Toronto Raptors
Is finishing 3rd good enough?
The Toronto Raptors have had relatively the same core for the last few years, and they continue to fall short of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference. Now, they likely fall short of the Boston Celtics too.
Question is, is finishing 3rd in the East good enough for the franchise? If so, then continuing to roll down this path is a good idea. However, at a certain point, perhaps the front office should come to the conclusion that it simply isn’t good enough.
And that’s when the bold moves will come. Until then, though, they’ll continue to impress in the regular season and fall short in the playoffs.
