Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are playing really good basketball out of the gate. Toronto has Kawhi Leonard now and he is making clear that he is fully recovered from his injury of last season. Leonard has lead the Raptors to a 4-0 start so far.

One of those victories was over the Boston Celtics who the Raptors expect to compete with for the NBA Eastern Conference crown. Kyle Lowry is averaging 21 points per game and Kawhi Leonard is averaging 25 points per game. These two players have shown the Toronto fans that special things may be ahead for them.

I can certainly see the Raptors winning around 60 games. Bottom line is this. Do we trust the Raptors when it matters most? Do we trust them in the playoffs?
