agency. I don’t know if the big stage causes stage fright or what, but they are clearly one of the NBA’s top underachievers.
