The Toronto Raptors may not have Bismack Biyombo anymore, but they’re still really good. That somehow got forgotten over the last few months. They were in position to knock off the Cleveland Cavaliers, but ended up losing by three.

It’s not a bad loss, especially considering it was fresh off their 18-point beatdown of the Detroit Pistons.

The Raptors are going to win a lot of regular season games this season. Not much has changed for this team, especially as long as Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are front and center.

Question is, can this team get over the LeBron-sized hump in the playoffs?
